Join mental performance coach Christian Straka–who has worked in professional sports for over 30 years–for this special talk on how we can utilize mindfulness to improve our performance–both on the playing field and in everyday life. 

Many of us find that as we navigate the various stressors of modern life, we lose our connection to the present. Mindfulness helps us to bring our mind and body into harmony so that we can fully experience what is happening in the moment. Christian has touched on this wisdom for years to deliver evidence-based mindfulness skill development to the athletes he works with as the Global Mindset Coach for Adidas Runners.

In this talk, Christian will show how mindfulness can be as helpful to a professional athlete prepping for an event as it is to a college student looking to ace their next exam. As we undertake this journey of integrating mindfulness into our daily lives, Christian will help us to explore how we develop our mindfulness skills in order to create a game-plan for performance improvement. 

This event is the fourth part of our five part New Voices: An InsightLA Benefit Series (read more). Be a part of this special celebration to support our future brilliant programming!
