Sports Psychologist George Mumford Lectures with Section XI

In September, the Section XI Safety Committee, under the direction of Bayport-Blue Point Athletic Director Tim Mullins, and Mark Mensch, a longtime member of the committee, brought forward a concept that was readily accepted. How can we help our student-athletes and their families?

The answer was George Mumford, a leading expert on sports psychology.

“As we can attest, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and its effects have impacted the lives of our student-athletes, coaches, officials and parents in various ways,” said Section XI Executive Director Tom Combs. “There have been numerous adjustments and disruptions in our daily lives, and not everyone has the coping mechanisms to deal with all the changes.  With Georges’ guidance, it is our hope that we can take away tools and management mechanisms to assist all of us.”

George provided Section XI with various tools to enable us all to make the best of a tough situation.

If you missed the session, a copy of the webinar will be posted on the Section XI website shortly for your review.
