The MAP boys sit down with Graham Betchart, the Mental Skills Coach for the Sacramento Kings, who is also the co-founder of "Train the Mind," an online program with over 600 mental performance exercises that can be used by anyone looking to improve their performance. Graham is also the author of the best-selling book, "Play Present: A Mental Skills Training Program for Basketball Players." We also discuss his project with Grant Parr called "MaxConscious" that combines music with meditations and other key teachings.

Graham has worked with many of the top NBA players, including Aaron Gordon, Ben Simmons, Karl Anthony-Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Jaylen Brown to name a few. The conversation includes such topics as the unique mental challenges of the professional athlete, how to stay present when it matters most, challenges of the young athlete -- how you can use the same systems and strategies he teaches athletes in your day to day living.

You are definitely going to want to have your pen and paper ready to listen to this 'electric factory' known as Graham Betchart. Enjoy the conversation.
