Intermountain St. George
Acceleration will be hosting a free sport psychology seminar titled “Pre-game
Routines: Getting Mentally Ready to Play” on Tuesday, July 28 from 6 to 7 p.m. The seminar will be held in the
Acceleration training center, located on the lower level of the Dixie Regional Health Performance Center, 652 S. Medical Center Drive.

This seminar will feature former Brigham Young University sports psychologist Dr. Ron
Chamberlain. He will discuss how to create pre-game routines designed to help break
down an athlete’s mental barriers.

“Athletes face mental barriers and limitations they're not
sure how to overcome, especially on game day,” said Brennen Ames, certified
exercise specialist at Acceleration. “Mental preparation, visualization and the
right routines have proven to not only break down those barriers, but have an
athlete truly ready to play."

On Aug. 11 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., psychologist Dr. Ron Chamberlain
will present another free seminar, “Mindful Racing: Running Through the Pain.”

In addition to hosting these running seminars, Intermountain
St. George Acceleration also offers individualized training packages to assist
endurance athletes with their preparation. Training experts can help athletes
improve strength, flexibility and running mechanics. Their methods have proven
to yield results, and on average, athletes who have used the program have
noticed a 20 percent increase in agility and cutting speed, a 50 percent
improvement in recovery rates, a 0.2-second improvement in 40-yard dash times,
2- to 4-inch improvements in vertical jump height, and increases in hitting
velocity by 3 mph.

On
Sept. 15 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., St. George Marathon Race
operations manager Kami Ellsworth will present a seminar, “Race Day Prep.”

Acceleration training programs, please call Ames at (435) 705-1260.
