We are excited to welcome guest speaker Zac Robbins from Adler University, who will be presenting “Racing with the Mind”, a sports psychology and mental skills clinic, followed by a Q&A session! This will be an in person event at Burton Snowboards, and all team members are welcome to join! No RSVP required! We do also plan to provide a live stream and/or recorded option for those that can’t attend, but we want to encourage you to come in person if you can! Snacks and beverages will also be provided!

Here is more info on Zac:

"With an extensive background in competitive sports, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the field of sports psychology. Having played Division 1 hockey and competed professionally, I faced the challenge of a career-ending back injury, which led to a transformative shift in my focus. Leveraging this personal journey, I earned an M.S. in Human and Sport Performance, channeling my passion for sports into helping people achieve peak performance and overcome mental hurdles.

Following my injury, I transitioned from heavy weight lifting to swimming, biking, and running - organically developing a high interest in endurance sports. I completed the Chicago Triathlon which led me to my current training; competing in my first Ironman this summer.

Today, I use my unique blend of firsthand athletic experience, advanced academic knowledge, and evidence-based tools and techniques to empower athletes at all levels, providing personalized strategies for mental resilience and performance enhancement."
