President Dave (R) thanks Dr. Charles Maher for a lively and informative presentation
Speaker - Dr. Charles Maher, Advisor Cleveland Guardians Professional Sport Performance and Its Relationship to Business Performance
Based on his 37 years of work in the professional sport and business consulting, Dr. Maher discussed the mental development for players on the professional level of sport and the relevance for the development of people in business. Some of the areas he discussed were : the player as a person coping with risk, being a teammate, developing values beyond sport, having a vision for success, developing an understanding of their own personality and understanding other people, places and things. Professional players must be on time, respect the game and work hard. They should consider how they compete in dealing with results, risks and staying in the moment. He believes that talent with preparation will bring growth. His mantra is “Name It, Claim It, Fix It”.
