Sam Novak, an Arizona high school student and aspiring pole vaulter, is making waves in the track and field community with his exceptional performance, thanks to the mental skills he has honed under the guidance of Sierra Dimberg, PhD, sport psychologist at Banner Sports Medicine. Sam has been training rigorously to enhance his pole vaulting abilities, allowing him to recently win the Arizona title in all divisions in pole vaulting. With the help of Dr. Dimberg's coaching on mental skills, he has learned to center himself and focus before each jump while competing. This newfound mental fortitude has propelled Sam to achieve remarkable heights, with his current record standing at an impressive 17 feet! "When you're about to fall from such a height, it can be daunting," says Sam. "But through Dr. Dimberg's teachings, I have gained the confidence to know that I can do it and that I will soar over the bar." At Banner Sports Medicine High Performance Center, our mental skills program, grounded in sport psychology, offers specific strategies to help you perform at your best – regardless of experience or competitive level.
