“Harnessing the Power of the Mind” Cheri Cope, Athletic Mind, LLC
Using the Power of the Mind to manifest the success you desire by setting intentions and maintaining focus and concentration on fulfilling all
that you are capable of. “It is not the rock we conquer but ourselves.” Developing a strong mind is learning that our limitations are those that
we allow to influence us through internal and external distractions. By harnessing the power of the mind we create a life of purpose.
