This Saturday — Stop Spiraling and Fence With Confidence: Mental Training Clinic at DCFC

Corwin Duncan of Sharper Mind Training is returning to DCFC on Saturday, May 2 for another mental training clinic. If you haven’t been to one of these, make sure to check it out—Corwin’s coaching has helped out numerous DCFC fencers, from veteran world team members to youth competitors. Corwin has taught clinics around the country, so it’s always great to have him back on home turf.

One quote from a happy parent:

‘I just wanted to let you know that whatever topics and techniques you went over during the workshop, they worked! My son went to two tournaments after your workshop, he was able to pass the first DE bouts which was a big improvement. One of the DEs, he only got 5 points during halftime, and was able to win the bout in the end 15 vs 13.’ –Violet T.

If you can’t make it to the clinic, Corwin also has a free guide for fencing parents available for download at www.sharpermindtraining.com/guide
