The Power Of A Relaxed Mind.

As a competitor, Weintraub devotes many hours a week to improve his performance as an athlete. One of the key factors in throwing better than the time before is by becoming better physically, as well as mentally.
Weintraub focuses on several tactics to prepare for competition. His practice first begins with a workout focused on a specific muscle group pertaining to throwing. However, the team must devote several hours a week to practicing, where he then builds a consistent flow in his form.

The team meets five days a week for throwing and typically have events every other day. In addition to physical practice, Weintraub relaxes his mind as a form of meditation and relaxation. By watching TV and watching throwing videos, Weintraub allows his mind to rest before his practices.
While physical practice further helps the athlete build strength, it is the mental rest that allows him to recharge and reboot. Without the rest and meditation, the athlete would be unable to perform well physically.
