At all levels of sport, mental fitness often sets athletes apart from
competitors. On Thursday, June 5, 2008, Marvin Zauderer will speak on "The
5 Core Skills of Mentally Fit Athletes," and will present steps that all
athletes can take to strengthen important mental skills. Whether you're a
competitive athlete, recreational athlete, coach, or parent of an athlete,
this presentation will give you tools that you can use.

The talk, sponsored by Marin Cyclists (http://www.marincyclists.com/) and
a benefit for the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League
(http://www.norcalmtb.org/), is free for Marin Cyclists and NorCal HS MTB
League members, and a $10 (or more, if you can) suggested donation for all
others.

The talk will begin at 7:00 p.m., with Q&A beginning at 8:00 p.m. It will
be held at the San Rafael Corporate Center, Tamalpais Room, at 750 Lindaro
Street in San Rafael, just off Highway 101 at the Central San Rafael exit.
