Shot Clocks | Aren Ulmer & Dr. Dave Laughlin

Every sport has its own version of a shot clock to induce stress and anxiety, or focus and a flow state.

Whether you sink or swim under that pressure largely depends on the strength of your mental game.

Welcome to the sport psychology of, I’m Gabe Zelico. Today, we’re breaking down the sport psychology of shot clocks.

For the first time, 2 guests will be joining me today - Aren Ulmer and Dave Laughlin, who work at Courtex Performance.

Aren, a former collegiate athlete and coach, delivers training and coaching to boost personal empowerment and drive team performance. He specializes in the development of the whole person to enhance wellness and human performance. His client list includes NCAA and NBA athletes and coaches, international professionals, executives, and educators.

Aren earned his Master’s in Applied Sport and Performance Psychology from Holy Names University and is pursuing a Doctorate of Psychology with an emphasis in Sports and Performance from the University of Arizona Global Campus.

Dave is currently the director of assessment and skill acquisition for Courtex Performance, where he helps athletes, coaches, and organizations perform to their potential more consistently. In his role with Courtex, Dave has worked with clients in the MLB, NBA, OLY, and NCAA. His specialties include athlete profiling, mental skills training, and practice design to improve learning and performance.
