  • Get Them Mentally Ready for the Day - Rewire App Introduction
    Nov 13 2023

    Imagine being able to screen your girls before practice to get a true idea of what you're going to get out of them that day?

    Instead of HOPING you notice the signs. Hoping you don't miss one player among 12-30 players. All so you can get the most out of your limited time with them.

    And what if that process only took a couple minutes using their phones? Oh and THEN what if each player was immediately given a suggested exercise to boost their mental & emotional state for THIS practice.

    That's what Rewire does! Listen in to hear how their app is revolutionizing how we manage our emotional & mental stress :)
