Join Free →Behavior analysis is the science of human behavior, and as such, its applications are endless. This presentation will explore how I pivoted from autism services to opening a sports, coaching, and performance practice. I'll focus first on how I leveraged the science of human behavior to build a business, drive client interactions, and establish meaningful EOs for my services with athletes. Finally, I'll discuss ABA-based assessments and interventions that I utilize to coach and maximize performance with the ultra-runners I train in South Florida. This presentation will include data from several case studies focused on developing mental resiliency and improving performance in ultra-runners.
