New Link: Combat Sport Psychology

As a matter of coincidence, my wife got me a subscription to Black Belt Magazine, something I've not had for many, many years (since the 80's, I think), I received my first issue, and I got an email from Dr. Randy Borum, who happens to be a columnist (Psyched) for the same magazine. Weird. How do these things happen???

It turn out that Dr. Borum has started a blog called Combat Sport Psychology. He describes it as, "... a collection of articles applying sport psychology to martial arts generally and to competitive performance in combat sports more specifically." We checked it out, and would recommend you do the same!
