Dr. John F. Murray Presents ...

An Induction of 15 Special People into the  Smart Sports Hall of Fame

A Photo Journal of True Superstars who Strongly Advocate for Sports Psychology and the Mental Game
 Enjoy this album of inspiring leaders in sports who have applauded the value of psychology. I appreciate what each has done to remove stigmas and emphasize the mental game. I overlooked thousands for sure, and this is obviously a biased list based on those I've recently worked with or received support from, but it's a start and we need to credit good people like these.
