Original Toronto Star caption: Something new for athletes: Dr. Brent Rushall of Lakehead University is taking a new approach to prepare Canada's wrestlers for Olympics in Montreal. He is teaching a form of mental self-control and here he's examining test charts. Each wrestler keeps activity word list and in effect meditates on the words during a match when a certain course of action is required. It's all a little complicated; but according to wrestlers; it has already worked in bouts.
