             Proper Mental Training IS:

          ·        Regular and systematic

·        Based on science and experience

·        Conducted both in group as well as one-on-one

·        Directed by a qualified sport psychologist who understands and can deal with a full range of sports performance issues as well as clinical issues that might affect performance

Proper mental training leads to steady, significant progress and improved on-field performance. It helps players reduce distractions, expand their mental skills and have more success.

Its Resources Include:

·        Comprehensive Mental Skills Assessments

·        Mental Skills Training

·        Lectures and Sport Psychology/Performance Enhancement Seminars

·        Team Performance Ratings

·        Player Symptoms Checklists (to screen for more serious problems)

·        One-on-One Counseling for Personal Issues When Needed

Proper Mental Training Is Not Merely:

·        A Motivational Speech by a Celebrity or Former Star Athlete

·        A One-Time Presentation as a Fix to All Your Problems

·        Coaches telling players to stay focused and confident

Do You Want a Proper Mental Training Program for Your Team? 

Please take a closer look:

You want to win.  I work with NFL, College and High School football teams to help players reduce distractions, improve mentally, and have more success. My resources include:   

- Mental Skills Assessment & Training
- One-On-One Counseling for Personal issues
- Crisis Intervention 
- Lectures & Sport Psychology Seminars 
- Team Performance Ratings
- Flexibility to address a range of other areas


How it all works: 

All elite athletes have talent. They also work very hard.  But since everyone has these qualities and competition is usually very close, talent and work are never enough. What else is needed? The advantage goes to the players or team with superior mental skills. It is summed up in the following simple formula:

Talent  + Work  + Mental Skills  = Performance -----> SUCCESS
I train athletes to improve their m
ental skills through a variety of proven sport psychology services. My specialty is helping athletes improve their  mental skills. This enhances  performance and a better chance for success!

By helping athletes improve in areas such as passion/motivation, confidence, focus, goal-setting, imagery, resilience, discipline, energy control .... Performance will improve!
