Master Your Mental Game
Using a process that gets results without spending a fortune.
The Problem We All Face...
All coaches know how it feels when you put in the work and the athletes are ready to succeed, but then miss the mark. I've seen it first hand with my athletes. However, if it's not a matter of skill, it's got to be something else... It comes down to their mental state or states.
If athletes lose focus or succumb to distractions, it can be game over. Achieving peak performances more reliably is possible, with a bit of specific training.
How Costly Really Is It?
Missing the podium or losing a game can alter an athlete's trajectory for their entire career. Your athletes' success depends on winning pivotal performances.
Perhaps a bigger problem you might not be aware of is 54% of athletes, the reason they leave sport, it's not because of losing one game or podium position, it's due to injury. And, when athletes get hurt, it's usually not a matter of skill either, it's due to compromised mental states.
So, What Can We Do?
Learning the physical and mental states that take you out of the moment, the internal distractions that compromise focus, attention, and decision-making makes you a better coach and helps your athletes.
By applying mental training tools in every practice, game, or contest, you will give your athletes a competitive edge to turn good performances into great ones.

Read MoreHeadStartPro provides athletes and coaches with fundamental skills in developing self-awareness in their sport environment. Their terminology provides a solid structure for an athlete to base their sport experience with the HeadStart context, and the anecdotal videos provide good examples of how the error causing states can negatively impact sport performance. This online program is a good tool to open an athlete's awareness to the mental factors that can impact their sport performance, and opens the possibility for more specific mental skill training when the athlete has a grasp of the self-awareness skills the program advocates. The online format makes it easy to go at your own pace with the program.
