Next Level Performance

Coaching Services

Most athletes work hard on practicing for competition, yet may not perform as they expect they should. Often times athletes will ask: “Why do poor performances happen to hard working athletes?” The answer is simply that these athletes have not trained their minds as they have trained their bodies.

Frustrated athletes today in all sports ranging from archery to hockey are enlisting sports psychologists or mental coaches to help them improve their performance. They understand that mental skills training, in conjunction with physical skill training, will bring their performance to the next level.

"Sports performance is 60%
physical and 90% mental.”
- Yogi Berra

Many athletes, frustrated with performance lags or plateaus, achieve success using sports psychology techniques. The techniques taught by mental coaches are also useful to performing artists and business people to help alleviate anxiety, increase confidence, and enhance overall performance. Some of the techniques used include:

Awareness Training - identifying personal physiological responses to stress and control over those responses.
Mental Toughness - the key to enhanced performance; the ability to make the mind and body work as one.
Visualization - “seeing” a performance in the mind’s eye before a performance is an excellent tool for success.
Relaxation Training - breathing and other techniques to control level of arousal to enhance performance.
Self-Talk Control - the ability to change negative talk to positive talk.
Confidence Training - learn ways to build confidence and improve game performance.
Goal Setting - setting realistic achievable goals to turn weakness into strengths.
Fostering Team Cohesiveness - teams develop skills as a unit to improve play while supporting the individual athlete.

I learned how to stay calm and manage my game better after reading Dr. Kessler’s book. I haven’t had a score above 90 since.

Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed the book. I was amazed how well the author knew me. It’s almost like he was in my head. I can’t wait to start practicing so I can start spring ‘08 golf with an edge.
