Mental Performance Training

Are you ready to achieve the elite mindset, culture and consistency required to succeed at the highest levels of competition? Are you ready to develop a champions mentality? If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then you are in the right place. I work with athletes from all sports, across all ages and abilities to help them develop the skills, techniques and methods used to mentally perform in the most pressurised of environments.

WHAT IS MENTAL PERFORMANCE TRAINING?

Mental Performance training is about ensuring that the top 6 inches performs at its maximum capability to ensure the rest of you can follow suit! It can cover a range of areas from confidence to coping, performance anxiety to process goals - the list is endless. The key thing is ensuring that athletes have the tools available to ensure that their mental performance allows their physical and technical skills to shine. One of the biggest myths around mental performance is that you only need to think about it when you hit a block in your development. When you start feeling too much pressure in games, when you get dropped from a team, when your goals start drying up. It's often thought about as something we 'fix' when things start to go wrong. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG! Every athlete should be working on developing their mental skills to ensure that when they do hit those blocks (which they will, because everyone does), that they have the skills and techniques in place to recognise and overcome them.

MENTAL PERFORMANCE IS A SKILL SET YOU CAN TRAIN!

Just like you can train your body to develop the proper technique to dribble a football or shoot a puck, you can train your mind to become more focused, resilient, and confident. But it won't happen by accident. You have to train your mind intentionally - with consistency, structure — and proven methods for success. Some of the mental skills you need to be successful include:

An elite mindset As you learn to grow and train your mindset, you will finally be able to blast through mental barriers that have held you back for so long.
Motivation and commitment When adversity comes knocking (as it always does), will you push through… or fold? You can develop the “staying power” needed to remain strong and focused when things get hard.
Keeping the process over the outcome There are a thousand-and-one things you can't control. Incredible power is found in being able to identify what you CAN control and directing your energy and focus there.
Self-control and discipline Being able to identify and consistently do the things that will have the greatest impact on reaching your big goals.
Confidence Learning how to create unshakeable belief in yourself and your ability so you can perform consistently under pressure and navigate adversity.
Focus and Self-awareness Being able to recognize challenges before they happen, and develop the self-regulation to get back on track when things pull you off track.
Routines and Habits of excellence Elite performance is the product of having go-to strategies and methods you use as part of pre/during/post competition routines.

My Mental Performance Coaching follows the principles developed by Brian Cain, one of the most respected mental skills coaches in the world, having worked with hundreds of athletes from the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, UFC and more!
