What is Mental Game Coaching In Sports?
"A Mental Performance Coach helps athletes develop mental skills to perform consistently well in competition. This is similar to a head coach who focuses on the physical and tactical components of sport. Mental Performance Coaches work with athletes one on one or in groups to identify their mental strengths and to break through mental barriers to improve their performance. Overcome the frustration caused by not performing at your peak potential in competition with mental toughness training! Your mind what you think and believe – is your most powerful asset and is what separates average from great athletes. Mental toughness leads you into the winner’s circle – consistently! Beat the competition and enhance your mental stamina with sports, hard work, and determination combined with superior mental toughness training or self-paced learning programs. "

"Mental Training is a worthy endeavor, and one you won't regret. Tap into the enormous power that is you by removing the mental clutter and limiting thoughts that have held you back from playing bigger in your life."
- Lindsey Wilson - Positive Performance Coach
"What does it mean to play heads-up baseball? A heads-up player has confidence in his ability, keeps control in pressure situations, and focuses on one pitch at a time. His mental skills enable him to play consistently at or near his best despite the adversity baseball presents each day. "
- Dr. Ken Ravizza- Sport Psychology Consultant
"The BIGGEST PROBLEM in coaching is that most coaches and trainers don’t know how to help the people they coach develop the mental skill set it takes to consistently be at their best, reach their goals, and achieve long term success. Without training the mental side of performance, you’ll continue to struggle with the same mental barriers that have held you back for so long. Blocking you from reaching your TRUE potential as an athlete. Mental skills can determine whether an athlete will self-sabotage and fall short of their potential, or whether they’ll win when everything is on the line."
- Brian Cain - Mental Performance Mastery Coaching
"My coaching philosophy is rooted in the foundational belief that facing your fears head-on will result in performance breakthroughs. Pushing your body to new physical extremes can be seriously uncomfortable. But the better an athlete becomes at facing their fear embracing it, even - the sooner he or she will realize that it's possible to push beyond anticipated limits."
- Siri Lindley - Triathlon Coach and former Professional Triathlete
"Coaching is about working with athletes and helping them to reach their goals. Coaches play an essential role in an athlete’s life. They need to educate the player and provide them with opportunities to grow and reach their full potential. You may not realize it, but underlying fear is the number one barrier to success. Whether it is fear of failure, of judgment, of not being good enough, or of anything else. Break through fear and become fearless in order to effectively pursue your dreams."
- Brenley Shapiro - Mental Psychology & Performance Consultant
"Make no mistake about it, athletes not only need effective leadership, but they also desire it. Young people want consistent parameters, direction, order, structure, organization, and discipline. They need it, whether they know it or not it gives them security, and that, in turn helps them to be more confident."
-Harvey A. Dorfman-Master Mental Skills Coach
“So the physical skills are prepared in the game situations, but what have you done to prepare your mind? Can you really just expect it to be calm, relaxed and confident in a game situation when all of a sudden you’ve added all of these variables of pressures and distractions? If you want to remove the variables of foreign territory and make game situations familiar territory, you must put time aside each day to develop these mental skills of confidence, relaxation and concentration. It’s why in our program we devote so much time and energy to this side of the equation.”
