Peak performance and being in the zone are
the desires of every athlete. Yet, not knowing
that the key to peak performances and the zone
is finding leads to frustration, discouragement
and inconsistency in performances and competition.
The flow is located using the athletic mind.
It is not the result of training, coaching,
pep talks or desire. In the personal mind
of every athlete is the potential for great
success if an athlete knows how to tap it.
A different paradigm based on knowing
your potential and using mental skills to prepare
and perform athletically can improve confidence,
maximize capabilities, and increase enjoyment.
With three decades of experience working with
athletes, coaches, teams, and parents, I have
discovered what works to achieve peak performances
consistently and confidently. My approach
to sport psychology brings together my knowledge,
training and especially extensive experience
working with athletes in almost every sport.
I apply it all to peak performance, team dynamics,
purposeful leadership, and enjoying the athletic
experience using the New Success paradigm
have developed. The emphasis in this model
is on success not winning, on purpose not goals,
and on results not outcomes. Success is the
level of results experienced compared to the
level of potential for results.
This paradigm uses the Mental Essentials, which
are four mental skills plus routines that athletes
use to prepare for, intervene in, and then evaluate
their performances. The paradigm emphasizes
personal responsibility and accountability for
knowing and increasing an a specific athlete's
capabilities. I teach and guide athletes
in using their mental skills to open a clear
path between the mind and physical skills execution.
These skills are also used for learning and
changing skills and increasing confidence in
current skills. The same paradigm can be utilized
with teams and coaches to build mental toughness
and team toughness. Not only can athletes
perform at their potential but so can coaches
and teams.
The New Success Paradigm can be learned
and utilized through individual and team consulting
with me or presentations and workshops.
If you want to have peak performances, have
them consistently, and most importantly enjoy
them, the New Success Paradigm can provide
the information, support, and strategies to
do it. Are you ready to compete at your
potential? Contact me to see how we can
work together to bring the Success Paradigm
to your training, team or program or get started
with the same book (order below) I use with
the athletes.
