Sport Psychology provides answers to the questions of mental toughness.
- What is mental toughness?
- How can I improve my mental strength?
In order to improve themselves, athletes and
other performers seek out all sorts of specialist coaches and advisors. Most successful people already possess excellent mental skills. There is, however, always room for improvement.
I worked with a golfer named Helen who had difficulty reproducing her excellent
practice rounds in a competitive environment. We examined her thought processes in each situation and found that she was having many negative thoughts during
competition. Helen’s negative thought processes were creating tension in her body and affecting her swing. After recognising these thought processes and altering
them over a period of time, Helen’s competitive game improved enormously.
Just as technical instruction can enhance performance, so can improving your
mental skills. I can help you to reach peak performances when it counts and give you an edge over other competitors.
Steve Waugh, the Captain of the Australian Cricket Team, has been quoted as
saying that success is 90% mental. Yet mental skills training is lucky to make up 1% of an athlete’s program!
A serious athlete or performer leaves no stone unturned when it comes to physical
preparation for their given art. Why leave the mental part of your performance up in the air? Let me show you how to use proven sport psychology techniques and give yourself a Competitive Edge over your rivals!
