What are our mental coaching students saying?

“After your session, Mason had a game. He had the best game so far! He hustled, shot, no goals but two assists but he was cool with it because his focus was on shooting and not scoring (finally), defended well with his hands – finally put it all together. It was fun to watch and you could tell he felt really good about it.”*
~Kelly, Lacrosse mom

The Confident Athlete CD programs programs were a real eye-opener for me and exposed many perfectionist traits that were holding me back. I learned that I don’t need to have a “magic surfboard” or train 5 hours a day to win. As a result, I enter competitions now more relaxed and confident than ever. It was a 180 degree turn for me.

Add More Value To Your Mental Training Programs!

UPDATED IN 2018 – If you’re an established mental game professional, just starting your career, or a team coach, would you believe me if I said that I’ve discovered a new system that will help your athletes improve faster and add value to your mental coaching programs?

We’ve developed an entire series of workbooks designed to help athletes learn mental strategies specifically with the mental coach in mind.

The Athlete’s Mental Edge workbooks complement your existing mental training program—they do not replace your regular one-on-one coaching sessions.

The Athlete’s Mental Edge Workbooks Help You:

  • Improve your athlete’s commitment to mental training
  • Organize homework assignments and strategies you provide
  • Accelerate your athlete’s learning curve with the mental game
  • Allow you to do more coaching or fine tuning and less “teaching”
  • Improve organization to your follow up sessions
  • Obtain timely feedback from your athletes about their use of mental skills in competition
  • Add perceived value to your current mental training programs

What are mental coaches saying?

“I’ll start by saying that the Mental Edge Workbook program is awesome. It put all the pieces together for my mental work with soccer players.”
~Eitan Azaria, Mental Coach for Soccer

“I am really pleased with the Athlete’s Mental Edge workbooks – they are fitting in really well with my coaching! I find they offer a great framework for doing workshop sessions. I have also used the workbooks with a few individual athletes – for the younger ones (12 and under). They are giving a good structure and framework to our sessions. The workbooks have worked well with all of them!”
~Kerri Morgan, Mental Game Coach
