The Fearless Athletes: A 14-Day Program for Unbeatable Trust

“Athletes & Coaches Discover Powerful Mental Strategies To Overcome Fear, Perfectionism, & Perform With Trust.”

Mental Training Strategies You Absolutely Must Know to Overcome Anxiety, Fear, And Perform with Complete Freedom and Trust in Competition!

Dear Athlete or Coach,

I’m master mental game coach Dr. Patrick Cohn, and as you will read here, I have powerful trust-boosting mental strategies that you absolutely must know about! First, please answer three important questions…

1. Are you frustrated with practicing harder and harder in your sport only to have your efforts undone by your mental game during competition?
2. Are you envious of your competitors who seem to take their sport less seriously, but end up winning or beating you nearly every time?
3. Do you feel like your stomach is in a ball of knots and you can’t think clearly because you are so anxious and tense stepping onto the field, court, course, or track?

If you said “yes,” you’re not alone! Many athletes experience these same feelings of anxiety and frustration. Your feelings and thoughts will directly impact your success in sports.

As a sports psychology expert for many top athletes in the world including NASCAR and PGA Tour champions, I know that the two biggest obstacles to reaching your potential are fear of failure and lack of trust. Perfectionistic athletes damage their chance for success because of fear of failure, anxiety, and tension…

Perfectionist or fear-driven athletes:

• Are motivated by fear of failure and avoidance behavior
• Focus on avoiding mistakes at all costs in competition
• Limit themselves with strict or impossible-to-achieve expectations
• Beat themselves up after mistakes, dwell on errors, or blame others for problem performances
• Suffer from a lack of self-confidence in competition
• Are trapped in the web of anxiety and tension, which leads to a lack of trust

For the last two decades, I’ve been working with athletes and helping them optimize their physical ability by teaching them the secrets of top performing athletes. Now, you too can learn how to regain that child-like fearless attitude.

Mental toughness is what separates the winner from the loser in any competition. Champion athletes train hard in practice, perform without fear in competition, and trust their skills in crunch-time.

Fearless Athletes…

• Are success-driven and strive for positive outcomes
• Don’t limit themselves with strict or impossible-to-achieve expectations
• Are able to raise the bar of their performance during crunch-time in competition
• Thrive in the heat of battle and love the thrill of crunch time performance
• Have a massive amount of self-confidence in competition
• Perform free and effortless in competition

How much better would you perform if you
could overcome fear of failure and other
disabling perfectionist habits?

If you are like most athletes, you probably assume that more practice should translate to better performances. But, this theory is flawed! For many athletes, they already have the skills to perform which shows in practice. However, when in competition, the mind can override the most dedicated athlete.

Here are some real life examples of how a mindset might be undermining performance.…

Gymnast Worries About Disappointing Her Coach or Teammates

“When performing at meets, I worry that I will not perform my best and disappoint my coaches and teammates. I become very anxious and try not to make mistakes during my routine. I just can’t let it go and perform freely.”*

Golfer Gets Anxious About Hitting a Shot Out of Play

“On the tee box, all I can see is trouble. I worry about hitting my ball out of bounds or into the water. I become so worried and anxious, I can’t make a smooth swing, steer my shot, and as a result I hit it poorly.”*

Swimmer Becomes Intimidated by Competitors on the Blocks

“I compare myself to my competitors before I get on the blocks. I worry that the fast swimmers will pull away early in the race. This causes me to try too hard to keep the pace early in the race and I tire myself out on the first leg.”*

Hockey Goalie Thinks He Needs to Score a Shut Out Every Game

“I expect not to let the puck get by me in any game. Winning for me is having  a shut out. When I do concede a goal I think to myself ‘you messed up another game’, no matter if we win or lose the game. I feel like I failed to perform up to my ability.”*

Baseball Player Performs Great in the Bill-Pen, But Chokes in Games

“In the bull-pen during batting practice, I always feel relaxed and confident in my ability. But when I get into a game, I feel like a different person. I become tight and don’t want to make any mistakes. The pressure of competition causes my confidence to erode. Trying not to make mistakes makes me feel tight and I can’t make good decisions.”*

Can you identify with any of these real-life scenarios?

All of the above scenarios are born out of fear of failure, which causes athletes to over-control and tighten up – leading to a lack of trust. Perfectionism and fear of failure are closely linked. If you are perfectionistic (and highly motivated), your mind interferes with performance because of the fear of failure.

To succeed in competition, you must learn to trust the skills you mastered in practice. To perform your absolute best, you must embrace a functional mindset void of the tension and anxiety that comes with a fear of failure.

What Athletes & Coaches Say
About The Confident Athlete Series

“Great Job of Simplifying the Myriad of Ideas in Sports Psychology”

“The workbook/CD programs in ‘The Confident Athlete’ are very good. My swimmer has responded very favorably to them. In fact, her father purchased all three programs. You have done a great job consolidating and simplifying the myriad of ideas in sports psychology.”*
~Nick Baker, Peak Performance Swim Camp

“I Can Now Once Again Enjoy the Game”

“The Confident Athlete workbook programs have worked absolutely wonderfully for me!  The quality of my shots has improved 1,000 percent, and my scores are consistently lower, by far!  Also, I have a sense of peace, and quality enjoyment of the game that had been sorely missing.  I love it!  Great work Dr. Cohn! Thank You!”*
~Randy, golfer

“Great Instruction on the Mental Game”

“Patrick, with your great instruction on the mental game, I had the best nationals I have ever had. And even more important, I got through the five days relaxed and had fun – a new concept in my life! The bottom line – I got five firsts and one second! Thank you!  You are just what I needed.”*
~Dennis O’Brien, Swimmer

“Keep Positive Thoughts Flowing”

“My son finished the entire Confident Athlete Program. The CD Program helped TREMENDOUSLY.  He used it to keep positive thoughts flowing.  He was able to focus on his fight instead of on his negative thoughts.  He fought at his very best.  We are thankful to God for leading us to your website. The CONFIDENT ATHLETE was perfect.“*
~Wanda, Sports Parent

“These Programs Really Work!”

“I have just completed ‘The Confident Athlete and The Focused Athlete’ programs. What a major difference your programs have made to me. I was thinking I wasn’t good enough and almost gave the game up. Your web site was recommended to me by another athlete (a shooter) and was the best thing that happened to my mental game. I started to get excited for the first time in a long while and the program was so much fun to do. These programs really work and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, (although I don’t want my fellow competitors to know about them).” Thank you so very much for providing a Mental Training Program, which is the best I have come across, having tried many other tapes, books, etc.”*
~Peter, New Zealand

These are actual success stories from athletes and coaches who have used my Confident Athlete Series Programs. A winning mindset is possible when you accept that changes must be made and then take positive action!

If you can overcome fear of failure and improve trust, would you be able to…

• Finally take your practice game to competition?
• Have more fun by being more relaxed and poised?
• Break through your fears and perform up to your potential more often?
• Or enjoy sports more because you are not a bundle of nerves or afraid to make mistakes?
• Know you can perform well even when you are not perfect?
