Do You Need A Mental Game Coach?

You are a golfer who needs to sink a makeable putt on the final hole to make the match.
You are thinking to yourself that you just can’t miss this putt. From past experience, you know full well that praying that you won’t miss will likely lead to the miss you most dread.
You are the left-fielder on your varsity baseball team and you are getting a shot to be on the first team. You are pretty confident when it comes to your offense, but you hope that the ball will not be hit to you.
You are the leading guard on your basketball team. Throughout most of the game, you are the focal point of your team’s offense, but when it comes down to the final minute, you don’t want the ball in your hands.
You are the middle linebacker on your football team. It is the senior season you have waited for your entire life. Your defense is all league, but your coach asks you to be the featured running back as well. You have no confidence at that position and you fear you will be an embarrassment.
What do all of these athletes have in common?
They need a mental game coach.
How do I know?
I have worked with all of these athletes.
Every athlete who achieves a milestone such as making or starting on their team, has indicated a certain level of talent.
They have been coached arduously to bring this talent front and center.
But what about their mental game?
Who has coached them in this crucial factor in the full athletic package?
I am writing this today to promise you that you are about to hear a great deal about the mental game of coaching.
Personally, I work with athletes in all sports, students who want to excel in school, entrepreneurs and others who want to use a great deal more of their brain they currently are applying to their life.
That is what champions do.
I coached Chris to believe every putt was going in the hole.
Stacy now wants the ball hit to her.
Austin lets his teammates know that as the clock runs down, he wants the ball.
Joe became one of the greatest fullbacks in the history of his school.
The Mental game was once a secret shared by very few champions.
Now, a whole new generation of champions is finding out the true power of a mental game.
On the playing field, in the classroom, in business, in coaching, parenting and in any arena in life where one seeks peak performance, there is a new game in town.
The mental game.
Find someone who convinces you that they know what the mental game is all about.
When you discover that perfect mental game coach, I assure you they will make a difference in your game and a difference in your life.
