Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.

Robert Griffin III

In the pursuit of excellence, many athletes and coaches will dedicate immense amount of time and resources to physical training, therapy, and nutrition, while neglecting to engage in mental skills training. The ability to perform under pressure, bounce back from setbacks, display a high degree of confidence and focus, isn’t something you are born with, but rather something that must be trained, developed and mastered. The mind is as important to train as the body. Training that does not include mental skills is akin to leaving key pieces out of a puzzle – it is not complete, and can cause all the other great elements of one’s training to come undone.

Applied sport psychology involves applying mental and emotional concepts of human performance, to assist athletes in realizing their abilities. Mental performance consultants are skilled with the ability to identify, develop and implement mental skills training to enhance the performances and positive personal development of athletes. Additionally, a mental performance consultant can facilitate in addressing performance inhibitors to ensure athletes are able to achieve consistent and improved results.

Did you know that mental factors, such as confidence, distraction control, focus, anxiety/arousal, and concentration, account for the most fluctuations in performance? Train the mind like you train the body and you are on your way to maximizing your potential.Are you leaving gaps in your ability to achieve your potential?
