Sports psychology/performance coaching has been around for decades researching the components of how one’s mental activities distract or optimize performance. The long held conclusion is that mental factors influence and are influenced by participation in sports, exercise, and physical activity. The unique contribution of a performance coach is that they focus exclusively on freeing and training the mind of the athlete to remain strong and positive by building and refining the mental tools. By concentrating on the mental skills needed for success, performance coaches seek to achieve the overall goal of improved performance and enjoyment during competition. Performance coaching helps free your mind, allowing you to move past the stumbling blocks that have been holding back your true potential. Use proven methods to get consistently in your optimal mental zone allowing more success and enjoyment in your activity or sport. Get an edge on the competition by utilizing what many professional, collegiate, Olympic, and serious athletes already use, a performance enhancement coach or trainer. Features of Performance Coaching Your mind powerfully impacts your performance, as much as your physical readiness. Many athletes over train their bodies and under train their minds. A trained, focused, mentally tough mind will take you consistently to a higher level of achievement. We help you build mental muscle and free your mind to attain consistent peak performance, putting you at the leading edge of your sport. Take control of your game, and develop a mental plan to work on your weaknesses and enhance your strengths. You’re provided with the skills and
tools to be mentally prepared for success: At every level of performance we deal with the basic issues of success, failure, competition and achievement. Our performance is often based on the beliefs we hold about ourselves, often unconsciously. From the time you were born, response to your actions was praised, rejected, or ignored forming your self-image. Some of those negative occurrences compile in your mind and have an impact on your current performance, whether or not you consciously think about them. Few performance experts speak of the impact of past experiences, but they go directly to the core of and individual’s success or failure. The truth is that these negative experiences must be approached and handled before future performance can improve. To resolve an individuals’ performance anxiety or other blockers effectively, a therapist needs to explore the personal history. This process can be unsettling, as looking into the past to ease away the block is necessary. Rather than prolong the emotional delving, EMDR locates the root cause at warp speed, helping you discover parallels between past events and present performance difficulties. You quickly be come aware that these connections are stored in your own system Events from the past may be inhibiting your
current and future potential. These feelings and inhibitions don’t
spring out of nowhere, but all arise from experiences earlier in
life. EMDR is a psychology-based therapy that helps a person see
disturbing material and memories in a less distressing way. People
do not realize that occurrences from the past continually affect
their performances, and inhibit their potential. By providing access
to the body system and its vast potential, EMDR can take performers
beyond what we have achieved, to a higher level of efficiency. |
