Ugh, mental blocks are the worst. 

They are frustrating both in the experience itself, and in the results they prevent. 

They also happen to be the main reason athletes come to see me. 

Something is in the way of being their best. And the harder they try to fix it, the more frustrated they become. 

So in this article I will share what a mental block is, what it looks and feels like, what causes it, and, most importantly, how to get past them.

We easily see the power of physical skills and talent when an athlete does something remarkable in sports. 

Or in business when the company has exceptional results. 

Or in the performing arts when we are left in awe after witnessing beauty on-stage. 

But what we don’t see is how each of these high performers got there. 

Meaning the mindset that kept them growing through adversity and challenges. 

It is your mindset that will determine how far you will go. 

So it makes sense that investing in a mindset coach may be one of the most profitable choices you can make. 

In this article, we’ll explore what a mindset coach is and does, how a mindset coach can specifically help you, and end with five ways utilizing a mindset coach can transform your performance.

If you could possess one characteristic to achieve excellence in your field, self-discipline may be at the top of the list. 

Think about it … How many times have you tried to start (or stop) a new habit, but got derailed? 

How much further ahead would you be if you had remained consistent in your efforts? 

Self-discipline is the path to our potential and that’s why we dive into exactly what it is and how to improve it below.

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to effortlessly achieve high performance in their personal, athletic and professional lives? 

They seem to have a knack for making quick and effective decisions that propel them forward. 

What you’re seeing is the power of decisiveness in action! 

In this article, we’ll explore what decisiveness is, its main characteristics, and how it can help you reach new heights of high performance. 

Then we’ll dive into some practical strategies to become more decisive and how to make informed decisions that boost overall performance while minimizing risk.

Mindset is everything as a game-changer for athletes. 

Whether you’re an aspiring athlete looking to improve your performance or a dedicated fan seeking a better understanding of what separates the best from the rest, mindset is everything and by reading this article you will find out why and how to improve it.

Excellence is not normal. By definition, it is extraordinary. If you want to be in the top 5%, you have to be able and willing to do what 95% of the others either can’t or won’t. 

Use these tools to boost confidence and reduce anxiety in your young athlete.

Learn how to overcome the struggles of perfectionism.

How should you deal with all of those “what if’s”?
