Athletes/Coaches/Parents:

For an athlete to perform to the best of his or her ability, they need to have the mental game to match their physical game. As a mental game coach, Paul designs programs specifically for individual athletes or teams to help them reach their potential. Just some of the important things they will master through the program are:

• How to identify limiting beliefs and expectations.
• Learn about comfort zones.
• Learn the importance of setting goals and how to develop an effective goal-setting program.
• Learn the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
• Identify if they are an over motivated or under motivated athlete.
• Learn why perfectionism can hurt an athlete's performance.
• Learn the difference between the flow and the “zone”. Learn how to get in the “zone” more often and how to stay in it longer.
• Understand the difference between self-confidence and self-esteem and how to improve them both.
• Learn the factors that influence concentration. Learn how to cope with distractions and handle the ebb and flow of concentration.
• Learn how to stay in emotional control and learn effective relaxation drills.
• Overcome the fear of failure and fear of success and develop healthy beliefs.
• Understand the difference between a training or practice mindset and a trusting or performance mindset.
• Identify the breakdowns in trust.
• Learn how to develop pre-performance or pre-shot routines.
• Understand the value of mental rehearsal, imagery tapes, self-talk and affirmations.

Coaches can also learn:

• How to develop an effective practice plan based on motor learning.
