Now don't get me wrong... There is nothing mentally wrong with the athlete. What I am saying is by overlooking mental preparation they are giving themselves a harder time of reaching their goals.
There is a saying work smarter, not harder.
For athletes who want to achieve their goals quicker than they are doing now, mental preparation coaching can help you. You need to use your mind to do everything so if there are techniques out there that can help you achieve your goals quicker than if you just follow your regular programme wouldn't you want to add those techniques to your programme? There is a saying sport is 90% mental, 10% physical therefore the mental fitness is more important than physcial fitness.
With mental preparation coaching you can:
- Immediately put into practice what you get from your coaching sessions;
- It helps to speed up your physical fitness;
- Improve your decision making capacity so you get the best results for yourself/team;
- Have less injuries because you are thinking clearer;
- Speed up the rate at which you correct technical errors;
- Cope with the pressures your sport brings;
- Win more of the events/competitions you compete in. Even if you are part of a team the improvement you receive from the mental preparation coaching will have you be a significant contributor to your teams success by bringing out the leader in you;
- Cope well with life off the field;
- And much more...
Testimonial
"My personal performance was better as a result of these sessions, allowing me to be a contributing part of our team's success. In retrospect, I now realize more than ever that sport is not only physical. There is a large psychological aspect of sport that tends to be either undernourished or completely ignored. This is a grave mistake. Jamaica has always been a source of great athletes, based solely on the amount of raw talent and potential that exists. If we combine training of the psyche along with training of the body, the results will be phenomenal."
Cameron Jones, Jamaica Water Polo Team
