TESTIMONIALS:
Ask me about a hockey player who “walked-on” to a NCAA Division 1 National Championship Hockey Team at Bowling Green State University…after not playing hockey for almost 2 years! How did he do that?
Ask me about how my 1 hour presentation to a soccer team, helped an individual get surprising results in school. His mom told me this powerful story at the next practice after my presentation. She told me that he was having trouble in school, and was basically failing his classes. She said that they had tried everything they could think of to help him. She actually told me that they had just about given up on him! Her son told her the night of my talk, that he was going to try doing what I said at practice, in school, since it worked immediately, and so well on the soccer field. Imagine her surprise when she got a call from him during school! He had just gotten his test score back, and did so well, and was so excited, he called his mom at work to her about it! This works just as well on the field of life!
Ask me about a baseball team that started off their season with 1 win and 5 losses. I worked with them for their next 6 games…and we achieved 6 wins in a row! This coach initially turned down my offer to help. This is typical as coaches feel they have everything under control…as they are the “Coach”. However, most do a great job of teaching the technical skills of the sport, but do not teach how to slow negative thought production, reframe, think positively, relax, focus, visualize, build confidence, and create energy to succeed and win! That is where I come in. I will work with the coach. I add the final ingredients for great performances. I do not infringe on his authority, or ability as a coach. I just complete the recipe for Peak Performances! After all, I am all about a solid team effort!
Ask me about a NCAA Division 1 Collegiate Athlete, who was in fear of losing her Volleyball scholarship to a younger talented athlete. How was she able to get out of her head, and back to playing at her full potential, to win her position back.
Ask me about an Accountant, who needed to reproduce her most productive days, in order keep up with her work demand, and maintain daily life balance.
Ask me about how a motorcycle road racer recreated his first win (with a Peak Performance Visualization) to go on to more personal best performances.
Ask me about a soccer team who had played for the same coach (a former pro) for three years, and was having a loosing season. I worked with them for 2 weeks, and the coach said…”They are playing their best soccer of the year”.
Ask me about a baseball player (who had always been a solid hitter) but was in a long, horrible hitting slump. After our sessions, he sent me an article written about him driving in the winning runs in an important tournament game.
Ask me about a baseball player who was traveling the country, attending college showcases, hoping to land a scholarship. He would come back home more frustrated, depressed, and less confident than he was when he left. How did he build his confidence back up, turn his game around, and hit a homerun when it really counted?
Ask me about a young girl in middle school, who was being bullied, and became so afraid to go to school, she would cry. How did she become tougher than, and deal with her bully?
Ask me about a High School Basketball player who was the team’s leading scorer, but lost his confidence to shoot…resulting in low self-esteem, fear, and team losses…and how he then lead his team to victory after our sessions.
