Do you doubt yourself during big moments in competitions?
Mental performance coaching sessions are here to help you break the cycle of doubt and learn how to be confident in a way that is real.
You feel hesitant when you play your sport. You feel uneasy about having the ball in your hands. You're not sure if you should take the open shot. You hesitate and the opportunity in front of you passes. You seriously doubt that you can execute in competition what you've been doing in practice. You're not confident that if the game gives you an opportunity that you can capitalize on it. You would rather pass up the chance to score or make a play so that you can avoid making a mistake.
You're afraid of failing, missing, or making a mistake. You question whether you can execute the moves or the plays you know you've learned. You don't believe that you're capable of making the play when it matters.
You practice hard and are very capable of playing your best. But the uncertainty you feel during games causes you to play with hesitation. Sometimes the game happens faster than you can keep up with. Sometimes you don't see things in game because you aren't even thinking to look for them. Ultimately, your low confidence is limiting your opportunities to show just how talented you really are. What would it look like if you were able to consistently put yourself right into the action? What if you did take the shot? What if you chose to get out of your head and into the game?

FAQs
Q: Why can’t I be confident?
A: Confidence begins with our thoughts and if you think you can't be confident then surely you will not be confident. Your confidence is determined by a variety of factors. Your personality, the environment, past experiences, and your self-talk are just a few things that can determine how confident you are.
Q:What are mental performance coaching sessions like?
A: Coaching sessions are 30-60 minutes. It will feel like we are having a discussion about you. At times it may seem like a classroom while you're learning new skills. But it will always come back to a conversation about you.
Q: How long do I need to be in coaching?
A: Coaching sessions are a proactive resource to support high performing individuals. You may see progress quickly in a few sessions but it may also come over a longer period of time. If you're thinking about making a change then we would begin by working together to create a plan for how you will achieve your desired result. You will take action on the plan we've created and we'll work on any roadblocks or setbacks you encounter. After a maintenance period where you've applied changes to your life we will then decide to end our sessions. You will always be welcomed back if you need to revisit our work together or if you encounter a new challenge that you'd like to work on.
Q: How do I know if this is working for me?
A: The best way to know if this is working, is for you to notice yourself in the moment thinking or behaving in the way that you'd like to change. Awareness of ourselves making a mistake precedes the actual behavior change that replaces the mistake. You may say to yourself ""oh no! I'm making that mistake again."" Don't beat yourself up. You're making progress in doing the work by identifying the unhelpful thinking. This is a sign that change is on the horizon.
Q: How often will we meet?
A: Frequency of sessions is determined by each individual's schedule and season. However, it is consistency not frequency that will make the most impact. Meeting weekly allows for us to do the most work. Meeting bi-weekly or after competitions allows for you build up content for us to work on.
