What is Performance Coaching?


Success in athletics takes so much more then a perfect swing, jump shot, pass, or serve.  The best athletes understand mental preparation is key to performing at their highest level. So, whether you're an everyday player looking to drop a few strokes or a serious athlete looking to take your game to the next level, mental conditioning and performance coaching will get you where you want to be.  

Why are some athletes able to rise to the occasion while others seem to have a tendency to fall short?  The difference is so much more than technique. Athletes who are able to rise to the occasion do so because they are mentally and emotionally prepared to succeed. Mental conditioning is just as important, if not more important, then physical conditioning and skills training. A select number of athletes have a natural ability to “find their zone.” However, this is not the norm.


Performance coaching is designed to assist athletes reach their full potential  mentally and emotionally so they can perform their best physically.  During a performance coaching session the athlete will develop the skills to:

  • Control stress an anxiety levels before and during competition
  • Build a tolerance for performance related pain and fatigue
  • Maintain focus and concentration
  •  Develop goals and the means to achieve them
  • Enter competition confident and mentally prepared
  • Improve and sustain self-esteem
  • Increase problem solving skills
  • Maintain a positive outlook and competitive edge
