Hello! Sorry for the long delay in sending out a newsletter. I'm Back ... you can't get rid of me that easy!
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying your challenges be they in sports, business, or other highly demanding situations in life. And these are precisely the areas in which sports psychology or mental coaching or success psychology can help. Today, I have outlined the key areas of mental performance. Ask yourself how you are doing in each of these areas and feel free to call any time with a question or if you would like to get more seriously into the mental coaching by phone or in person in my Palm Beach office. 561-596-9898. |
Before we get into the 8 mental skills needed for success, I wanted to share some feedback from my recent sports psychology workshop in Manhattan Beach, California, from the person who invited me:
“Hey John, Thanks again for a great workshop. The feedback I have received has all been positive. Aaron said he used the visualization while running and he said Tony was very excited. The girls I talked to also thought it was quite helpful. Janet told me that she and her partner Bobbie won their match this week. Before going out they discussed your some of your points and also between points. It worked for them. Let’s stay in touch. I could see doing another and using some visualization and video.”

In addition to working hard, you really need to love what you are doing day in and day out. Without passion you might as well hang up your skates. Olli Jokinen is a passionate player who makes it fun and that makes it a lot easier for him on game day and also in tough practices. Mental Coaching is part of the key to that. |

Tracy McGrady showed great resilience in coming back from micro fracture surgery and he also shows it in games in bouncing back from adversity. Mental coaching helped him and can help anyone to bounce back from a difficult situation rather than getting bogged down. |

Raiders coach Tom Flores had a goal to not only get to the promised land, but to win the Super Bowl. He did it twice as a head coach, once as an assitant coach, and once as a player. Setting goals is crucial in mental coaching. |
