NORTH PALM BEACH, FL, Aug. 24, 2020 -- America's most quoted sports psychologist Dr. John F. Murray, dubbed "The King of Sports Brains” in 2020 by Sports Illustrated, and “The Freud of Football" by the Washington Post, has launched a new website at FootballShrink.com. This site (described below) documents all Dr. Murray’s prognostication activities using an algorithm based on 40 years of past NFL data and his patented Mental Performance Index, bringing prediction to the highest level to date.
Murray's book, "The Mental Performance Index: Ranking the Best Teams in Super Bowl History" about his mental statistic and the Super Bowl was highly endorsed with a forward by 4-time Super Bowl Champion and Raiders Coach Tom Flores, epilogue by football hall of fame inductee Lesley Visser, and cover endorsements and quotes by many including Don Shula and Steve Sabol of NFL Films. "The big lesson, said Murray, was that mental performance is the biggest factor in winning, so coaches and teams need to measure team mental performance better and train players in these areas.”
Dr. Murray works with elite athletes and teams in his private practice including NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL athletes as well as junior athletes and business executives to enhance performance and well-being. He helped inspire the biggest comeback in tennis history on the ATP Tour and is also author of the book "Smart Tennis: How to Play and Win the Mental Game.”
To show how important the mental game is success, Murray converted the MPI he invented into an algorithm to make NFL predictions. "Since the mental game is so vital, stated Murray, having a tool to capture that, and then using it to make extremely accurate predictions confirms how huge mental performance is to success." In addition to winning the World Series of Handicapping last season, Murray cashed and placed 3rd in the RX LV Hilton Style NFL Super Contest (50-34-1, 60%), and 5th in the world in NFL picks at the Sports Watch Monitor website (52-34, 60.50%). The Sports Watch Monitor documents the world's best handicappers, adding honesty and integrity to predictions.
While many seek out Dr. Murray’s NFL predictions, this was not the intent of the MPI. “I’ve shown empirically that by evaluating mental performance, such an important but often ignored part of the game, I get better data on games than most, and with this better data come better predictions. The success of this venture is a validation for sports psychology and how crucial it is to understand and train mental skills in anything to have success.”
“The new website at FootballShrink.com is a vast improvement over last year’s version,” said Murray. “The entire look is different with a fresh red, white and blue logo, better font and color scheme, a section documenting every pick made, a ticker showing recent picks, articles on football prediction, a blog for recent activities, and a news feed pulling in breaking NFL info for upcoming games. Users can also sign up for a free newsletter to get free weekly picks just providing a name and email address.
While this site is currently focused on football, Dr. Murray plans to add a page soon that allows users to look into the predictions in other sports too.
