Train

“A positive mindset can build a positive physical and mental structure for an amazing life.” ― Hormuzd Dossabhoy

 

 “The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.” – Steve Young

This phase of training is dedicated to exploring, learning, developing, and honing the evidenced-based attributes and skills that underlie success in sport and life. Training topics include values, character strengths, optimism, perspective, attitude, coachability, emotional intelligence, motivation, readiness, and many more.

TRANSFORM

The most important attribute a player must have is mental toughness. ~Mia Hamm

 

 “Mental toughness is a skill, not a talent or a gift of nature. It is learned and developed.”   ~Karl Kuehl

In this phase of training, athletes will learn, practice, and deploy various research-approved mental toughness strategies and techniques. Participants will TRANSFORM numerous high-performance states such as control, confidence, commitment, cohesion, and many more. Doing so will inevitably lead to greater satisfaction, better production, and more success.

TRANSCEND

“Don’t use your energy to worry, use your energy to believe, trust, grow, and heal.” - Unknown

 

“The challenge is not to be perfect—it is to be whole. - Jane Fonda

Transcending performance is about expanding one’s unlimited or unrealized potential. Participants will learn to recognize and relinquish unhealthy mental qualities and to practice approaches that are geared toward building more insight, mindfulness, equanimity, harmony, joy, and wisdom. Topics include empowerment, connection, gratitude, communication, inspiration, mindfulness, compassion, and selfless service.
