MENTAL EDGE COACHING OPTIONS
While it’s true, the Mental Edge specializes in working with athletes; our work is not limited to the sports realm. We coach parents, individuals, business owners and anyone that is motivated to make real change in their lives!

If you find yourself thinking…I’m intelligent, talented, I hone my skills and take the actions required to get the real results I desire, but I’m still having trouble achieving the results that are most important to me in my life, we will help you discover what is holding you back and how to breakthrough those barriers!

Mental Performance Assessment
At the Mental Edge, we start with The Attentional & Interpersonal Style (TAIS) inventory. TAIS helps us rapidly and accurately gauge your mental strengths and weaknesses. You’ll learn how to play to your strengths and guard against the mental errors that hurt you most under pressure. Then, through an in-depth analysis of your TAIS results, we will identify the building blocks of performance—those factors essential to achieving high-level performance.

Mental Edge Performance Coaching
We work with you one-on-one to target the crucial areas most likely to boost your performance. By keeping to the essentials, we enable you to make real progress at a rapid rate. You’ll receive specific, individualized recommendations for sharpening focus, controlling emotions, working effectively with others, and creating a winning mind-set. During your bi-weekly coaching sessions, you’ll learn principles that are intended to provide you with a strong foundation of core mind skills empowering exceptional performance, as well as, vital life skills important to your life, school, work, family, and peer groups. The Mental Edge specializes in helping you overcome self-defeating thinking, behavior, and the mindset that keeps you stuck in your reality with little or no hope of ever changing. Our intensive coaching will change the direction of your life forever.

“Who’s Got Your Back?” Team Experience 1.0 3 Group Sessions
Every team begins the season with high expectations for the year. Most players have invested in extra training to improve their speed, strength and skills. One overlooked component of success is how players will relate to each other and whether or not these relationships hold them back or propel them towards their goals as a team.

Building relationships with team members requires intentionality and consistency. The “Who’s Got Your Back?” Team Experience is a dynamic experience that challenges players to engage in relationship-building conversations leading members to a sense of connectedness and being understood and known for more than just their skills as an athlete. When this happens, players grow in their understanding of each other leading to enhanced levels of cooperation and stronger team play. Our “Who’s Got Your Back?” Team Experience has received rave reviews and is a cutting-edge program for those looking to intentionally grow a strong sense of team.

MENTAL EDGE ATHLETE CREED

You can NEVER question the fact that an athlete with a more focused mind will produce greater results. Coaches, ranging from the youth level to the Pros, are able to easily identify players who are mentally prepared at any given moment throughout the course of a game or practice. Being mentally prepared and focused are attributes that are commonly overshadowed, however,
will continue to be the determining factor between an elite player and an average player.

In the same respect, every sport takes a certain number of individuals who thrive in their specific role to make the team extraordinary. One less player on a team may seem insignificant, however, it is the determining factor between winning a championship or having to revert back to the old saying, “There’s always next season”. NEVER doubt your role within your team.

Through the evolution of athletics, we have witnessed rule changes, equipment changes, and a quantum leap in physical training regimens. The one thing that has NEVER changed through the years is the importance of being mentally prepared. Having a clear, sharp, prepared, and focused mind will significantly impact your performance. A great athlete will NEVER sacrifice the importance of gaining an elusive mental edge over an opponent. NEVER allow yourself to be THIS opponent.

NEVER underestimate the power within you.
Achieve your dreams today, NEVER tomorrow.
