“It was overall an awesome season with Kyle. His sessions helped me break through some mental barriers I had before and reach my goals. What stood out to me the most was how Kyle was always there for me throughout the whole season.”
“The benefit of what we have been working on with our mental performance program has been great. As I’ve been reflecting this past couple weeks, I’ve come to realize just how much I have grown as an athlete in terms of internalizing the process and managing stressful events. There is so much value in training the mind. Thank you for helping me become the best athlete I can be. I am truly grateful for the time you continue to invest in my development to help me become the best person/athlete I can be.”
It’s back!!! The annual #mentalskills advent calendar is here. Take some time to dig into your process this holiday season. The more awareness we create in our #bestversion the more available it will be for us in stress. Prepare that emotional system.
Thank you @dcozz19 and @noah.chadwick8 for taking the time last night to discuss your journey and application of #performancepsychology to your development path. A lot of thoughts on process but a few of my favorites on creating mentality include:
-a competitor turns their 5 to a 6
-visualization is key for my preparation, to manage emotions I need to see myself and my best version as much as I can
-the process of acknowledging aspects that hold me back did not happen overnight, you learn to manage those setbacks by putting the tools in place
-stress is never going anywhere, managing it is the art of being a human
-my cues eliminate the extra need for thought; I built my identity and I know my strengths that allow me to keep my job
-journaling changes the way I think, the more I write about it the better version of myself I create.

Great athlete #preparation session last night. Discussion around the art of developing mentality to be your #bestversion #mentalperformance #athletedevelopment
Great start last night to our Athlete Prep Sessions. Our first conversation revolved around #emotionalintelligence and #mindset. It’s important to prepare and invest into our best versions via reflecting on our inner experiences. Great group to work with. #digdeep Athlete Prep Session #1 Summary
Mental Performance Philosophy: Here we discussed my beliefs, values, principles, and strategies that guide an individual’s approach to optimizing mental abilities, such as focus, resilience, and problem-solving skills.
Emotional Intelligence and Importance to Mindset (Self-Awareness and Self-Control): Here we discussed how Emotional intelligence (EI) involves the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own emotions. It is crucial to mindset because it contributes to self-awareness (understanding one’s emotions, strengths, weaknesses) and self-control (managing impulses, emotions, and reactions).
Emotional Intelligence Case Studies: Here we reviewed Bob (20 Yr Old Male Athlete) and Danielle (17 Yr Old Female Athlete). The concept of reviewing these athletes revolved around guiding constructive conversations for their development. This was an example of applying EI theory to development. These are real-life examples or scenarios that illustrate how emotional intelligence can impact various aspects of personal and professional life, such as leadership, teamwork, and decision-making.
Self-Awareness and Self-Control Structure Activity: We briefly discussed this activity and I would encourage you to complete the last two pages for reflection. The activity aims to promote personal growth and improved emotional management.
Preparation Session: We will start here on the 22nd. I will run through a preparation session taking into consideration our reflections etc.
Some great components to the process of the mental performance field and how it can be developed into a daily training environment. https://theathletic.com/5359534/2024/03/28/football-mental-coaching/?source=user_shared_article How mental performance coaching is transforming elite football
