Mindful Sports Performance Coaching

 

How A Mindful Sports Performance Coach Helps You ….
                                                             

We are used to living in action mode with thinking and doing. Mindfulness training (for on and off the court/field) unlocks a new more powerful mode of noticing, observing, and being.

 

How A Mindful Sports Performance Coach Helps You, the student athlete, parent, or professional ….

 

A mindful Sports Performance/Mental Skills coach is a trained and certified professional who helps you achieve your goals of engaging & excelling at a high level in your personal, athletic, and professional life. They are skilled in mindfulness, mental performance & neuroscientific/positive psychology principles. 

 

A Mindfulness practitioner is skilled in the art of living “In the Moment” offering strategies for awareness of thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and surroundings, while staying grounded in the face of challenge, stress, worry, fear, & anxiety from sports, school, and life.  

 

A mindful sports performance/mental skills coach trained in mindfulness offers you the best of both worlds… strategies for remaining grounded in the face of everyday life, family, sports, and school/career stress and anxiety all the while opening you up to the latest in brain science and a new larger perspective where you become more curious, and start better connecting and aligning to your own unique inner insight and wisdom.

As your mindfulness coach, I HELP YOU CREATE A MORE CONDUCIVE MINDSET TO GETTING INTO THE ZONE WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING AND COMPETING IN YOUR SPORT OF CHOICE. 

 Being in the zone, as it relates to athletics, is being in a place where you’re playing a sport at such a high level of skill and focus that everything automatically flows, and you’re in tune with your mind and body. Very little thinking occurs in flow. You are more fully trusting your training and allowing yourself the space to play your best.

HOW TO GET AND STAY IN THE ZONE

  • when you are actively engaged in something you enjoy
  • when you have a solid skill set in your activity that is balanced with the perceived challenge
  • when your concentration is more completely on the activity rather than being distracted
  • when there is clarity of goals
  • when the experience itself is more intrinsically rewarding
  • when you have a feeling of control over the task
  • when you aren’t concerned with time
  • when you are more curious and positive
  • when you’re mindful (THIS IS A KEY CATALYST)

I will also help you/your team/athletes clarify what you all want to accomplish, set specific goals, and make an effective action plan.  I provide you with support, structure, perspective, mindful awareness, and strategies and tools as we move through the coaching process together. 

I am your best cheerleader!  My job also is to hold you/your athletes/team accountable for making progress towards meeting your goals and seeing you enhance performance, connection, and better cope with and prevent stress.

Mindfulness is simply paying attention, on purpose, to our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surroundings without criticism and judgment in as many moments as possible.  It is noticing with more curiosity and kindness and then consciously choosing our behavior/action. It is noticing while you “Have your own back.”

A few of the key questions we will explore are Where am I at?  What do I want/need?  What does the situation need?  What are you noticing?  What are you doing, experiencing, and being with what you are noticing?   In other words, it's a lot about Awareness, Intention, Attention, and Choice (Action) with Insight.
