Pro Athletes Utilize Mental Performance Training

Attention Athletes! And Parents of Athletes! Mental performance training gives you the edge. Are you ready for college scouts? Are you performing to the best of our ability or are you looking to tap into your true potential?

The Chicago Cubs went to the World Series this year for the first time in 71 years! And they WON!! Coincidence? We think not!  We specialize in cutting edge science because it works!

Breathing is a big part of Mental Performance. Taken for granted by most of us, it regulates our physiology, movement and our postural system. Wisdom knows this and David Ross didn't just give good advice to his teammate, he backed it up with his performance. Ross entered the game in the bottom of the inning and hit a HOME RUN over center field that sailed over the fence.

Smart Teams are formulating strategies to amplify performance. This includes heavily investing in systematic mental performance training as part of their quest to win, grow young players and stay the course to be able to perform when the pressure and competition is the greatest. 

Help your Team optimize mindset and breathe for performance like the new World Champion Cubs.  Learn more about our services and if you are a coach interested in Team Training contact us and we can put together a customizable skills program for you and your team!

How are you managing your body's response to stress?

"Chris, a 45-year-old business executive, had a family history of heart disease, and was feeling extremely stressed, fatigued, and generally in poor emotional health. A 24-hour heart rate variability analysis revealed abnormally depressed activity in both branches of his autonomic nervous system, suggesting autonomic exhaustion ensuing from maladaptation to high stress levels.

His heart rate variability was far lower then would be expected for his age, and was below the clinical cut-off level for significantly increased risk of sudden cardiac death.

In addition, Chris’s average heart rate was abnormally high at 102 beats per minute, and his heart rate did not drop at night as it should. Upon reviewing these results, his physician concluded that it was imperative that Chris take measures to reduce his stress."  

The Doctor recommended healthy alternative options to help Chris improve his psychophysiological coherence. Like the techniques Chris used in this prologue* we too specialize in helping the body regulate the autonomic nervous system through manual techniques, massage, breath work, education, and mental performance training.

Many try and fail. What are you willing to do to earn this honor of competing for entry into the warrior group?” Sloan knew that it would take many years and many hours of training to become a warrior.
