This site is for every athlete and coach who knows that winning is the best thing in life.
Okay, love and money are pretty great too. But winning is right up there.
The purpose of this site is to teach you how to win by being more mentally tough than everyone else.
You don’t have to be the most skilled athlete in your sport. Yes, you do need some fundamentals,
but using the power of your mind you can dramatically improve your skills too.
How did this site happen?
I’m an athlete too (in the Canadian ice sport of ringette, similar to ice hockey).
That’s me on the ice
and hugging the World Championship trophy.
I love my sport, but for the first 14 years of competing I was what you’d call a mental marshmallow.
I had wild confidence swings from one game to the next. I never knew why, and it hurt me all the time.
Even when I prepared with 100% intensity, I’d often find a way to choke in big events.
Other times, I’d start out totally confident, only to face problem after problem
such as a poor start, an opponent who was on fire, or bad officiating.
My worst moment was losing the National Championship in 1991 with one second left on the clock.
Fortunately, I was a very stubborn athlete, obsessed with finding the answer.
After years of choking too often, I decided to do something about it and embarked on a mission to find answers.
These answers didn’t come overnight.
I did all the traditional sports psychology stuff (some of it was great, but some of wasn’t…and actually made me WORSE).
I threw out the ideas that didn’t work and spent several years researching and testing new (even radical) mental toughness strategies on myself and other National Team and Olympic athletes in Canada.
My stubbornness paid off.
Through trial and error, I discovered mental toughness secrets I never would have thought about winning under pressure — even things that went against traditional sports psychology.
These are secrets that only superstar athletes have figured out and jealously guard from their competitors (not something a guy with a PhD read in a book).
These secrets transformed my life as an athlete forever.
By learning how to psyche up and infuse myself with unstoppable confidence before championship finals, I scored the winning goals in the dying minutes of three world championships.
If you learn the missing pieces of sport psychology that only superstar athletes know, you can start WINNING consistently in your sport.
You can learn these secrets at any age. Even if you are beginner in your sport you can use them to catapult your skill development and climb the ranks of your sport.
