Mental fitness in a team or club setting embodies not only the individual components of the roster, but integrating and empowering a movement in dynamic culture. It’s a structured process aimed at enhancing the collective mental resilience, performance, and well-being of the group.

​

The Process for Integrating a Program 
 

1. Initial Assessment:

An initial assessment to understand the team's dynamics, goals, and challenges.

Individual interviews with team members may be conducted to gather insights into their mental states, strengths, and areas for improvement.

​

2. Team Workshop or Seminar:

A workshop or seminar is organized to introduce mental conditioning concepts and their relevance to team dynamics.

Key principles are introduced such as goal setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and stress management to name a few. Based on these outcomes …This leads to customized Mental Training Plans:

These plans may include individual and group exercises to address specific areas identified during the assessment.

​

3. Regular Group Sessions:

The team engages in regular group sessions led by the mental conditioning coach. IN PERSON

Sessions may cover topics like team communication, building a positive team culture, and strategies for handling pressure situations.

​

4. Individual Coaching Sessions:

Team members may have one-on-one coaching sessions to address personal mental challenges and goals.

This allows for personalized attention and support tailored to each individual's needs.

​

5. Integration with Physical Training:

Mental conditioning is seamlessly integrated with physical training routines to reinforce the mind-body connection. 

​

What is Sport Psychology?

The scientific study of people and their behaviours in sport/exercise activities and the practical application of that knowledge. Simply put. 

 

Cause and Effect Principle: 

Specifically the effects of Psychological Factors on physical or motor performance. “What happened? You trained so hard?” A: my head just wasn’t in it.” Sound familiar?

I’m talking about the anxiety’s effecting accuracy of a shot, efficiency of performance, ultimately a persons flow state. Thus, effecting self-confidence, in some cases team-cohesion. How does imagery and visualization facilitate recovery, performance, or rehab in injured athletes?

Learn the various methodologies and tools of psychological skills training to avoid mental collapse in peak moments. 

​

6. Progress Evaluation:

Regular assessments and feedback sessions are conducted to evaluate the team's progress.

Adjustments to the mental training plans are made based on the team's evolving needs and achievements.

​

7. Performance Analysis and Reflection:

Just like any of your other coaches, this synergy is synced with your team members, and culture. This is how we fill the gaps. The coaches (head coach, S&C coach, mental coach) works with the team to analyze performance, identifying areas of success and areas for improvement.

Reflective exercises help team members understand the impact of their mental conditioning on their overall performance. Just like watching game tape. 

​

8. Ongoing Support:

With ongoing support, and ensuring that the team continues to apply and refine mental skills in their daily practices – I am in your corner. On the go consultations are normal to address emerging challenges or opportunities.

 

Celebrating Success:

Sorry, but I’m an optimistic neutral thinker (and you will be too), I celebrate little wins… often! 

Successes, both individual and collective, are celebrated to reinforce positive behaviors and achievements.
