The Mind Body Connection To be at Your Best Every Time

“Coaching is unlocking people’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” Sir John Whitmore

Learn how to think and behave to perform at your best all the time.

If you are committed to improving your game, on or off the court, then mastering the mental game is critical.

Coaching aims to create this mastery based totally around what your preferred outcomes are.

The difference between success and lack of success, (physical skill set aside) comes down to the way you respond to pressure.

Pressure is a very personal experience, that can be tied to the reality you are creating and experiencing in any given moment.

A large part of Performance Coaching is learning how to accept the reality of the situation. It's tough to do anything but just exist when you are accepting of any situation.

An example of this is, right here and now you are not better than this, so the thought “I should be performing better than this” is not true, at this very moment.
This is the beginning of becoming aware and listening to the self-talk and thus living in the "Present"...now we begin.

Learning from each other

It is often (wrongly) assumed that the partnership between a coach and Client is top-down. This is the refreshing part of Coaching, working collaboratively together to create insights and growth.

A successful partnership is one where both parties work together, communicate effectively and have a solid relationship that encourages openness, trust and respect. Therefore, the Coach-Client partnership should be viewed as a symbiotic relationship, whereby both parties are constantly learning and evolving from each other.

Because coaching is a social activity, it can even be more enjoyable to learn in partnership in this way. The authenticity of this way of learning is said to be far lasting than other forms of helping practices.

Self-Talk (Interference)

The next time you notice yourself creating thoughts like “That was a great speech” or “that was a really bad shot” or “I really nailed that meeting.”
Stop and observe yourself as you begin to understand that you are allowing your mind to take you on the rollercoaster of unsubstantiated judgement.

What would the affect be on your professional life or sport if you could leave the judgement behind and replace this with belief in your abilities, calmness and focus?

This is the “sweet spot”, where happiness, challenge, focus, and flow exist.

Coaching vs Other Helping Practices

"Coaching isn't therapy. It's product development, with you as the product." Fast Company

Which is right for me?

Performance Coaching and therapy are both wonderful tools for personal development. But like every tool, there are benefits as well as limitations. While there may be some overlap between the two, in that they help you understand yourself better, and both have therapeutic potential, they do differ in both their focus and their approach. Of course, not all therapists are the same, and neither are all Performance coaches. Ultimately, the success of a modality will come down to the skill, dedication and care of the practitioner. If you would like to take your life to the next level and make positive changes, then Performance coaching is for you.
