About The Mental Coach

My passion is helping you succeed, to do your best under pressure

My experience in sports competition, the medical field and business world gives me a unique perspective on pressure and the mental game.

Studying and using mental training tools for over 30 years gave me a foundation of tools to work with.

I used those experiences to create a system to solve problems with pressure, especially in competition. Whether a problem is with sports, business, health or performing arts, the commonality is our reaction to pressure - which is learned (which usually is expressed as anger, fear, pain or guilt). Mental training tools are the best way let those negative emotions or experiences go and change that reaction to pressure.

My system focuses on customized solutions, using those powerful mental training tools, to get fast results that last, usually in three-to-five sessions.

Learning about the mental game

Serving as a Navy Medical Corpsman in a Naval Hospital Emergency Room made me a believer in the mind/body connection. Those powerful experiences helped me understand that there is more to coping, and thriving, under pressure than what a person thinks.

I learned that the power of expectation and imagination can bring a person soaring up to their potential or send them spiraling down to disaster. This started my learning about mind/body tools.

A motorcycle accident in my 20's left me with a damaged body and chronic pain, with a medical prognosis of just getting worse as I got older. I used my medical experiences as a reality check of human potential, which led me to learning that I could use mental training tools to turn down the pain.

That was such a powerful experience that I kept learning more and more of those tools to see what else the power of the mind could do.

Problem-solving through education, training and experience

In college, I combined studying the external (physical sciences) with the internal (psychology, human communication) so I could have a more in-depth understanding of human potential.

In the business world, I learned, and used, many different analytical problem-solving systems in a variety of industries.

This education, training and experience helped me understand the difference between thinking about problems and reacting to pressure. This led me to create my problem-solving solutions for succeeding under pressure, especially in competition.
