FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you work with any sports besides baseball and golf?
Yes. Pressure is pressure and if you have the skills, ability and experience, then I can help you overcome obstacles and improve your performance in any sport.
Do you work with pressure issues in entertainment?
Yes. Again, pressure is pressure. I've helped actors, dancers, singers and writers overcome mental blocks and do their best under pressure, whether in auditions or in performances.
Do you work with students for learning and tests?
Yes. I've helped lots of students of all ages learn faster, retain more and do better on tests, including the SAT, GRE, real estate, insurance and finance exams, court reporting and the BAR.
Will The Mental Coach's services work for me?
I can help anyone overcome what's holding them back. What's required is that you want to succeed - that you want to win. That's why everyone starts with a consultation. I'll only work with you if I know I can succeed, since I guarantee my services.
Why do you use tools? To get the job done. Why do I use this tool called hypnosis? To get the job done fast. Why is that? It's the best tool to help someone tap into the imagination part of their brain to get rid of mental blocks, quickly. If, of course, you're an expert at using hypnosis, which I am.
There are a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis, from sensational movies, books and the guy at the fair. The fact is, they are all wrong. The real truth is, hypnosis is a natural state of mind we all experience every day.
Have you ever had an emotional reaction reading a novel or watching a movie?
Then you've hypnotized yourself.
Analytically, you know novels and movies aren't real. But, you allowed yourself to believe as if they were real, resulting in a change in brain chemistry - creating electrochemical changes, releasing hormones, increasing heart rate and respiration, maybe a cold sweat or tears, from something you analytically know is fake.
That's the power of the imagination and that's what we use together to solve your problem fast.
People always ask me if you can be controlled with hypnosis, like it is some strange and mysterious power. Well, if that were true, then I'd be writing this on the beach in the Bahamas and, by the way, I'd OWN the Bahamas!
The fact is, in this state of mind we call hypnosis, you are always awake, aware and in control. You do what you want and you say what you want, because you are always in control.
Do we have to work in-person, one-on-one?
If you are serious about overcoming what's holding you back and getting peak performance on demand and the competitive edge, then working in-person, one-on-one is the only way to get those powerful results, quickly. That's why I don't have a business selling cd's or dvd's, work over the telephone, or only give workshops or seminars.
I know that's not going to get you the results you want.
Think of yourself like a hand-built race car. The complimentary sports presentations I offer are basic tune-ups (like changing the oil and putting in a new air cleaner). That will help you do better in competition.
BUT, if you have a problem with the mental game or you want to bring out more of your potential in competition, if you want peak performance, then what you need is a power tune or an engine rebuild, customized to your individual needs, to solve your problem so you get the highest performance possible.
That's what you get working in-person, one-on-one. Fast results, guaranteed. It's the only way and that's how I can guarantee my services.
How do I get started?
With my needs assessment process, the first step is to talk briefly so I can get an idea if I can help you. If so, at that point we'll schedule a consultation. I'll send you my Mental Game worksheets to fill out and send back to me before your consultation.
What happens in my consultation?
In our consultation, usually around an hour, we'll talk, in much more detail, about what's happening now and what you want to accomplish. Then, I will know about how long it will take for me to solve your problem and I can give you an estimate for achieving your goal.
How long, how many?
What I do is about solutions, not sessions, and what I offer is a premium service, focused on fast results that last.
That's why my mental coaching sessions are longer - 90 minutes in length - sometimes more. It's about getting you results, not watching the clock. How many and how often depends on each situation.
Remember, my five-step Mental Coaching Method lets me solve your problem with the mental game in usually three-to-five sessions with a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee.
My Peak Performance Program goes throughout the season (or longer) - it's for players who are serious about consistently doing their best under pressure in competition.
My Curing the Yips Program is a premium service and will transform your putting game in seven days.
Do I need to come back?
Once a specific problem is solved, it's solved. That's the power of the work I do.
But, does a racing car just get one tune-up at the start of the racing season?
If you are serious about staying at the top of your game, you'll discover that periodic tune-ups (or as-needed fixes) are the secret to keeping that competitive edge. That's my Peak Performance Program and it will keep you at the top of your game.
Is The Mental Coach a sports psychologist?
I'm very different. What I do is based on how the brain is wired - with an analytical part and an imagination part.
Sports psychology is mostly about solving problems and improving performance using the analytical, thinking part of your brain. If doing that is getting the results you want, than that's great and you don't need me.
But, if you aren't getting the results you want, if you still have a problem, if you believe there is untapped potential inside of you, than my approach is what you need.
What I does that's different is that I work ONLY with the imagination part of your brain to get rid of what's holding you back and bring out your potential under pressure in competition. Using my hypnosis-based tools are the best way to do that, if you want fast results.
For what I do, for the results I get and how quickly I get them, sports psychology is too slow.
That's why I use hypnosis and other mental training tools, they are so powerful that I get fast results and I can guarantee it.
But, I'm skeptical. Does this hypnosis/mental game stuff really work?
Ask yourself this question - what if it really does work?
What would that do for your career and your life?
I can't make anyone succeed. But if you have it inside you, I can help you bring it out.
Please understand, I offer a premium service and it's not right for everyone. In fact, I don't work with everyone. But if I do work with you, I'll bring out more of what's inside you than maybe you ever have had before (or get it back).
You'll get fast results and I'll guarantee it.
If that's not enough, then I suggest you take a good, hard look at yourself and your level of commitment to your sport.
Not everyone is cut out to be great in their sport, to be a winner, and that's OK.
The next move is up to you.
What are your credentials?
The Mental Coach's credentials are his results and his guarantee. What else do you want? In the world of competition, results are what matters. What matters to you?
What if I don't want my competition to know how I suddenly improved?
All of my services are absolutely confidential. That's why my sports testimonials are anonymous, confidentiality is the name of the game.
Do you teach sports skills?
The Mental Coach does MENTAL coaching. Your sports coach, trainer, PGA or LPGA Professional is the best at teaching you the skills you need to excel. I help you successfully use those skills under pressure.
Do you work with children?
YES. Children have the same kinds of pressure problems in sports as adults, as well as problems uniquely their own. I help motivated and committed children, 12-18 years of age, increase confidence, motivation and focus in their sport so they can do their best under pressure in competition.
Are your services confidential?
The Mental Coach's policy is absolute confidentiality. Period.
