Athletic Team Coaching
Unlock your team's full potential with customized coaching that enhances performance, builds cohesion, and fosters a winning mindset. Our program focuses on developing mental resilience, effective communication, and strategic goal-setting to ensure your athletes thrive both on and off the field.
Athletics is adversity
Athletic competition itself is a form of adversity. Regardless of their final record, no team finishes a season having not faced challenges. Good coaches design practices to prepare their athletes for the onslaught of physical and mental challenges that their teams will need to overcome. Mental Mettle Team Coaching will help athletes and teams increase their mental toughness and a positive mindset. Just as wind sprints and weight training will prepare a team for performing well while physically fatigued, this team coaching will prepare a team when they become mentally fatigued.
Team Coaching Topics
Live Your "100"
In this introductory session, I share my story to inspire young athletes to learn to control what they can and strive to improve each day. This session will introduce them to coaching but they will have much less participation than in other sessions.
Turning dreams into habits
Players will learn to use their current dreams as motivation for developing daily habits that will result in confidence and eventually success.
Mindset
Players will learn to identify their current mindset, fixed or growth, and learn to make positive adjustments for improvement.
Experiential Learning
In this session players will focus on the values behind past positive experiences. After recalling a past experience they will share positive memories in order to find commonalities throughout the team.
The 2 wolves
Players will analyze and discuss the positive and negative voices we all hear. Upon recognizing the driving forces behind those voices players will discuss and learn how to control which voices they focus on.
Developing an attitude for gratitude
Players will learn the advantages of developing a lifestyle of gratitude.
Team Toxins
In this session, players will learn to understand and combat the attitudes and personality traits that will arise, and possibly harm a team, during competition.
Handle your business
Players will discuss all that has been learned and be challenged to take ownership of their own abilities and responsibilities.
