My AccountThroughout my professional career as a counselor, professor, media spokesperson, and researcher in the field of sport, exercise, & health psychology, I have studied the variables most closely linked to “peak performers,” as well as the common factors that regularly hold us back from reaching our full human potential. From these experiences, I have created an entire high performance product line designed to help athletes, coaches, and parents (as well as people not directly involved in competitive sports) maximize their productivity, while simultaneously minimizing their level of negative stress.
Whether you are an elite-level athlete, sports parent, coach, or league/school administrator, we offer peak performance training in a variety of convenient formats, including video streaming options, audio files, traditional and e-books, and apps. All educational programming is designed to be easy to understand and implement, and lead to tangible, positive future results.
In addition to teaching athletes how to maximize their athletic abilities, another primary focus of my work is to help make youth and interscholastic sports a safe, fun, and meaningful environment for kids. Consequently, I continue to study the important psycho-social variables and contemporary issues and trends that have the most impact on student athletes, coaches, and parents. I place a strong emphasis on life skills development through sports, and encourage all athletes to use the sport experience as a vehicle for success in life. In order to do this, I teach athletes to identify and use athletic transferable skills, as well as how to lead healthy lives through safe training methods.
