MENTAL TRAINING<br />
I train mindset extensively and I coach<br />
and lecture on the topic of mindset.<br />
It’s an enormous, fascinating subject<br />
and represents a frontier of athletic<br />
achievement that is still largely<br />
untapped. There are many directions<br />
it can go, but is most successful<br />
when we start at “the beginning”. For<br />
example, one of the things I am most<br />
frequently called upon to do is conduct<br />
team workshops. These are done in<br />
a group setting and are primarily<br />
designed to help a team and their<br />
coaching staff develop a functional<br />
framework for mental training and a<br />
common language to work within that<br />
framework. So many of the terms that<br />
people associate with mental training<br />
such as “visualization” or “imagery”<br />
don’t really have a common frame<br />
of reference. Establishing tangible<br />
performance parameters around the<br />
methodologies of mental training goes<br />
a long way towards making people<br />
more successful with it.<br />
THE FUTURE<br />
Professionally speaking, I am looking<br />
to expand my presence so that I can<br />
help more people get more out of their<br />
training and their lives. This means<br />
more speaking, more teaching and<br />
more writing. Personally, I have a few<br />
more world records and extreme stunts<br />
I’d like to accomplish. But all of those<br />
things really blend together in my<br />
mind. Whether it’s through teaching or<br />
encouraging, I want to continue to find<br />
more and better ways to help people.<br />
