Develop mental toughness in your players using simple & proven methods used by top level coaches, to help teams perform under pressure, win more games which leaves you feeling more fulfilled

Have you ever had a player in your team that:

a) seems to possess all the skills and talent but hides away in big game or trials?

b) has a lot of potential but lacks motivation, confidence or focus?

c) let's their emotions influence their game negatively or lacks consistency?

No matter how much you prepare the athlete in training, as soon as game time comes, everything disappears! Then there's always that consistent and reliable player that delivers time and time again.

It was only when I experienced a breakthrough myself when I realised that: It's not about players having it or not having it... You can teach players how to do this!

Absolutely! I am living proof...

I believe one of the main reasons that I didn't make my national team as a junior at u18 level was not because I wasn't good enough, it was because I lacked BMT (big match temperament) and I often let my emotions of frustration affect me. I would yell at my players, be hard on myself when I made mistakes and get wound up by bad umpiring decisions.

When I was given another opportunity to play hockey for my country 7 years later, I did everything I could to get into the national team and the biggest difference this time was my mindset. That is because I trained my mindset and conditioned my brain to achieve what I wanted and even managed to score an important goal 4 minutes from the end of the game on my debut. I knew that I was going to score because I planned it.

As a coach perhaps you have prepared your players with skills based training, explained the tactical strategy and worked on their physical fitness. But when it comes to game time I am sure you will agree with me how agonising it is to watch your players crumble under pressure and make forced errors that they don't normally make in training. And you feel powerless on the sideline!

Is how to effectively develop mental toughness in your players and teams.

But it’s not your fault. You’ve gone to school, taken coaching courses, but no-one has ever taught you how to impact an athlete's mindset.

Some coaches believe that building mental toughness consists of doing fitness to "kill" players, not giving any water breaks or yelling and screaming at them until they break.

But that is the old school approach to training and there are much better and healthier ways to get the result you want instead of the outdated tough-guy coaching style.

Instead of just having loads of information and getting overwhelmed, there is a step-by-step process that I follow. There are a few key things which you have to put in place first and you have to approach the topic with athletes carefully or they may become defensive and shut you off completely.

Here is an outline of the some of the important steps I take when I work with athletes: 

Every player wants it... but you have to help them unlock it!

Often the best players to have in your team are the one's that tend to buckle under the pressure, because it often means more to them than the players who naturally "pull it off"

Once you know how to help your athletes with this, you will start to get better results because your players will start performing in the big games. What happens when you get results as a coach? You start to get attention and opportunities.

If you want to go further in your coaching to help more people or to coach at a higher level, this can definitely give you an edge over the majority of coaches.

The course is broken down into 8 easy-to-digest modules which are presented by video training. Each week focusses on one module (in order) and you can watch the videos when it suits you from anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter if you get behind but we send you reminder emails to keep you on track and progressing.

Most people have had influential people or coaches who have inspired us and guided us along our journey...

Do you want to be that coach?

This course can help you achieve that by teaching you some of the most fundamental skills, tools and knowledge which will help you to get more out of your players and team. It will take your team and athletes beyond the "average" skills and fitness training that most people do.

Create a huge impact and give people the skills and confidence that they deserve!

- Are you ready to be the coach that is known to inspire and motivate players to become their best?

- Do you want more confident and consistent players in your teams so that your team wins more games?

- Want to become that coach that every team and player wants to play for?

This is a limited opportunity to interact directly with myself and like minded coaches and be a part of the Beyond Skills Coaching Program. I am only looking for a handful of coaches to work with who would like to be a part of creating a new BIG impact in sport. My aim is to make sure that I have answered all your questions by the end of the course. 

This is limited to numbers and is time sensitive so you don't have long to "think about it" so if you are ready to get started then click the button below and let's get going...

What age of players does this apply to?

This program is suitable for coaches, parents or players of any age. I would particularly recommend it to those who coach players over the age of about 10 years (depending on maturity). I have worked with athletes as young as 7 years but the majority of kids under 10 tend to lack concentration and often need additional help comprehending some of the idea's. It has also worked on players up to the age of 55 years (and I am sure older would also work).

What standard of players is this for?

This is for any level of player from beginner to elite. There are no requirements, anyone can see results if they apply these methods.

Does it matter what sport I coach?

No, all the principles in this program apply to all sports. In fact, they translate into life too.

What if it doesn't work?

We guarantee that if you apply everything you learn then it will work. It is proven to work over and over again. You may need to allow some time to put some of the training into practice, but you can keep going back to review the training resources at a later stage.

What about after the 8 week program? 

After joining the program we offer members to the opportunity to join our insiders monthly mastermind group, giving you the opportunity to stay up to date with the latest coaching strategies, discuss and interact with like minded coaches and ask any questions.
