Description

For more than 40 years, Dr. Alan Goldberg has been one of the world’s leading voices in teaching coaches how to develop mentally tough, confident, resilient athletes. His work has helped thousands of coaches understand why athletes break down under pressure and, more importantly, how to train the mental side with the same precision as the physical.

Building on this foundation, Sara Vatore contributes leading-edge expertise in nervous system regulation and somatic performance—helping coaches understand not only their athletes’ stress responses, but also how their own body awareness and nervous system understanding can profoundly influence the athletes they lead.

The Coaches Mental Toughness and Peak Performance Training Package gives you the tools, language, and frameworks to build athletes who can stay focused, composed, and competitive—even in the biggest moments. You’ll learn how to coach the mental side of performance, how to prevent athletes from choking under pressure, how to get parents aligned with you, and how to create a training environment where athletes thrive.

If you want athletes who compete the way they practice, bounce back quickly from mistakes, handle adversity, and bring their best selves to competition, this is the foundation.

Whether your athletes struggle with inconsistency, lose against weaker opponents, tighten up under pressure, or get derailed by frustration and self-doubt, this package gives you the tools and frameworks to bring out their best—in practice and in competition.

What You’ll Learn

With the Coaches Mental Toughness and Peak Performance Package, you’ll learn how to:

Coach Both the Mental and Physiological Sides

Train athletes to perform with confidence, focus, and emotional control under pressure
Build mental toughness into daily practices instead of hoping it appears on competition day
Understand the root causes of fear, choking, slumps, inconsistency, and performance blocks

Develop Confident, Resilient Athletes

Strengthen concentration, competitive composure, and bounce-back ability
Coach athletes through nerves, frustration, perfectionism, and fear of failure without triggering overthinking
Help athletes quickly rebound after mistakes and stay mentally engaged

Communicate Like a High-Performance Coach

Use communication that strengthens athletes’ sense of calm, confidence, and competitive steadiness.
Navigate challenging athlete behaviors and parent dynamics and manage your own body’s responses
Communicate in ways that boost confidence rather than increasing pressure

Build a Supportive, Aligned Environment

Create a team culture grounded in trust, resilience, and peak-performance principles
Work effectively with parents so they support—not sabotage, your training
Get parents to work with you, not against you, and reduce sideline stress

The Bottom Line

Every sport is mental—and so is coaching.

The General Coaches Package gives you the knowledge and strategies to develop mentally tough athletes, build a resilient team culture, and communicate in ways that strengthen confidence and consistency.

This is how you help your athlete develop the mind of a champion, in any sport, at any level.

Though the materials included aren’t sport-specific, coaches across every sport consistently rave about how powerfully it improves mental toughness, confidence, and competitive consistency.

Testimonials

I am a high school coach and 14 Steps not only helped my team perform better under pressure, it helped my 17-year-old daughter who’s a three-sport athlete. She used to think too much and get far too nervous. Now she performs the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively! Thanks

Gail

Dr. G, I just finished reading “This is Your Brain On Sports” and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

A real breakthrough book for athletes! I was able to use the tools with my clients and the results were spectacular. I would highly recommend this book and its’ techniques to all practitioners and I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Amazon reviewer

As a former athlete and current coach this book has opened my eyes to performance problems. The authors have found a new approach to understanding and treating the most unreachable athletes. I suggest this book for any counselor, coach, teacher, parent and or athlete.

Amazon reviewer

I read this book when I was down and out in high school. My father gave me this book and it turned my swimming career around. My Senior year I was able to put the past behind me, swim faster then expected and I also accepted a full scholarship to compete in a Division II program.

Amazon reviewer

An incredibly helpful book. It helped me make sense of my pitching problems and better yet, get rid of them!

Mike Roberts

I’m a tennis player and my 15 year old daughter is a pitcher. She hopes to play D-1 in college. We have both found your Sports Mind book so helpful! I can see a huge difference in her when she’s on the mound! She’s much more composed and she talks about your strategies all of the time!

Robert

I’ve been using your audio program for years with my archers with great success, and I have to tell you, your new workbook is excellent! It makes the entire program that much more effective and. I especially like your discussion of how the different parts of our brain affect performance!

Dan

I was listening to your “Parents” audio and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. You teach parents how to help kids roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! Such a great audio!

Wesley

Your ‘Sports Mind Workbook‘ is a winner! I have been using it with both my boys (football and basketball players) and the results have been great. You present mental training in an easy to understand way and my boys really understand where their head should be to play well!

Roger

This is a GREAT tool to use with sport parents. The parents on my soccer team listened to it in one of our meetings. Your humor makes parents willing to listen to all the things they’ve been doing wrong and what they need to do to change without getting defensive. Bless you.

Ray B

I love your book! Parents on my team were driving me nuts and making me really angry, getting in the way of me doing a decent job of coaching. It helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me. I feel like I have a much better understanding of how to work together!

John B

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

My coaching staff listened to Getting Parents to Work With You and put into practice some of your parent guidelines. We also led a parent workshop and as a result, not only are parents enjoying closer relationships with their kids, but the kids are enjoying themselves again!

Tim

Your program not only helped my team play better under pressure, it significantly helped my 17 year old daughter who’s a three sport athlete!

Gail

Dr. G, You did a GREAT job with 14 Steps. I can’t tell you how much it has helped me relax and focus! My congrats and sincere thanks.

Gianluca

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to Mental Toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful!

Michael

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S.

I’ve been coaching 20 years and this is one of the most versatile mental toughness training sets I’ve run across. It’s loaded with great exercises and stories that really work. I strongly recommend it to all my athletes.

Dennis

What I REALLY like about your book series are that you teach athletes how to stay calm under pressure, relax the nights before big competitions and how to use visualization to improve performance. My kids love doing the exercises although they chuckle at your accent!
