Testimonials

Alan, What I REALLY like about your programs is that you take athletes through the exercises and personally teach them 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 relaxation exercises although they sometimes chuckle at your extreme Boston accent!” Thanks for a great training tool!

Ed

A real breakthrough book for athletes! … I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! … The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. … I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Amazon Reviewer

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

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

I just love your new 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. This book has helped me get things in perspective and to recruit my parents to help me! I feel like I now have a much better understanding of where they’re coming from and how to effectively work with them. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t quit coaching after all!

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.

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.

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

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.

Dr. G, I play on the O line and I have been afraid to hit for 2 years. I go into games too nervous and it makes me play stiff and slow. Your 14 Steps audio’s and football workbook have made all the difference in the world. Now I know what I was doing wrong and have been able to calm myself and focus on my assignment. I am no longer the weak link on the line, and get excited when I know the play is coming around my side!

Finally a mental toughness book I can understand and use. (Using Your Head… Football). I play quarterback and when I messed up, I’d get really down on myself. Your book helped me play with confidence and quickly let go of my mistakes. Plus, I feel like I now know how to really focus.

Bill H

I play high school football and I get too nervous before the big games and important plays. I read, (Using Your Head…Football) and my coaches can see the difference already. I don’t psych myself out anymore and have gotten really good at letting my mistakes go. Thanks so much!

Billy is starting his first varsity game as a Quarterback tonight. Your audios have transformed him! He used to be a mental mess whenever he played . Now he looks relaxed and confident. He never gets emotional on the field anymore, he is steady and reliable and has a quiet confidence.

Chuck

Years ago I was really struggling and got ahold of your football program. I was a quarterback and had zero confidence. Your audios helped me open the door to my mind and the possibilities that it had inside. Your mental exercises are amazing and now I am playing like I know I can.
