Description

Martial arts demand an exceptional level of mental discipline, emotional regulation, and competitive composure. As a coach, you see firsthand how quickly fear, hesitation, overthinking, or frustration can derail even your most technically skilled athletes —especially in sparring, belt tests, and tournaments.

Over more than 40 years, Dr. G has helped martial artists from beginners to elite competitors break through performance fears, overcome slumps, rebound from setbacks, and perform with calm, focus, and confidence. (And, he holds a First Degree Black Belt in Shurin Ryu Karate!)

His work, combined with Sara Vatore’s expertise in nervous system regulation and somatic performance, gives coaches a complete, modern framework for understanding why athletes shut down under pressure and what actually builds long-term competitive resilience.

The Martial Arts Coaches Package gives you a clear, practical mental training system you can integrate into your teaching immediately. You’ll learn how to coach athletes through fear cycles, regulate their focus, build internal confidence, and help them consistently perform the way they practice—relaxed, aggressive, and fully present.

This is your blueprint for developing mentally tough martial artists who can handle pressure, recover quickly from mistakes, and compete with clarity and courage.

What You’ll Learn

With the Martial Arts Coaches Package, you’ll learn how to

Coach the Mental & Physiological Side of Martial Arts

Understand why athletes freeze, hesitate, or tighten under pressure
Train martial artists to stay calm, focused, and composed during sparring, testing, and tournaments
Identify the root causes of fear, slumps, overthinking, and inconsistent performance
Teach athletes to work with nerves (“the juice”) instead of shutting down from them

Develop Confident, Resilient Competitors

Build internal confidence that holds up in high-intensity environments
Coach athletes through fear cycles, hesitation, perfectionism, and self-doubt
Train fighters to rebound quickly after mistakes or tough moments
Strengthen focus, emotional control, and competitive composure

Communicate Like a High-Performance Coach

Use language and timing that reinforce calm, aggression, and tactical clarity
Navigate athlete overwhelm or shutdown with grounded leadership
Avoid common coaching responses that unintentionally increase fear or pressure
Work effectively with parents so they support, not sabotage, your mental training

Build a High-Trust, High-Consistency Training Culture

Create an environment where athletes feel safe taking risks and progressing through fear
Reduce emotional reactivity, comparison, and pressure dynamics in your dojo
Establish consistent concentration and pre-performance routines
Align coaches, athletes, and parents around what truly builds competitive excellence

These are the same tools Dr. G and Sara have used to transform martial artists and high-level fighters across the country.

The Bottom Line

The Martial Arts Coaches Package gives you a complete system for training mentally tough, confident, and competition-ready martial artists.

You’ll learn how to help athletes move through fear, regulate their focus, handle pressure, and perform with clarity, aggression, and self-trust—even in high-intensity moments. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the psychological and physiological principles that drive consistent performance.

This is how you develop athletes who don’t just execute techniques—but rise to big moments with confidence, resilience, and a champion’s mindset.

Though the products aren’t sport-specific, martial arts coaches consistently report transformative improvements in confidence, composure, and competitive performance.

Testimonials

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.

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

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

Mike Roberts

This is a GREAT tool to use with any sport parents. I had the parents…listen to it in one of our meetings and I couldn’t believe the response. It opened their eyes. Doc, you have such a great way of presenting things. 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 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.

Jack

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 that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

Mohammed

Coach G, Thanks for the downloads. I absolutely love the content. You have opened my kids eyes and I have seen the difference immediately in their smiles and improved play. What a gift!

Kris

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!

CR – Parent

I want to let you know how much I enjoy and respect your series, “14 Steps.” I coach a small high school and 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. She used to think too much and get too nervous going into games. Now she plays the way she practices, relaxed and aggressively. Thanks for your product.

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

Amazing Book! Purchased this book for my husband and once he started reading the book, he couldn’t put it down. He said it was fascinating and so “spot on”. My husband played professional ball and my son is currently at a Div I college playing ball. My husband said that if he knew what this book speaks of back when he played pro ball, he would have had a longer pro career. Every athlete, coach, and parent (especially father) of an athlete will benefit from reading this book.

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

I had no clue that my focus going into my bouts was what was stressing me out and tightening me up. My inconsistency had been bugging me for almost two years and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t turn it around. Your audios (14 Steps) have really opened my eyes and now I’m fighting like I can!

Dan

Since I started working with your audios and talking with you, I’ve finally gotten a handle on my pre-fight nerves and stopped the freezing that was going on in the middle of my bouts. My confidence has increased and now I am fighting the way I do in practice, relaxed, aggressive and dominating!

Dan Martial Arts Tips

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!
