Since I started working with your audio’s (14 Steps) and talking with you, I’ve finally gotten a handle on my…nerves and stopped the freezing that was going on… My confidence has increased and now I am [competing] the way I do in practice, relaxed, aggressive, and dominating! Thanks Dr. G!!

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.

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 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.

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!

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!

When I competed in big regattas I would always fall apart and what really frustrated me was that I was great in small races! What a turnaround!

I used to get too psyched out by other sailors when I raced. I’d see them and start worrying about how good they were. Thanks to your program I only focus on what’s going on in my boat and the results have been amazing! Grateful!

Dennis

Thanks for your audio programs! I couldn’t stop my mind from racing and my results showed! After working with your program I know just what to do mentally and I’m more confident than ever!
