Testimonials

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. Goldberg, I am taking my senior athletes step by step through your 14 Steps To Mental Toughness program. It is wonderful. Repeat: WONDERFUL! Thanks,

Michael

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

I’ve been using your audio program for years with my archers with great success, and I have to tell you, your new version of the workbook is an excellent addition! It makes the entire program that much more effective to me. I especially like your discussion of how the different parts of our brain affect performance and how to get to your ‘performance pro.’ Keep up the great work Dr. G!

Dan

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!

Concerned Parent

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!

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

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.

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! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

As a long time competitor and coach, I can say with 100% confidence that your training is the best out there. You understand this sport and the mental challenges! I recommend your books and audio programs to all my students. Your recent workshops with my shooters and parents were a BIG hit!

Lisette Grunwell

I just finished 2nd with one gun and my combined score was good enough for the overall win. I was 100% relaxed the entire time which was huge for me! That was the first time in a long time where I just “did” it as opposed to forcing it to happen!

Jack

Since working with you and your products, I have pulled everything that you had shown me together and nailed the distinguished rifleman badge. I shot on the New York State High-power team and had a great time! There is no more thinking about it. It just happens, it’s confidence on steroids.
