Testimonials

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!

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 [athletes]!

Frank

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!

My coaching staff listened to the audio’s with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I shared the audio’s directly wiith a couple of parents. The response was so positive these parents have actually volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio’s and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying their sport again!

Tim

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.

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

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.

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…

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 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 have read your books and listened to your audio’s (14 Steps) my entire life. I was a competitive swimmer when I was younger and have recently completed my first Ironman. I am now in the process of training for my pro license. I just wanted to thank you for all your help. Your audios and books have really helped me achieve a success I used to only dream of!

Ashley

My great practice times never translated into fast races. I knew it was my nerves but didn’t realize that I was focusing too much on my times and splits! I now know I need to focus more on what I am doing and not thinking! I am finally competing the way I train! My confidence is up and my nerves are finally under control!

Kenny

I’m a professional triathlete and despite being a good swimmer, I always got psyched out by competitors right before the start of my races. I would tighten up and fall way behind. Now I am able to focus on the right things before the start and this keeps me calm and confident! What a change!

Sheila

Your audio program has helped me better handle the physical and emotional pain of hard racing! I’m no longer wasting valuable energy worrying about the difficult parts of my event or the course conditions! Good stuff, Dr. G
