This is the start of a new podcast series based on my book ‘Play Your Best’.
What if you could help your athletes more consistently play their best?
What if you could help them develop a better mindset to take advantage of all of the hard work put in practice everyday? Best of all, what if you could help them believe in themselves when it counts the most? The world’s best athletes know what it takes to consistently be their best and now your athletes can too working through the exercises found in the new book Play Your Best™.
In each episode I will be reviewing a chapter from the book discussing various aspects and tools of mental performance and how you can get your athletes to show up when it counts the most.

Below are a few highlights from this episode:
Overview of ‘Play Your Best’
6 Main Reasons why I wrote the book and created the system
athlete’s don’t always make good decisions
athlete’s struggle to show up when it counts the most
athlete’s have poor communication & conversational skills
athlete’s struggle with mental toughness & self-confidence
athlete’s have not participated in a formal mental performance program
athlete’s need to learn what it means to be coachable and a great team player
Exactly how I use it with my own athletes
Every athlete that I work with (including high school, college, and pro athletes) gets a copy when we first start working together. This helps me to address the mental part of their game as well as ensuring that we will be on the same page when it comes to me being able to help them improve all aspects of their performance.
6 practical applications and suggestions for how you can best implement ‘Play Your Best’ into your program
as part of an athlete ‘welcome package’ for new athletes in your program
create a small group class that meets once per week covering a chapter each week
as part of your school’s student athlete curriculum for a fall/winter/spring sports season
offer the book as a bonus for early registration for your summer camps
use it as a give away during a talk to local sports clubs/teams
implement the book into weekly team meetings
