Athlete's Treasure

Do you need to calibrate your mind to be able to show all the hard work you have put into your sport? That is applied sport psychology or mental training. It is all about helping individuals show their best. It is a skill that can be developed, and most athletes underperform during competitions because they never learned.

🏆 Elite athletes don’t just train their bodies — they train their minds.
In 2006, members of the World Cup–winning team revealed that biofeedback was part of their mental preparation.
Later, top sport psychology and sport psychophysiology experts adapted the Mindroom to train Canada’s Olympic gold‑medal speed skaters.

My own methods are built on that Canadian evolution — powered by Thought Technology, the world leader in biofeedback systems.

And yes… I learned directly from the source.
Dr. Demichelis, the originator of the Mindroom, presented his protocol at the AAPB conference in Orlando — and of course I was there soaking up every detail.

Mental training isn’t optional. It’s the edge.

I was not sure if I could greet a Hawaiian friend with "Happy Fourth..."
But wishing you a wonderful weekend!

"Flow and "Peak Performances" are not the same!
Even though many people use the terms interchangeably, it is essential to understand the differences when choosing the best mental training interventions to help athletes perform at their best.

If you want to contribute to my science and receive a "free" mental training intervention, participate in my research

I also want to let you know my research proposal was approved by the IRB (Institutional Review Board). It is a federal law that research with human subjects must be approved by the IRB.
If you decide to participate in this study, you can be sure that you will be safe. I am a true sport psychology professional and not a crazy social media influencer.

Often, when athletes show higher “levels of activation,” which are perceived by awkward behaviors such as talking too fast, checking the equipment too often, and being unable to keep still, the coach and teammates worry that “the nerves” will hurt the athletes’ performance. But it is not always the truth. Some athletes perform best when they are “over-aroused” or “over-activated.”
As someone trained in sport and performance psychology, I can identify what can “help” or “hurt” athletic performance and develop a mental training intervention tailored to the athlete’s needs.

Happy Father's Day to the one who initiated you in sports. Your biggest fan, best coach, and big sponsor.

Many athletes feel uncomfortable with that "activation" before they compete. Often they are told to breathe! But just breathing does not work. The reason is that a lot more is going on; just taking a few deep breaths will not help much. There are many ways to address this issue, depending on the athlete's preferences and needs.

I am recruiting surfers (of any wave-riding sport) to participate in my research.
The study format is:
Pre-intervention (one week surfing)
Intervention (the mental training/six weekly 1h sessions)
Post-intervention (one week surfing)
No monetary compensation to participate. You will receive help covering the costs of driving for the mental training sessions.
My research has been approved by the IRB, an independent ethics committee mandated by the FDA and HHS to review and approve research in the Behavioral Sciences.
