	Sports Performance Watch my video Introducing myself There are countless athletes who push themselves to excel in the sport of their choosing. Competition is tough, and so they push their bodies to the limit in practice and in the weight room to be stronger than their competition. Often the athlete that is in the best physical shape prevails over the athlete who is not as strong or well conditioned. And there is always the rare physical specimen who has been endowed with the type of body that gives him or her leverage over others when it comes to excelling in his or her respective sport. Watch this special video taken by students from High Tech High School who were interested in exploring issues pertaining to sports and kids in American culture. Click Here While the aforementioned is sometimes true, I maintain that more often than not one’s physical endowment alone does not ensure success for that athlete. What often separates good athletes from great athletes is often how mentally tough that athlete is. Many good athletes do not fulfill their true potential and become great athletes because of unconscious processes going on in their minds that turn the athlete against himself, ensuring that the athlete will sabotage any chance of remarkable success in his or her chosen sport. I have worked with countless athletes on overcoming the psychological barriers that get in the way of achieving excellence in the sport of their choosing. Some athletes that I have worked with have a profound fear failure, while other athletes have deep seeded fears of success. Some athletes have low self-esteem that precludes them from being all that they can be. Other athletes suffer from performance anxiety that may stem from a life long pattern of perfectionism, and a belief that if they do not win at whatever it is they are trying to win, than they are failures in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. There are a host of other reasons that athletes often fail to live up to their true potential. While I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am also a life coach. I am very good at motivating athletes, and teaching them how to believe in themselves. Finally, I teach athletes how to avoid getting in their own way, and how to achieve the kind of success they so deserve in their chosen sport.
