MIKE'S PHILOSOPHY
"Working with athletes for over 25 years, I know that increasing understanding of the mind and learning to direct it toward results is key. To do that, developing trust through the coaching relationship is critical-as well as teaching athletes to enjoy the journey of continuous improvement. We always have to start with the skills we have and increase our abilities as we progress-but the biggest hurdle is learning to trust yourself and get out of your own way. Athletes (and adults alike) will experience strong feelings like frustration, anxiety, anger and issues with confidence and focus when working on growth. Teaching others that success is equal parts mental skill as well as physical skill is how I approach it-and if what I am teaching is not understood, it's my accountability, 100% of the time."
