Mental Strength Success Stories
Understanding A Player.
Then, Helping Him Excel
This basketball player, age 24, was a power forward with physical attributes for playing strong pick and roll defense. However, in games, he never managed to play to his potential. I was asked to provide customized mental strength strategies. I focused on what he liked to do most—going for a block—and “copied” the codes for going for a block and “pasted” them on the pick and roll defense. We practiced this intently and, ultimately, he became one of the best defenders in the league. Today is a Croatian National Team player!
From Being Dejected To Being The Best
This soccer player, age 25, was the top earner on a major Croatian League team, but with a four-month goal drought, he became unhappy with his playing time and team status. He decided to leave the team at the season’s end. This alarmed the President, who asked me to help resolve the problem. I had three in-depth and rigorous mental coaching sessions in four days with the player and, at the next game, he scored for the win! Nine more goals were scored by season’s end and this player became the best scorer in the league in goals by minutes played!
Triumphing Over Anxiety To Reach The Pinnacle
This female water polo player, age 25, was increasingly insecure due to injuries. This was right before the 2019 Regional League finals! In practices, she did well, but in games, she felt overwhelmed with anxiety. To help in a very limited amount of time, I concentrated on three offense and defense areas. My mental strength training enabled her to manage anxiety, powered her to help the team win the finals and resulted in her winning the MVP! Two weeks later, she was selected as the Croatian League Finals MVP and, in 2020, she was named the best female water polo player in Croatia!
