Licensed Sports Performance Coach™
Cutting-edge Training in The Word!
*Next Training Coming in Summer 2012*
”What an experience – nine days full of intensive learning in a challenging and supportive athmosphere! This course taught me in many ways how NLP can be utilized in sports coaching and how you can really make the difference in the performance. Real live athletes as our clients made the course even more interesting and useful. Now I can help my clients much better – whether the issue is sports related or not. After the course one of my clients called me a ’mental training guru’. What more can I ask for?” – Katri Syvärinen, Licensed NLP Coach, Licensed Sports Performance Coach

Who is this training for?
There are at least three different target groups for this program. You who want to make a living out of coaching athletes, you who already is a sports coach and now want to add more skills on the mental part of coaching and finally you who is an athlete and who wants to sharpen your game.
Personal coaching of Athletes as a way of living?
- or just the ambition of helping the talents of the club or yourself to bigger and better achievements?
We all know it, we’ve seen it so many times before and will see it again; Athletes who at the peak of their physical condition, suddenly do not perform – or talents who everybody talks about – but for some reason just doesn’t make it.
Sport globally has become more and more competitive and the pressure on the individual athlete. The reasons are many, but just to mention a few then media attention and the money involved in many sports, does apply pressure on the skilled athlete. As a consequence of this, the pressure also enhances on the amateur athlete, who can see their hero’s improve and often with a huge financial reward. This create dreams and hopes of own performance and results – and although within own physical boundaries – enhances the desire to achieve.
Globally sports has become an even more important part of our lives. The focus and attention to physical wellbeing has increased dramatically as a consequence of the global battle against overweight and other lifestyle diseases. People generally are more stressed at their work and sport can help fight both stress and other lifestyle related diseases and can help improve quality of life for most people. Sport can also help you stay healthy. More and more people have a job where they sit down and do not move as much as the human body is designed for, but with adequate amount of exercise, you can compensate for this, keeping joints and muscles in shape.
Sport today is an important part of your life, no matter whether you are just maintaining your systems, amateur or professional Athlete. That is why it is imperative that you can concentrate and stay focused on what really matters.
Up until now, mental training has been for the few and elite and has been safeguarded by psychologists. This has to some degree given the field an elitist image – something that only the best in their game has access to, although others may need it just as badly. The beauty of sports is – after all – in its purest form – only a battle between yourself and the level you compete on.
We offer you a certification, with several international certifications inside, that can give you the necessary skills to work with the mental part of the game. In just 9 days we give you proven methods and techniques, that will enable you to help others with the mental challenges they may have. You will learn some generic skills, that are not related to any particular discipline, so you will be able to work with athletes from all types of sports, just as you can use these new skills in many other contexts.
What will you learn?
The list is long and comprehensive, but just to name a few things, you will learn how to help an athlete to Flow, go past a threshold, model strategies from others and improve own, create a winning Mind Design, cope with pressure, understand mental preferences and the influence of those on training and competing, advanced coaching through the Coaching Matrix™ and advanced hypnosis for deep impact and relaxation.
You will learn how to work with both individual athletes and teams.
