IN THE Mind

of a Champion

No matter if you are an athlete or a high-performing attorney. It all starts with the mind.

"Anyone can teach you skills. We teach you how to win. "

Why learning to relax on command, (lower your heart rate) quickly is so important?

Anxiety or previous bad experiences can cause many of us to live of anxiety which causes us to make decisions
hastily without thinking them through.

Learning meditation, doing yoga, or being mindful helps you to deal with your stress overall but when you are going through a stressful situation, (2 outs, bases loaded and you are at bat) you need a tool that lowers your heart rate quickly, at that moment.

Any anxiety-producing situation can be managed by touching an anchor and training your body to respond instantly in that moment.

Relaxation on command

When we are feeling anxious or triggered or overwhelmed our heart rate becomes sporadic and that fluctuation in heart rate causes our body to go into a fight-flight or freeze mode. Sweating, anxious, fearful, and most often making poor decisions in the moment.

When we are in that state, we are not able to play at our best! It is plain and simple. That is why learning to control your emotions when you get to that point prior to or during competition is so crucial if you are serious about taking
your game to the next level.

By controlling your heart rate you are learning how to control your physical response to the anxiety-producing situation, therefore putting you in control of fears and worries.
