The Mental Strength Agoge

Mental strength – a term commonly used, mainly in by coaches, sport psychologists, sport commentators as well as business leaders – generally describes a collection of mental toughness attributes that allow a person to achieve peak performance and persevere through difficult circumstances, like difficult training, competitive situations or business meetings, and emerge without losing confidence.

Mental strength is a contested term, in that many people use the term liberally to refer to any set of positive attributes that helps a person to cope with difficult situations. Coaches and commentators freely use the term mental toughness to describe the mental state of a person who perseveres through difficult circumstances to succeed. Only within the past ten years has scientific research attempted a formal definition of mental toughness as a psychological construct.

Mental Toughness and the Mind – The Key To Peak Performance

The greatest tool a person has is their mind. The brain – that wonderful organ that regulates our breathing, controls our beating heart, and manages the rest our body – is at the core of peak performance and unsuccessful performances as well.

Everybody knows that talent and physical skill play an enormous role in every success, but not many people understand the importance of the mind plays in attaining peak performance. In fact, our mind is one of the most powerful pieces of equipment we’ll ever own.

It can make you or break you.

Once you understand the power of the mind you’ll be able help your clients use it to their advantage, and help them realize peak performance.

When is a Mental Strength Coaching Program Useful?

Many athletes, coaches, parents and managers are confused about the role of Mental Strength Coaching in regards to personal peak performance.

The goal of Mental Strength Coaching is to help individuals attain peak performance by improving the necessary mental toughness skills to excel in stressful endeavors.

Mental Strength Coaching, similar to positive psychology, concentrates specifically on coaching individuals on how to break through the mental barriers that keep them from performing up to their potential and by teaching the mental skills necessary for personal peak performance in any area of life.

By focusing on the mental toughness strategies needed to be reach peak performance and personal success, Mental Strength Coaching seeks to achieve the overall goal of consistent peak performance, steady improvement and breaking through mental resistance, regardless of what that performance is.

What is the Mental Strength Coaching Program?

Funny thing about coaching, the client usually does well while they’re engaged in the coaching process. It’s when they leave that the progress stops.

The intent of the Mental Strength Coaching Program is to give life coaches, fitness trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, managers, business owners and personal trainers with tools to help with themselves, their clients and their team to consistently progress until they reach their goal of peak performance.

Coaching For Peak Performance

It’s been my experience of 25+ years in executive sales, 20+ years in the fitness industry and 5+ years as a personal peak performance coach that lasting change occurs when the professional can communicate effectively with their client.

This communication involves understanding how they client thinks, why they think this way and offer tools to help them think in a more empowering way. This is why I developed the Mental Strength Professional Coaching Certification.

The course if divided into three sections to achieve peak performance: Personal Coaching

Mental Strength Training

Mental Strength Personal Coaching

The Personal Coaching section goes over what personal coaching is. Many people think that coaching is telling the client what to do. This is true when it comes to technical coaching, i.e. sports performance, exercise and even sales. This method of telling is not effective for changing habitual thinking and behavior.

Coaching to change a behavior is more than just telling a client to stop doing something. When a professional coach/trainer understands this they will truly be able to “coach” their clients to change their behaviors.

Mind Training

The Mind Training section goes over some basic NLP (neuro-linguists programing) and how people process information. When a coach understands HOW a client thinks they will be able to communicate at the same “level,” and then get the results they are both looking for.

Have you ever wondered what makes the real difference in life and sport?

Some of the target areas in the training are Motivation, Goal setting, Focus, Stress Management and Modeling and we will also teach you how to help people cross thresholds and how to help them to Flow.

• Learn the Same Mental Strength Skills Used by Peak Performance Professionals.

The higher the talent, the greater the need for mental strength. Peak performance professionals, i.e. business, sales, athletes, are under enormous pressure to perform well. They all have outstanding talent and skills, so the only thing that sets one apart from the other is often their mental strength. If these individuals can benefit from mental strength training, you can now teach it to them.

• Self-Paced and Affordable

Until now, mental strength training has been reserved only for those who could afford to hire a one-on-one mental strength trainer or sports psychologist. It’s been a long standing dream of ours that anyone who wanted it could have access to customized mental training, regardless of income level, skill level or location.

Mental strength coaching and training is a fairly new and highly specialized arena, again, just like sports psychology. Individualized mental strength training is expensive – typically thousands of dollars.
