If They Do, My Confidence Coaching Will Help You Breakthrough!

You may have talent. You may have plenty of ability. But it counts for nothing, if your performance is undermined, by any one of these five self-defeating behaviours:

1. You Feel That Whatever You Do Is Never Good Enough - A Perfectionist Streak
2. You Make The Wrong Decisions - Especially Under Pressure
3. You Experience Fear Of Failure - Or Fear Of Success
4. You Lack Belief In Yourself - Even Though You Have The Talent
5. You Dwell On Your Mistakes - And Then Make More Of Them

If this is you, then please read on...

1: Whatever You Do Isn't Good Enough - A Perfectionist Streak...

European Tour Winner and Ryder Cup legend, Colin Montgomerie recently said, that the reason he never won a Major title, in his illustrious playing career, was because of perfectionism. He went to four Majors every season, wanting to play his game at a level of 10/10. In other words, to play perfect golf.

This was because, he thought his rivals would all bring their A games to the Majors. All be at their best.

And secondly, because of the great history of those tournaments. He built the events up in his mind to epic proportions. And so put himself under far too much pressure to perform.

It was only when Padraig Harrington won his first Major in 2007, that Monty realised that playing at a level of 8/10 would have been good enough to win a Major. For Padraig didn't play perfect golf at Carnoustie in 2007. He simply managed his game better than the other players.

What does playing at 8/10 mean? It means being able to consistently do the simple things well. To not try to be perfect. And, this simple strategy is guaranteed to build up your confidence.

Do you, like Monty, put yourself under pressure to be perfect? And then beat yourself up when your not? Perfectionism can eat away at self-confidence. Whatever you do isn't good enough.

My Confidence Coaching, will help you perform in a much more relaxed way, that delivers results. Without having to be perfect! How much of a relief would that be? I will show you exactly how to play at a level of 8/10. And win!

2: You Make The Wrong Decisions - Especially Under Pressure...

All sports involve decision-making. And the quality of your decision-making, has a critical bearing on your outcomes. When England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003, Sir Clive Woodward pointed out, that Johnny Wilkinson's drop goal winner, was the result of him and the team, Thinking Correctly Under Pressure. Or TCUP as Sir Clive named it.

Perhaps you make the wrong decisions, because you are not thinking clearly. And the reason that you are not thinking clearly, is because you haven't mentally prepared properly, for your game or event.

You have no plan. You try to wing it. Deal with things as they come up. Sometimes you might get away with it. Usually you won't.

My Confidence Coaching will help you improve the quality of your decision-making. You will no longer begin events, feeling mentally unprepared.

I will show you how to prepare for your sport, in such a way, that will lead to consistently better decision-making.

The better the decisions you make, the more your confidence will grow. The more your confidence grows, the better the quality of your decision-making. Is that something you would like to experience?

3: You Experience Fear Of Failure - Or Fear Of Success...

Have you ever been in a situation, where you have the chance to score a goal in football? Or take out a double in darts? Or make a birdie at golf? Or close out a match in tennis?

But somehow you didn't. You know you had the ability. But you were scared of missing. In case you lost.

And that fear of missing, caused you to tighten. To choke. Maybe for your palms to sweat.

You see it all the time in penalty shoot-outs, where an experienced player hits a very tame penalty at the keeper. Or blazes wildly over the bar. Remember Roberto Baggio, 'The Divine Ponytail', in the 1998 World Cup Final?

You didn't know why at the time. But afterwards, when you thought about it, it was obvious. Yet, maybe you are still not sure what to do about it.

It's not a good feeling when this happens, is it? You rue those missed opportunities for days, even weeks afterwards. You could have won. But you didn't.

If you want to overcome fear of failure, then I will show you how to take the golden opportunities when they come your way.

I will reveal how to prepare for those game changing moments, so that you can be confident and clinical, when you need to be. Would that make a difference to your game?

4: You Lack Belief In Yourself - Even Though You Have The Talent...

Maybe you have the talent. You know it. And everyone tells you so. But, your performances don't show it. You under perform. Time and time again. And you don't quite know why.

As if you don't quite back yourself. Take the easy options. Stay in the comfort zone. Instead of really going for it.

You see it in players, who never breakthrough to the top level. Even though they may have the same level of raw talent, as those who have broken through. It's not a question of talent. It's a question of how the player, thinks about that talent.

That belief is under the surface. But it needs bringing out. Its my job to bring it out in you.

When you believe in yourself, confidence flows, and you start performing to your potential. My aim is to build your self-belief, so that you feel what it is like, to be a winner and a champion again!

I will give you belief-building strategies, to help you focus on what you do well. And turn weaknesses into strengths. So that step by step, your belief grows, and your talent is matched by your performances.

5: You Dwell On Your Mistakes - And Then Make The Same Mistakes Again..

Whatever your sport, you will make mistakes. That's normal. It's part and parcel of the game.

But its how you react to those mistakes, that makes a difference. Mentally strong and confident players, can put mistakes behind them. Move on quickly. Don't associate themselves with the mistake.

Perhaps, in the middle of a game, you dwell on your mistakes. You think, 'Why did I do that?' 'What was I thinking of?' And when you dwell on a mistake, your mind can wander and concentration weaken. Leading to another mistake.

Quickly your confidence falls to pieces, as you beat yourself up for having made another error. You know it happens, but you don't know what to do about it.

Do you recognise this scenario? If so, I will give you effective strategies to help you put mistakes behind you. Leading to better concentration, less mistakes and more success.
