Performance enhancement through EMDR therapy

Athletes are faced with various mental challenges like: staying focused on the next task and not being distracted by outside circumstances, being able to calm themselves down when upset or frustrated, performing on point at important times, etc. All of these challenges can cause high stress and at times freeze athletes who become unable to perform skills they once were able to do without a problem. If this sounds familiar to you then you might be interested in reading more about EMDR-PEP which is a psychological technique geared to help decreasing performance anxiety and increasing mental sports performance.

I am a trained EMDR therapist and able to support you in overcoming these challenges and reaching mental toughness.

Over involved parents in sports

This week's news about P. Diddy being arrested for attacking his son's coach with a kettle bell due to not agreeing with his coaching methods, shows once more how well intentioned parents at times may create more problems for their kids. Especially in sports, children have to learn to fight and solve their own issues and reap the consequences for certain behaviors. Hard work and being pushed by good coaches is a foundation for success. Over involved parents can create a barrier for reaching success by not allowing the coach to do his job and stopping the children from pushing their own limits to get better.
