When

If
your answer to any of these questions is yes” then I can help
you get back on track. As a nationally known expert in the field of
applied sports psychology, I specialize in working with athletes in all
sports and at every level to help them get the most out of their
physical skills and ability. As your very own personal head coach I can
teach you how to get unstuck, develop mental toughness and avoid future
mental traps. Here is how I do it…
Just
prior to working with Dr. G my confidence was at an all-time low. I
couldn't throw strikes and I was on the verge of giving up on my
lifelong goal of playing professional baseball, and to be honest I have
to say that I was a bit skeptical that any of this “mental
stuff” could really help me. After a number of sessions with
Alan he helped me recover my total confidence, focus better and stay
calm under pressure. This led to my best year ever as a college pitcher
and I am now realizing my dream of playing professional ball with the
Atlanta Braves organization.

- Step #1
is to teach you how to recognize and understand the role that you have
been playing in keeping yourself stuck. Most slumps are a result of bad
“mental strategies.” That is, you concentrate on
the wrong things, make the wrong pictures in your mind and use
confidence-eroding self-talk before & during your performance.
If these mental mechanics” are off you can be one of the best
athletes in the world and you'll still perform badly! Mental toughness
begins with learning to recognize all these mental mistakes.
- Step#2
involves getting you out of the “trying harder”
trap. Athletes get to where they are by working hard. If something is
causing a performance problem the typical athlete will just put more
effort into solving the problem. While this problem solving strategy
may work when it comes to learning new technique or getting over a bad
habit, it has the opposite effect when the problems related to your
mental mechanics. The normal frustrations that arise when you're
slumping tend to cause the athlete to try too hard. However, peak
performance can only happen when you're completely relaxed and letting
the performance happen. ”Trying harder or forcing yourself to
play better is the game of diminishing returns: The harder you try the
worse you'll do.
- In Step #3
I will teach you how to systematically get unstuck. It doesn't matter
if you're a batter in a slump, a swimmer or runner who goes faster in
practice than in the big races, a gymnast, diver or skater who is
blocked by fears or a particular skill, a soccer, lacrosse or football
player who can't seem to let go of his mistakes, a basketball player
who can't seem to find his jump shot or any struggling athlete in any
sport. The aim of this third step is to not just help you eliminate the
problem, but to leave you with the mental toughness skills which will
help you avoid these kinds of difficulties in the future. Simply put,
when you're done with your training with me you'll be far more mentally
tougher than when you started.
What will
you learn? Depending on your particular problems you'll develop the
following mental strategies: How to recognize and avoid the mental
traps that catch most athletes; How to effectively handle and master
performance fears; How to deal with self-doubts and negative thinking
so that they do not negatively effect your performance; How to quickly
rebound from mistakes, errors, bad calls & bad breaks;
Confidence building strategies; Staying calm the nights before and day
of a big competition; How to concentrate on what's important and block
everything else out; How to use mental rehearsal to effectively prepare
for big performances, master fears and handle pressure; Maintaining
winning motivation when the going gets tough; Using goal setting to
lift the level of your training; and more!

Ashley and I wanted to thank you for all
your help. She made the Regional team and for once played in try-outs
the way she knows she's capable of. She told me that she didn't make
herself nervous and the tools that you taught her worked like a charm.
While I'm thrilled that she's playing good soccer again, as a mother
the more important thing is that she's happy again and feeling good
about herself. Thanks for everything.

"Dr. G. I have noticed a marked improvement
in Charlene's attitude on many different levels. Not only sailing, but
her schoolwork and now her running. I am very pleased with what I have
seen and credit your working with her to guide her. She has a newly
found focus and drive that is terrific." D.H., Florida
I just want you to know how much we appreciate what you have done for
Kaye. She had such a great Championships and this was after having a
major disappointment in her first event. In the past this would have
set the tone for the whole meet and Kaye would have let it bring her
down. Not this time! She knew exactly how to let her disappointment go
and her attitude was amazing. She said that you taught her how to be
mentally tough and now we can really see it! You've helped Kaye so much
and we can't thank you enough! ñ

"Dr. Goldberg. After the 5 sessions my son
spent with you last winter his performance improved dramatically. David
began getting more out of his practices. His race performance slump
came to a rapid end! His grades improved as his power of concentration
increased. As we start the new season I am confident that David will
continue to make excellent use of the mental toughness tools you've
taught him. Thanks ever so much for all your help. We have a completely
new kid in the house."
