In this section, we will cover:
- Peak Performance - performance becomes easy when the mental tools are working together

- The Participant - you will get exactly what you put into it
- The Prima Donna - this is a dangerous profile for top level athletes
- The Silent Killer - this is the most common profile for athletes no matter what the sport is

Understanding this profile can give you comfort in knowing that future challenges are just part of the process.
Whether you are a new athlete or a veteran, 'The Rookie' profile is an important one for you to understand.

You Won't Win a Gold Medal if You're Sitting in the Stands
The spectator is part of the game but not an invested member. This often occurs from a fear of taking action or indecision. Hesitating is not the way of the champion and must be avoided at all cost. This profile is not an easy one for you to admit to being, but once you realize that you are The Spectator, getting out of this profile is not a difficult task.
In this lecture, we will discuss The Spectator profile and how it can impact your performance.
This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
As a Champion, Good is Never Good Enough if Better is Possible
Participants are starting to take the right steps, but they don't think of themselves as winners yet. This puts them in a position where they will only reach a mid-level of success. If you want to achieve more, you will need to work your way out of this profile. This is the profile of the majority of athletes that never reach the ultimate level of success.
In this lecture, we will discuss The Participant profile and the typical results that you can expect if this is your profile.
This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
What You Do to Become a Winner Isn't Necessarily What You Have to do to Stay One
Beware of the Prima Donna profile. Many great athletes fall into this one and it's tough to get out of. Once an athlete reaches a certain level of success and believes that they no longer have to do the things that helped them win...a downward spiral can occur.
Being a winner and staying a winner is only difficult if you stop investing in yourself the right way. Never allow your ego to become so big that you don't have work hard anymore.
In this lecture, we will discuss the hazards and pitfalls of the Prima Donna profile.
This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
Beware of the Silent Killer Profile...Because it Will Sneak Up on You
The Silent Killer is probably one of the most common profiles, especially with all the daily distractions that an athlete faces. Silent Killers often work harder than anyone else. The problem is they expend too much energy in the wrong direction or activities and will always fall short of the ultimate goal. The easiest way to go from point A to point B is a straight line. Silent Killers are moving in every direction other than a straight line.
To achieve the highest levels of performance, you need to understand the Silent Killer profile and how to avoid it.
This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
Subconscious Thought Can Be Your Strongest Ally or Your Greatest Weakness

The subconscious mind can help you to achieve outstanding results, but you don't always want to be on autopilot. In this lecture we discuss the finer points of how it can help or hurt you.
This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
When You're a Contender You are Only One Step Away from Being a Champion

This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
Being a Champion is What Everyone Wants...But so Few are Willing to Do What is Needed

Your Conscious Mind Will Either Help You to Win the Gold or It Will Prevent You from Winning It. You Get to Choose Which One it Will Be
Being consciously aware of the details is critically important as you move up in the ranks. The higher you go the more important it is. You can't afford to miss anything. Too often, athletes depend on coaches, support staff, other athletes or their parents to manage their details for them. The secret is to become self-sufficient. It's okay to have support, but that should never replace your own ability to manage your day or your performances.
In this lecture, we will unlock your ability to become consciously aware of the details in order for you to develop the structure you need to win.

This lecture includes a downloadable document that should be printed prior to watching the video.
Your Self-Image Will Either Make or Break You
In a negative world, it's often easier to believe the bad stuff rather than the good stuff. As an athlete, you need to become an expert in positive inputs in order to achieve incredible outputs. Positive in...positive out. Your self-image is the critical component to your success. If you don't believe in yourself, the path to become a champion will be an impossible one.
In this lecture, we will discuss techniques that help to reinforce the self-image and help you to develop the positive inputs needed for you to have the outcomes you desire.
