    Welcome! Please watch this video to get to know mental performance coach, Brian Swan, and understand the basic framework of this course. 

    The Athlete's Guide to Flow has been made available for you. Please download it and read it. Flow is the state of mind where athletes perform at their personal peak (often referred to as being "in the zone"). This guide will not only explain what flow is, but also the conditions that must be present for flow to occur. While the research has shown that flow is not something we can control and turn and off -- flow is an involuntary response, not a conscious action -- this guide is an invaluable resource in helping to understand the conditions that must be present to help the mind enter the flow state so that you can perform at your best. This understanding of flow, along with the skills, strategies, and principles taught in this course, will arm you with every weapon you need to raise your game to your personal peak potential!

    Once you complete the videos in Section 1 and come to full a understanding of the archetype and the power of it, you'll go through Sections 2 & 3 to fully integrate the archetype into your identity as an athlete and how you perform. In Section 4 you'll find powerful visualization strategies that hold roots in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Each video has an introductory video that explains how and when to use the exercise. These exercises are available for you as an additional resource to reinforce what you learn in the first three sections, to bolster your confidence, to help your mind unlock your stronger performance, and to condition your beliefs about what is possible for you. For many clients who enroll in personal coaching, these exercises have been the absolute game-changer, and they swear by them.

    The most important part of this course, and the most transformative to your personal performance level, is the assignments attached to each module. If you really want to receive the full benefits this course offers and really raise your game to the highest levels of your personal potential, you must commit to yourself right now that you will print out each assignment and thoughtfully complete them. While you will definitely get value in watching the videos in this course, you will be on a whole other level if you fully engage and complete every assignment. It might even be a good idea to keep each assignment in a binder or folder so that you can look back at them from time to time and remind yourself of what you need to consistently do to keep elevating your game. So, please, before you read on, before you start the following modules and sections, make a true and disciplined commitment to yourself right now that you will fully engage with me as I take you on this journey to find the best version of your athletic identity!

    Make that commitment NOW!

    In Section 4 is an included bonus set of videos that offer powerful leadership strategies for team and organizational leaders. Leadership in team sports can make or break a season. Leadership alone is a huge component in winning championships. These leadership strategies will help any team captain, coach, or leader create a better culture, inspire drive and respect, and help create a more solid team identity. If you don't play a team sport, these videos and assignments will still be of great value to you in developing your own personal leadership skills as you apply them to your family, social circle, job, or whatever you aspire to do that involves other people. So, please, no matter what position you're in, please be sure to take advantage of these videos to better understand the importance of leadership and how to effectively strengthen that attribute within yourself.

    Enjoy the course!

  • The Archetype5:56

    Where other mindset coaches and sports psychologists merely offer basic strategies and/or explain theories of athletic performance, it's important to understand how this course is different, and it all starts here. In this video you'll learn the archetype which has been the framework to launch countless athletes to perform at higher levels. This simple, yet powerful, story will set the initial tone for the rest of course and give you the metaphorical origins of how we will begin to help you find and tap into that part of you that can raise your game to the next level.

  • Understanding Your Identity as an Athlete14:39

    Now that you know the archetype, it's time to really understand the power behind the metaphor. In this video, you'll take a deep dive into the metaphor of history's greatest athlete. This metaphor is specifically and strategically designed to help you understand that you have the same attributes within yourself, albeit at different levels of strength. Therefore, it's imperative that after you watch the video you download the Attribute Diagnosis assignment, print it out, and honestly assess yourself. This will show you where you are and why your current level of performance might be plateaued. Having this honest assessment will serve as a baseline that you can look back at later and see what progress you've made in strengthening the key attributes required to perform at your absolute peak.

Requirements

  • A printer to print the written assignments
  • The ability to read and write
  • A desire to engage fully and be 100% in
  • An unbreakable commitment to yourself to implement what you learn and improve your athletic performance
