Every young athlete that I meet wants to play Division-1 athletics, compete in the next Olympics, or go Pro. However, 90% of them fail and many face difficult anxiety and behavioral disorders. Did you know that over 30% of adolescents meet criteria for anxiety disorders? Did you know 20% of adolescents have behavior disorders? Did you know 14% of adolescents experience mood disorders? 11% have substance abuse disorders. I also discuss the rising number of athletes that have been diagnosed with ADHD.

Every athlete and coach needs to ask:

• How can you stop frustrating losses even after you’ve tried everything?
• What can you do to consistently win big and when it counts the most?
• Is there a way to silence the critics that say you always choke in big games?
• How come you did everything you could, prepared for months and months and came up short when it mattered most?

Why Coaches Fail With Athletes:

1. Not understanding an athletes natural disposition to learning. It’s important to know if an athlete learns better by audio, visual, or kinesthetic.
2. You will fail with athletes by not sincerely getting to know them and their parents.
3. They don’t have a clarity of purpose.
4. They’re athletes don’t trust them.
5. Lack of uniform accountability for athletes.
