Performance Coaching
Dr. Brassington’s Mental Training Program teaches men, women, and children how to achieve peak performances in work, sport, the performing arts, and life. Many performers work endless hours to perfect their skills only to hope that they are in the right frame of minds to make a key presentation, business negotiation, or to execute a hard earned athletic or performing arts skill. His training program involves the application of scientifically supported mental training techniques (e.g., systematic goal setting, relaxation response, visualization, attention control, cognitive restructuring) to teach clients how to access the power of their mind to naturally enhance their performance. How much more successful would you be if you could use the full power of your mind to enhance your performance and well-being? How much healthier would you be if you could perform in a more relaxed physiological state? Dr. Brassington takes the guesswork out of creating the optimal mental state for performance. This frequently gives his clients the edge over their less mentally prepared competitors.
