Mindset First Workshop
A New Way for Athletes, Coaches, and Parents to Approach Sports & Life
Today’s athletes are surrounded by constant comparisons, expectations, and pressures to perform. As such, many athletes struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and performance anxiety. These challenges don’t stop in sport, they carry into any area of life where being at your best matters.
Fluffy and cookie-cutter advice like “be positive,” “don’t worry about it,” and “just be confident” doesn’t work. These might be the mental states you are trying to achieve, but they are not the ‘how to’.
It’s time to flip our approach to sport — this applies to athletes, coaches, and even parents.
Instead of focusing all of our energy on what we want to achieve, we need to prioritize who we want to be and how we want to show up. By ‘slowing down’ and gaining clarity on your inner world, you get grounded, centered, and ready to tackle the outer world.
This new approach is all about taking control and being Mindset First.
This is the approach we use when coaching professional athletes to show up at their best day-in and day-out. And in this insightful and interactive 60 min workshop, a CEP coach pulls back the curtain and shares the four fundamental strategies (diagram below) so you can break free from the weight of results, play with confidence, and perform when it matters most.
*This is the main workshop we deliver. If a team want’s the 4 part workshop series, then this is still the first workshop.
