WHAT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORTS MENTAL SKILLS COACHING?


For over 25 years, the Behavioral Coaching Institute has been providing our select students with world-best skills, knowledge and scientifically proven tools to position themselves at the top of the coaching field.

Neuroscience provide us a clear map to fast-tracked, sustainable individual and team development.

The exciting new field of Neuroscience provides us an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of mental skills coaching and important insights how to fast-track development.

These important insights provide sports coaches a blue-print for scientific coaching processes that are incredibly easy to use and generate exceptional, sustainable results.

The course reviews critical findings and latest studies that provides students the neural differences between the modern approach to sports coaching and yesterday’s sports coaching model.

Neuro-Behavioral Coaching activates networks and regions of the brain that are associated with big-picture thinking, engagement, motivation, stress regulation, and parasympathetic modulation. Whereas the brain areas responsible for analytic thinking, used in the traditional coaching approach, exist in tension with the brain regions essential for emotionally connecting with self, others and being open to challenge and development.

 

 

Many recent studies confirm the “Secret Ingredient” to Athletic Performance..

Professional athletes at the highest levels of competition use the course's daily mental exercises, including a major US league baseball team—one that recently won the World Series. There are PGA golfers using the techniques to cut strokes off their game, to calm their nerves and steady their hands and NFL players who use them to get back on the field after injury faster than the competition.

The Institute's unique, Mental Skills Coaching Course provides select student's powerful, 15 minute, personalized, daily mental exercises that are worth millions of dollars to elite professional athletes, not to mention ma
ssive recognition and prestige.

Coaches sign confidentiality agreements with their athletes not to disclose the work they are engaged in together. However, there are numerous, research studies published in leading scientific journals (cited in our unique course) confirming the significant, sustainable results generated by the techniques presented in our unique course

The Behavioral Coaching Institute pioneered behavioral coaching and performance coaching over 30 years ago and today is still the world’s leading developer and supplier of cutting edge performance coaching methodology.

In line with today’s new challenges and opportunities, we provide unique, world-best-class, coach training courses with a high performance neuro-behavioral coaching focus for individual and team development.

The Sports Behavioral Sciences have been significantly updated by powerful, life-changing contributions from brain-mind-body medicine, emerging neuroscientific technologies and the latest, evidence-based methodologies from Applied Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology.

Peak performance coaching tools and techniques.
To create lasting, significant performance enhancement it is necessary to understand the positive and negative influence that an athlete's Mental Skills has on the execution of their Technical Sports / Physical Skills. Only when we fully understand a person's behavioral patterns and create positive self-managing coaching strategies can we assist a person to create lasting, power-boosting, performance change.

High Performance Neuro-Behavioral Coaching should not be confused with other types of coaching or sports psychology which uses a counselling approach.
High Performance Neuro-Behavioral Coaching is a form of Directive Coaching. Broadly speaking, coaching methodologies are either directive or non-directive in approach. Directive Coaching involves: telling, instructing, offering guidance, giving feedback, making suggestions etc. Non-Directive Coaching involves helping someone to solve their own problems and given them the responsibility for taking action.

Performance Coaching methods have changed little in 10 years, perhaps even 20 years.
The traditional, passive sports "coach" doesn't have time nor the techniques to help an athlete understand why they may be using an unhelpful mental framework or 'underperforming behavior'.

When sports coaches / trainers access knowledge from outdated, traditional coach-education manuals, the results are greater myths and confusion rather than improved clarity of knowledge.
 
Coaches need to understand the value in staying ahead of the rapidly evolving process of sports performance coaching.

Team and individual performance results will remain disordered and inconsistent unless a standardized, modern coaching approach and the same scientific, coaching methodologies are adopted by all trainers / coaches with their athletes. It is imperative that up-to-date, coaching best-practices and evidence-based principles are introduced to the coach's knowledge base. A failure to keep abreast of an ever expanding knowledge base of today's high performance neuro-behavioral coaching best-practices will stymie progress in personal achievements and performance outcomes.

Specialist Mental Skills Coaches primarily source their knowledge and skill sets from today’s cutting-edge, neuroscientific technologies and the latest, evidence-based methodologies from Applied Cognitive Neuroscience.

Specialist Mental Skills Coaches:
- take a teaching, 'directive coaching' approach with their coaches
- focus on the now and future time space in achieving their athlete's Performance Needs Coals
- employ today’s advanced, science-based, mental skills techniques
- use accelerated learning (typically 2 or 3 brief sessions only) to empower athletes to self-coach themselves and practice their customized mental exercises.
- also refer any athletes with psychological problems to a licensed psychologist.

The Bottom Line
Today’s, huge window of opportunity for sports mental skills coaching is tailored made for certified coaches trained in the use of proven, cutting-edge, sports science methodology delivered via easy-to-use, short, daily, mental exercises.

The Behavioral Coaching Institute's invitational, fast-tracked, Certified Master Coach Courses (Self-Study, Campus or Distance Learning format) meets the critical needs for sports coaches to be trained and mentored in the use of validated, reliable performance focused, psychology-based tools and techniques.

TYPICAL ATHLETE'S STEPS WHEN WORKING WITH A SPORTS PERFORMANCE  PSYCHOLOGY COACH

The coach (typically via telecoaching) will discuss the athletes sports Performance Needs and then develop a personalized plan for them. It will consist of different goals they wish to achieve in their sports performance.

Overcoming Sporting Challenges
The coach will conduct performance profiling which consists of evaluating the athletes existing mental skills and improving them further to reach the next level in their Sports Performance 

Sporting Challenges are part of every athlete’s career. The coach will support the athlete to overcome their challenges using cutting-edge, neuro-behavioral methodology and tools to build stronger mental skills.

Together they will work on developing new mental skills using easy-to-learn and use, short, daily exercises they can practice anytime. The coach will monitor the athletes mental skills exercises and help them practice when required.

The coach will support the athlete throughout the designated learning and development journey. The athlete will notice how their mental skills will quickly transfer into their game. Their new skills will become a part of their 'New improved SELF'

 

Some Definitions:

Performance can be seen as the Actual Results vs Desired Results. Any discrepancy, where Actual is less than Desired, could constitute the performance improvement zone.

Performance planning occurs when goals and objectives are established.

Performance coaching
occurs when a coach (using the directive coaching) intervenes and provides feedback for the purpose of improving performance (see below for further details)
 
Performance measurement standards are communicated to athletes with expectations for their position/sport.  
 
Performance measurement is the process of assessing progress toward achieving predetermined goals, while performance management is building on that process adding the relevant communication and action on the progress achieved against these predetermined goals. To provide this direction, coachees communicate to athletes what is expected of them, define satisfactory performance for those expectations, and then monitor and evaluate the performance on an on going basis.
 
Performance Management is an ongoing dialogue between the coach and athletes that links expectations, ongoing feedback and coaching, performance evaluations, development planning, and follow-up. Performance management should be both Strategic (about broader issues and longer-term goals) and Integrated (linking various aspects of the individuals, teams and goals/strategic objectives). It should provide the means to link individual and team performance with a team's mission.
 
Performance Coaching Feedback is a process by which the coach provides effective and constructive feedback on the athlete's performance of learned skills. Effective performance is reinforced and less-than-desirable performance is worked on to improve. Feedback should be information that highlights strengths, positive behavior and a means for skills critiquing, encouragement of new learning and the explanation of the relationship between what is expected and what has been accomplished after the athlete's efforts are executed. Feedback can take many forms; it can be informal or formal.

Performance Evaluations provide a comparison of actual task performance to established performance measurement standards. As a best practice, the coach and athlete regularly discuss expectations, performance standards and objectives, set expectations, gather data, and provide on going feedback to athletes to assist them in utilizing their mental and physical skills, expertise and strategies to produce enhanced results. To provide this direction, data is gathered to provide ongoing feedback to athletes regarding their performance. 

 
Performance appraisal occurs when individual performance is formally documented and feedback is delivered.
 
Performance improvement is any effort targeted at closing the gap between Actual Results and Desired Results.
