Having Strong Mind Now Easier
“It’s important for athletes and coaches to have a safe place where they can give and get feedback about their performance, from a trustworthy source,” reported Samuel Hirschberg, CEO of MentalStrength.com. “It is difficult to know how to reinforce good habits while replacing negative patterns that may be hurting one’s performance."
Camarillo, CA (PRWEB) December 22, 2004 -- A mental toughness training
company recently announced the addition of a discussion board to their popular
website.
The Mental Strength Resource Center is for athletes and coaches
to learn mental and physical training skills for sports performance. A recently
added discussion board offers a place to discuss sport psychology topics and
other training methods. “It’s important for athletes and coaches to have a safe
place where they can give and get feedback about their performance, from a
trustworthy source,” reported Samuel Hirschberg, CEO of MentalStrength.com. “It
is difficult to know how to reinforce good habits while replacing negative
patterns that may be hurting one’s performance,” Mr. Hirschberg said, “That’s
where we step in and provide the experts to help these athletes and
coaches.”
Since 1998, MentalStrength.com has helped over 8,400 athletes
and coaches with basic mental and physical fitness skills. “Our team is composed
of world class sport psychologists, athletes, and certified personal trainers,”
reports Mr. Hirschberg, who himself is a certified fitness trainer, a former
tennis professional, and chief editor of the Mental Strength
Newsletter.
When asked how the company was founded, Mr. Hirschberg said,
“I found myself competing against athletes that were bigger, taller, faster, and
more talented. I was forced to develop my mental skills, and about eight years
ago I posted information I found helpful online. Since then, countless athletes
and coaches have sought after our assistance and attribute much of their success
to what we call the slight-edge principle -- small daily adjustments in
activities, producing huge changes over time.”
The company prides
themselves on turning sport psychology, a generally difficult topic to
understand, into easy-to-use tools and techniques that all athletes can apply.
“Results are sometimes instant. But you have to remember, many athletes, usually
older ones, have built many years of bad habits. Getting past those habits can
sometimes be difficult. Once they are acknowledged, and seen by the athlete,
progress can be rapid," Mr. Hirschberg said. "Finding the negative habit is half
the battle in many cases, and evermore critical for young athletes to discover
early on.”
