Mental Game Preparation

A comprehensive plan to execute before, during and after an event — built around how the athlete already prepares.

Athletes have different means of practice and game preparation. Some use music, relaxation techniques or solitude before a contest. VRC will help you improve your preparation for events through many techniques in applied sports psychology, including visualization and relaxation. VRC offers a comprehensive plan for you as a competitor to execute before, during and after your event. I will help you improve your mental game preparation by building an intervention plan that fits your style — just as you, as an athlete, demonstrate persistence, competitiveness, resilience, attentional focus and optimism.

Athletic scenario: mental game preparation

One of my clients had concerns about performing on stage before a body building event. We installed a game plan of early morning light music followed by progressive muscle relaxation breathing techniques. Right before competition the client came up with a cue phrase to relax her. Her goal in her first competition was to place fifth overall, and she was ecstatic to reach it.
