Mindset Coaching with Garren
Garren works with every client to develop a personalized mental training and performance plan. These plans are based on the age and experience level of the client, current mental strategies that may or may not be working for the client and goals the client has in mind for their performance. Garren believes in a collaborative working relationship and prides himself on getting to know and understand his clients. It is through this collaborative working relationship that Garren combines his expertise and and experience with the unique needs of his individual clients.
Much of the work Garren does falls into (but not limited to) these general areas of sport and performance psychology:
Building Self Awareness
Discover where your mental game is now as well as what is and is not helping you perform your best. Understanding your habits and tendencies when training and performing is a crucial step to developing mental training and performance plans. Building self-awareness is all about identifying the mental aspects critical for your sport, your personal approach to the game, and continuing to self-assess as you develop, grow and learn.
Sport and Performance Psychology Education
Garren teaches concepts and techniques based in the science of sport psychology to help clients understand how their brain, body and mental approach all impact the ability to perform. Learn the strategies that will help you be at your best as often as possible and why they work.
Performance Strategies
Learn how to apply sport and performance psychology techniques to competition and performance. Create a mental performance plan that you can use to perform to your potential more consistently when it matters the most.
Developmental Strategies
Incorporating sport psychology into practice and training can help you develop your physical skills and abilities more efficiently as well as ensure your effort in practice transfers to competition. Garren also works with his clients to develop plans for practicing mental skills in order to better utilize them in training and competition.
