You Will Learn:

Week #1
How to Achieve Maximum Confidence in Big Competitions
Being mentally tough is about one thing: how to handle fear and performance anxiety in your most important competitions.

You'll get step-by-step instructions by me on how to create positive emotions and master negative emotions using the latest cutting edge research.

You'll check your existing strategies for dealing with emotions, and I'll help you personally re-fine them. If you don't have any strategies, I'll help you create some.

You'll also start to look at what's working and what's not working for you to create and keep maximum confidence in big competitions right away.

You will discover the following:

The 10 strategies to gain confidence that never work—yet athletes always try
What your competitors are doing to put pressure on themselves—and how you can avoid this trap
How great athletes create an internal environment for themselves in which they do not feel pressure
Mark Tewksbury's mental secret for capturing an Olympic gold medal in swimming (it will surprise you!)
Four killer strategies to reduce your performance anxiety in sport
The truth about negative emotions in competition and how you can use these emotions to your advantage
Why trying to get rid of fear causes you to choke (and what to do instead)
Why criticizing yourself destroys your confidence

“Lisa helped me "cut to the chase" and identify those things that were holding me back from attaining the mental edge I needed.”

Have you ever heard the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Well, I was broke and I knew it. I knew in my heart I had what it took physically to do my job on the pitching mound. Emotionally and mentally, I was taking myself out of any chance of peak performance. Just as I knew I needed a jump start to my mental game, I knew Lisa was the person who could help me identify the root of my downward spiral. The mental game is not a 'sometime' thing. It must be on an all the time thing if you are to find success. Lisa helped me "cut to the chase" and identify those things that were holding me back from attaining the mental edge I needed. Together we created a mental plan of attack that allowed me to stay empowered regardless of the circumstances.

Lori Sippel, 1996 Olympian & 1998 Captain, Olympic Women's Softball team

“This course has helped me gain a lot of confidence in every day life and in my sport.”

Mental toughness training for sport was a great course!

I really like the way Lisa explained all the concepts--they are easy to read and understand.

I loved the examples from other athletes. Many were the same as mine, and I liked knowing my answers weren't weird. This course has helped me gain a lot of confidence in every day life and in my sport. I wouldn't change anything about this course.

Marliese Miller, Curling

Week #2
How to Deal with Distractions and Adversity in Competition
If you've been competing for any length of time, you've had bad things happen to you: a poor start, being given a role on a team you don't want, or having a teammate or coach discourage you.

Most athletes are not in control of their performance. If circumstances are good, they perform well; but when things don't go their way, they tend to perform poorly. The very best athletes know exactly how to re-focus when bad things happen to them in competition.

I will show you exactly how to identify your stressors and how to overcome them so you can stay on your “A” game no matter what.

You will discover the following:

Why you criticize yourself while competing—and how to do this constructively rather than destructively
Which stressors or “distractions” bother you the most
Four breakthrough methods for handling adversity when you encounter it in competition
A simple, yet surprisingly effective method for staying resilient in the face of distractions
How to channel frustration and disappointment and turn them into a peak performance

“Lisa has the athletes look Inside themselves...I'm a better coach today”

Lisa Brown has worked closely with me and my teams and I can honestly say that the work she does Is very different from other performance consultants. That's because Lisa has the athletes look Inside themselves rather than outside themselves to solve their performance problems. She has them confront their Inner barriers and access their self-confidence. In my experience, most performance enhancement work Is really a compilation of nice words on a piece of paper from an Intellectual perspective. I'm a better coach today because I know how to look beyond the x's and o's of the game and can relate to my athletes better.

Shawnee Harlee, Head Coach, University of Calgary Women's Basketball Team

“I got in touch with my desire, my motivation to win, and 'the dream'.”

Working on my mental toughness with Lisa, I discovered some underlying thinking patterns that were keeping me from getting the results I deserved in competition. With Lisa, I got in touch with my desire, my motivation to win, and 'the dream'. I was able to focus intensely in training and realized how much I love my sport. Lisa really listened to me...because of her competitive background, she really understood what I was going through.

Brooke Harris, 1998 Canadian Jr. Badminton Doubles Champion

“I know that the work I have done with [Lisa] over the past month or so was part of the reason for my success at my most recent high performance camp!”

The course has been very enlightening and gratifying. It has moved me further along the road to success and will help me for years to come. I have enjoyed the assignments and the feedback provided. I know that the work I have done with you over the past month or so was part of the reason for my success at my most recent high performance camp!

Keith Uthe, High Performance Basketball Official

Week #3
How to Prepare Yourself to Compete with Total Confidence
All athletes know that there's nothing like an excellent start to put them in a confident, relaxed frame of mind. A great start takes pressure off you and allows you to have fun while competing.
I will help you develop a customized, dynamite pre-competition routine that will get you psyched right from the very start of your event.

and...

How to Handle Coaches, Teammates, or Competitors Who Treat You Poorly or Underrate You
No matter how mentally tough you are, your environment affects you. You need to feel that you have the support of your coaches, team mates, and family in order to pull off consistently great performances.

I will give you specific strategies for gaining the trust of the people around you – and for handling any problems they might throw your way. You can also send me specific questions about how to handle these issues and I will give you winning formula to resolve them.

You will learn the following:

“This course is changing me...I am growing.”

This course is changing me. It is changing everything about my life. I have learned how human beings work…not just in sport but in life in general. I have taught my family about the things you teach me. They are mesmerized by what I read them. To understand human emotion changes the way I think and look at myself, and others around me. I am growing.

Leah Hepner, Figure Skating

“Lisa, I can honestly say that this course has taught me a lot about myself as a player.”

Lisa, I can honestly say that this course has taught me a lot about myself as a player. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things I do when I play, after games, before games. The whole blame andd suppression and just mental control are things that I knew I was doing but not to the extent that you helped me to see.

Chantal Corbett, Basketball

“...Lisa's teaching of it is a must for anyone interested in excelling at a high level.”

You can have everything--all the skill it takes--but you will never achieve your goals if you don't have mental toughness...and Lisa's teaching of it is a must for anyone interested in excelling at a high level. The way Lisa teaches mental toughness allows you to understand it and apply it practically in a short period of time.

Ron Meyers, Former Director, National Curling Development Centre

Week #4
How Create Unstoppable Self-Confidence
and...
How to Handle Failure So You Come Back More Confident Than Ever
I've been in private practice with athletes for over 10 years, and their pattern is always the same: they call me about 3 weeks before their provincial, national, world, or Olympic championship to prepare for it.

This is a good idea, but what's equally important is doing mental toughness training after a major failure.

All good athletes experience failures; however, it's how you emotionally handle these losses that will determine whether or not you will leave them in the past...or re-create failure for yourself over and over again.

You will learn:

Michael Jordan's secret to creating unstoppable self-confidence
Why most athletes refuse to visualize success in their minds
A unique way to program yourself for immediate success
Why the very best athletes lose confidence and how to avoid this syndrome
How to respond to failure so you are more motivated than ever

“...Lisa Brown's work is so practical because she teaches you skills you can use right away.”

Mental toughness training gives you confidence. It's helped me play well under pressure and cope with injuries. I think it's essential if you want to perform to your potential. You owe it to yourself to do mental toughness training, and Lisa Brown's work is so practical because she teaches you skills you can use right away.

Stacy Wilson, Captain, 1998 Canadian Olympic Women's Hockey Team

“I have learned a lot about myself and how to deal with certain situations in a different manner.”

The lessons were amazing. I have learned a lot about myself and how to deal with certain situations in a different manner. I've learned that being upset with yourself is a natural reaction and there are effective ways to deal with that. I can't think of a single thing to change in this course. Thank you.

Jennifer Vejprava, Curling

“Lisa's course was incredibly helpful.”

Lisa's course was incredibly helpful. It's odd because psychology is my favourite subject in school, but my mental game was seriously lacking. My favourite part would be doing the assignments, I find that they ensure that I'm taking in what is being taught and that I'm applying the lesson on the court.

Michelle Stiphout, Basketball

Here's exactly how the online Home Study program will work:
Within minutes, you will receive an e-mail from me containing your instructions for the training. The next day, you will receive your first mental toughness lesson. It will give you specific mental strategies you can apply immediately, including mental toughness assignments for the week. Seven days after receiving your first lesson, you will automatically receive your second one. This format continues until you have completed all four lessons. To gain full benefit, you'll want to devote two hours to this course every week for 4 weeks.

How much will this cost? If you attended one of my seminars, the training would cost you at least $500 and there would be limited time for your questions. If you came to me for in-person coaching, the fee for 4 weeks would be $2000 and up, because my hourly fee is $300.

But for this exclusive, limited, Home Study online program, the tuition fee is only $97 plus GST.

Imagine waking up every morning knowing exactly how approach your most pressure-filled bonspiels... knowing how to re-create your best performances... knowing how to handle disappointment so you get more mentally tough each season... knowing you are reaching your potential as a curler.

You probably spend 10 times this much each season on equipment, coaching, and travel expenses. Isn't it time to invest in your mental game too? Aren't your goals and dreams worth it?

100% Money Back Guarantee
Is the course guaranteed? Absolutely. Sign up now. If you're not happy with the course, tell me and you can have ALL your money back – no hassles.

The only request I have is that you participate in the entire course before deciding.

Think about this guarantee for a minute: it's exactly the same as taking home a new car, test driving it for 2 weeks, then returning the car and have the dealer say to you, “OK, here is all your money back…and, by the way, you get to keep the car too.” It's the same thing, because I can't take back from you what you will learn from me in 4 weeks.

If you have questions, e-mail me at info@lisabrown.ca. You don't need to attend lectures or do any teleconferencing. You can sit at home, or even at a beach or in a coffee shop and conduct your online program from wherever you can get email access!

To your success,
Lisa Brown, M.A.

p.s. Join me in this course, and I will teach you EXACTLY how to apply mental toughness training to your sport for maximum results.

What would your life be like if you had the ability to perform at the upper limit of your talent—consistently? This is the mental toughness ability that separates athletes who reach their goals from athletes who do not.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this course”

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The part that I appreciate the most is the feedback on my own specific assignments. I found that to be so valuable. I also really liked lesson #2 that offered a whole array of different techniques for getting “back on track”. The more tools I have in my arsenal, the better!

Cori Bartel, Curling

“The lessons went beyond my expectations!”

The course was excellent. I learned so many things and look forward to using and improving on the tools you have given us. I have a much better understanding of myself as an athlete as well as my emotions. The lessons went beyond my expectations!

Marcus Kennedy

“The course has been very insightful for me as a competitor and as a person”

The course has been very insightful for me as a competitor and as a person (in relationships either with my spouse or fellow teammates or competitors). Forcing me to become aware of my emotions and how to deal with them in a real and positive way has been the most rewarding.

Gord Dewar, Curling

“It has taken some pressure off of me”

This whole concept of me being able to manage feelings of low confidence is very timely for me. It's nice to be reminded that doubt and fear are normal. It has taken some pressure off of me.

Susan O'Connor, Curling
