What is Mental Skill Training (MST)?
Mental skill training (MST) derives from the field of sport & performance psychology. It entails evidence-based training and tools that assist all athletes and performers by building mental toughness, increasing resilience, understanding how to manage thoughts & emotions effectively, and increasing physical performance through the accomplishment of goals & being more consistent in their mental game. MST breaks down & addresses confidence, motivation, focus, goal-setting, and performance anxiety, also helping athletes & performers be more resilient when they face setbacks or challenges, to include performing under pressure.

Have you ever taken the time to understand how your mind really works?
Here’s what I’ll tell you, it is a complex beast that can either be used as an asset to your daily life & performance, or it can be known and used as your weakest point. Most people don’t realize the amount of control they truly have over their mind and with MST it becomes clear. You can gain that control so your mind works for you and not against you. Mental toughness is a psychological state that needs to be built, it doesn’t just happen.
As athletes, performers, & first-responders, you all understand how important it is to train your body. You need to be physically ready for your next performance, your next competition, the next time you suit up. Bottom line, it’s more than essential, it’s a must. But how often, do you take the time to dedicate towards building up your mind? You see, the brain is just like any other muscle in your body, it needs to be worked in order for it to grow and adapt. Raising your mental game is critical because without it, you become confined by how you let it control you. MST does just that, it puts you in the driver seat of your brain and helps you take your performance to the next level.
MST for First-Responders (Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS)
As a first-responder, you face high-stress situations on a daily basis. Mental skill training (MST) can help train your mind to be an asset, rather than a weakness. The moment you put that uniform on, it’s game time. It requires you to be on your toes & mentally ready for anything that can happen. This MST curriculum focuses on enhancing mental toughness and building resilience within the individual. It’s geared towards helping you stay focused under pressure, increasing your emotional regulation, and keeping you in control of your thoughts when it matters most.

MST for Athletes
Do you want to be average or do you want to be elite?
As an athlete, you understand how critical it is to stay focused when the heat is on., but what happens when you aren’t focused & you can’t get yourself back to focus on what you need to in order to perform at your best? Do you crumble underneath the pressure? Will you fail and be discouraged? Will you blame it on an external circumstance? Do you get frustrated & angry with how the performance will go? Every performer is different.
A mentally tough performer has an impenetrable belief within themselves, copes well with pressure, stays composed, remains in control, and regulates their thoughts and emotions effectively, to be at their best, during every performance. The MST I provide for athletes helps you increase mental toughness., where you apply evidence-based mental skills that are proven to increase your performance., on and off the field (court, pool, weight room, etc.).
What are you waiting for? Let’s take your performance to the next level!
