"It gave me enormous satisfaction to see Lydia Lassila     claim her well deserved GOLD MEDAL!

I have worked with Lydia over the past 2 years helping her prepare mentally and emotionally for that event!  Last year I helped her prepare for the World championships - which she won.  She has followed that up this year by winning two gold medals in the world cup events, setting a new world record score, and now winning the Olympic Gold medal!

Two of the mental skills which I taught Lydia are visualisation and emotion management – staying in the performance zone. 

Both these essential skills will be covered in the forthcoming Sportsmind Mental Mastery program at the Sports Super Centre in January."

Jeffrey Hodges, Director, Sportsmind Institute

Here is what Lydia says about Sportsmind :
"Jeffrey, your Sportsmind training program takes mental training to a level that I didn’t know existed. My expectations were to learn mental skills that would help me perform better. Not only have I achieved this, but I now know myself at a different level. I have analyzed all the aspects that make up me: my thoughts, emotions, beliefs and values. I have learned to take control over them, empowering me to shape my own future. Many thanks"

"As someone who has competed at an elite level for over ten years, I have learnt many skills physically and mentally which work to optimise performance. However I think it has only been in the last few years of my career in the sport of Springboard Diving that I have truly began to understand and utilise mental training techniques for training and competition. It has become undeniably clear to me that no matter how hard you prepare yourself physically, if you don’t understand and invest in mental training your full potential will remain unlocked.

Jeffrey Hodges and his Sportsmind program taught me invaluable skills in mental training. I also attended the Coaching Excellence Conference last year which was both educational and inspiring. Jeffrey breaks down his theories and techniques into such easily understandable and undeniable clarity that I found I came out the other side of the two day conference with a complete positive change of headspace, which I have managed to bring to my training and competitions this year.

I recently competed in the FINA Diving Grand Prix in Spain and won a silver medal - my most significant result to date. Earlier this year I also achieved a personal best score at the Australian Open Championships. I honestly believe that without the focus I have put on mental training through the Sportsmind program and the concepts I gained from the Coaching Excellence Conference I would not have improved my diving anywhere near as much, and I would not have achieved my most exciting results.

Any athlete or coach who is serious about excelling in their sport, must invest in mental training. As the standard of all sports internationally progresses an open mind in essential in finding new ways to improve. Mental training is the key, and one that is too often underestimated. The Sportsmind program and the Coaching Excellence Conferences are revolutionary in mental training and will, without question, significantly improve performance in any sport.”
