HeartMath Performance Training I

Success in sport is not a matter of chance…

As athletes we invest a great deal of time, energy and resources to ensure we are prepared for competition. Many athletes focus a great deal of time and energy on the physical and technical components of training and exclude the mental components of training. Great psychology will not always overcome the lack of physical ability or technical skill. It can however, play a key role in attaining optimum performance.

Every athlete, no matter the age or level needs a strong connection between the mind and the body. Too often athletes neglect training their mental skills and yet in the heat of competition and in life itself athletes make mental errors that ultimately influence the outcome of competition and success in life.



Mental Conditioning
is the process of building the mental skills that help athletes reach their goals and compete at their best on any given day in any given situation. Our mission is to simply ‘optimize mental performance through education, support and application’.

  • Education: To help train the basic tools and techniques for effective mental performance.
  • Support: Help athletes develop a personalized and appropriate profile for their sport and performance needs.
  • Application: To transfer mental conditioning into the competitive arena of life and sport.

The Mental Conditioning Division has developed a core curriculum based on academic and real-world lessons from the fields of science and some of the most successful athletes in the world. This addresses the need to manage our awareness, energy, thoughts, relationships and our ability to not just ‘say’, but ‘do’!
