mental performance training

Performing at the highest levels requires athletes to overcome barriers to optimal performance.  

You may benefit from working with our mental performance coaches if you find yourself saying… 

  • I don’t perform as well in games/competitions as I do in practices

  • My performance in “big” games/competitions drops compared to regular games/competitions

  • I have difficulty concentrating or frequently lose focus

  • I have difficulty recovering from setbacks

  • I’m coming back from an injury and don’t feel confident

  • I wish my performances were more consistent

  • I have a hard time dealing with my high-stress or high-risk occupation

    T3 Performance in Avon, OH located outside of Cleveland and virtual.

  • When are your office hours?
    Clients and customers can request sessions with our front desk at (440) 934-2244. They have full availability!

  • How long does the training process take?
    Everyone is different our training process is solely dependent on you and what you want to accomplish. Once we meet and get to know each other a bit better we can create a game plan for you or your team. Our training could only be a few sessions or long-lasting for years!

  • How long are the training sessions?
    Sessions are either 30 or 60 minutes in length. We generally recommend a 30-minute session for youth athletes.

  • How do I schedule a session?
    We offer a free complimentary 30-minute session so we can discuss what brings you in and we can share with you how this type of training may help you. If we decide it’s a good fit, we can then set up our first formal training session. If this is for a youth athlete, I like to meet with the parent at the end of our first session.

  • Is there paperwork I must complete?
    Yes. After our initial consult session, you will be provided with a short intake form which you will need to complete prior to the next scheduled session.

  • How do I make payments?
    You will be get set up with our electronic billing with the front desk staff.

  • What is your cancellation policy?
    Yes. There is a 24-hour cancellation policy. All appointments canceled after the 24-hour window will be charged the full session fee. In the case of a “package”, that customer will forfeit one session from the agreed-upon number of total sessions.

  • What should I expect for my first initial session?
    This is where we'll meet each other and chat about what you do and hope to accomplish. We’ll also discuss confidentiality. We will talk about what is bringing you into therapy and begin to explore what might be most helpful to you.

  • Do I need to be an athlete?
    A common misconception is that sports and performance psychology exists only to help elite athletes win. In reality, sports and performance psychology professionals support people at every age and across a variety of performance contexts, including the following:

    ·       Sport (athletes and coaches)

    ·       Exercise (persons of all ages and activity levels)

    ·       Tactical (military, firefighters, police)

    ·       Performing Arts (dancers and musicians) 

    ·       Business (executives) 

  • Do you work with youth?
    Yes. I am open to introducing younger performers, with the earliest being 8 years, to the basics of mental skills training.

  • What if I live far away? Can we work online?
    We offer my services virtually so we can train from anywhere!

Don’t just take our word for it, check out what the clients have to say about our Mental Performance Program:

““T3 Performance has not only allowed me to become the best physical athlete I can be, but through my mental training, I am a confident competitor. Molly has taken my game to another level, and I have learned how to deal and overcome anything that life may throw my way.””
““I have had almost no anxiety at my challenging practices. I am now in more control by utilizing my breathwork and muscle relaxation. My perspective is different. I see challenges as something that pushes me.””
““I feel more in control with my thoughts and feelings. I now know when these feelings come, and how I am able to better deal with them instead of just pushing them down and locking them away to come again later. I’ve been better at thinking about a response, instead of reacting. It’s helped me deal with stress and other things more easily, both on and off the baseball field.””
