PEAK PERFORMANCE CONSULTING

Athletes // Teams // Business and Medical Professionals

When it comes to peak performance, that thing between your ears can be your biggest ally or your biggest opponent. The ability to perform up to your ability depends critically on your mindset: are you threatened or are you challenged?

The Threatened Mindset: Feeling threatened in the face of a stressful event sets off a cascade of negative events that impairs your ability to perform. Your mind races or goes blank, you can feel your heart in your chest, your palms get sweaty, breathing becomes shorter, knots form in your stomach…we’ve all been there! The threatened mindset activates our fight or flight mode. That is, your mind can’t distinguish if you’re being chased by a bear or if you’re about to attempt the biggest free throw of your life! Although the free throw may feel like it, it’s certainly not life or death. 

The Challenge Mindset: When you approach a stressful event with a challenge mindset, you quiet your fight or flight response. You’re able to recognize and assess the threat and realize that shooting this free throw is not the same as being chased by a bear. No matter what, you will survive! The ability to summon the challenge mindset is the difference between choking under pressure and thriving under it!

Lucky for you, being chased by a bear is no longer a reality for most, which means the challenge mindset can be safely summoned. But how? Dr. Doug utilizes an individualized approach and works collaboratively with his clients to help them achieve the 3 As of the challenge mindset: Awareness, Accountability, Action.  By helping you become Aware of your mindset, by being Accountable to the techniques you develop, and by putting them in Action, you too can thrive under pressure and achieve peak performance!
