PERFORMANCE
MVP Performance offers specialized consultancy services for athletes, teams, and coaches of all levels, aimed at unlocking your full potential.
While the mental aspect of sports performance is increasingly recognized and touted as arguably the most important aspect of performance, it is often undertrained compared to the technical, physical, and tactical sides of the game.
​
This is where Mental Performance Coach, Taurean Manders, steps in.
Be Mindful
Do you struggle with concentrating on what's in front of you? Does your mind wander during competition, training, or preparation? Are you worried about what will happen? Don’t worry, these are problems every athlete experiences at some point in their careers at any level. “Control the controllables!” I am sure you have heard this from coaches, teammates, friends, and parents. But how many of them actually explain how to do this? Being mindful can help in all these circumstances. By intentionally focusing attention on the present moment with acceptance and awareness, you can have a better chance of performing at your best.
Be VERSATILE
Sport can throw different challenges at you. It is important that you develop the ability to adapt to these challenges. Challenges come in all different forms; during competition or training, pre and post competition, injuries, bad spells in form etc. Understanding that all of this is part of the journey is the first obstacle and can prepare you to be flexible when confronted with any challenge.
Strive for Peak
Yes, it is impossible to play the best you can every single match or practice, but this does not mean you can’t put yourself in the right mindset prior to competition or training so you are prepared to be at your best each time. You learn and gain more from putting the work in every single time. Satisfaction comes from knowing you did everything you could and understanding that you can learn from each performance.
