You have put in the hours in the gym and on the field. But when the pressure is on, does your mind work for you or against you?
This 10 sessions program teaches you the exact mental frameworks used by professional athletes. You will learn how to control your internal dialogue, manage pre-game nerves, quickly reset after a mistake, and stay locked in on the present moment. Built on the same system Coach Dave Boyer developed during 33+ years in the NBA and NHL, this is the mental edge most athletes never receive.
Mental skills are not something you are born with. They are trainable, just like physical strength. And this program proves it.
MENTAL PERFORMANCE encompasses the COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL, and BEHAVIORAL factors that influence an individual’s ability to perform optimally in various situations.
Its application of mental skills is essential for optimizing both abilities and overall well-being — cultivating tools such as confidence, focus, and resilience that are vital for enhancing sports performance.

Mindset
Decision-making, attention, focus, and processing information under pressure. An athlete who stays tactically sharp in the final minutes of a close game is demonstrating cognitive mastery.
Managing anxiety, excitement, frustration, and confidence in real time. A player who channels pre-game nerves into sharp, energized focus has trained their emotional regulation.
Consistent routines, resilience after mistakes, and disciplined preparation habits. An athlete who maintains their process routine regardless of score or outcome has behavioral control.

Perception vs. perspective, personal and technical thoughts, and reframing your mindset.
Emotional intelligence, intensity regulation, conscious breathing, and mindset reset tools.
Long-term, seasonal, and daily goal imagery techniques to build motivation and precision.
Present-moment focus, body scan, breathing techniques, and the 5-senses grounding reset.
Guided and self-directed meditation practices that build mental clarity and deepen focus.
Fixed vs. growth mindset, reframing limiting beliefs, and building new mental habits through deliberate practice.
Breathing as a performance tool, including box breathing, 4-7-8, and belly breathing for regulation and recovery.
The power of internal dialogue. Build positive, performance-driven self-talk to replace negative thought loops.
The program gives you the tools. A session with our Mental Performance Coach helps you use them.
You have the mental performance manual, the personality assessment, and the foundational framework. But knowing what to do and knowing how to apply it are two different things. That is where Mental Performance Coach steps in. In a private 1-on-1 session, Coach works directly with you to bridge the gap between understanding and action, helping you implement the mental skills in your specific sport, situation, and mindset.
Your role is the logistical person. You pay for it, you feed them, you get them to practice. But their mental development and competitive growth is their responsibility.
Dave tells parents: "Your whole objective is paying for the entertainment of watching your kid succeed, grow, and develop. That is where both of you will have the most enjoyment."
Whether your athlete is recovering from an injury or struggling with confidence, Mental Performance Coach walks you through the mental stages they are experiencing, the same ones that most coaches, trainers, and even school mental performance coaches never explain.
