[av_dropcap1]I[/av_dropcap1]t caused a lot of pain physically and emotionally, but it connected who I was with who I would become from that event. That’s the importance of hinge moments and mental toughness. A Sport Psychology coach was the result and if you want the whole background of why I entered the field, check out the story of how an Olympic Gold Medalist and I shared a Hinge Moment.
Here’s some more upbeat, positive background fodder about me:
- I was the mental coach for three different winners on the PGA Tour, Indy Eleven, and University of Notre Dame
- I was mental coach for a medalist at the Rio Olympics
- I was the sport psychology coach for the 2013 USTA National Champion
- I have also caddied over 20+ events on the PGA Tour
- Written eight (8) books on Mental Toughness and have an awesome sport psychology podcast-Mental Toughness Podcast with Dr. Rob Bell
