TEAMS

Team consultations are designed to increase teamwork, cohesion and communication among team members. Skills covered in team consultations may include leadership development, goal setting, focus, and imagery. Erika interactively assesses the needs of the team and its individuals and designs a program tailored to the specific needs. The number of sessions for each team will be negotiated.

 

 

LEADERSHIP

Leadership is required to excel in sports and life. It is often said that leaders are born, it is our philosophy that leaders can be made. Team leaders and captains must have confidence, strong character, stay composed under pressure, and understand their own personal strengths and weakness. All of these characteristics can be developed and further enhanced through education and self-awareness. We offer a comprehensive leadership education program for groups of 4 or more.


Leadership – Leading by Example and Vocal leadership

 

COACHING EDUCATION

Coaching education is designed to educate coaches on the sport psychology skills enabling them to become more effective coaches. From a coaching perspective, the better they understand and meet the needs of their athletes the more likely their messages will be heard and used. As coaches learn to incorporate mental skills into their practice and training, athletes will begin to develop the skills and become mentally tougher and ultimately perform better for their teams. Coaching education can be arranged for individual coaches or an entire coaching staff through seminar format or multiple workshops.

PARENT EDUCATION
Workshops to benefit the parents of athletes are also offered. The athletic experience is often not just that of the athlete but also the experience of the parents' involvement. Parents are not only involved in the driving to and from practice and financial support but more importantly parents are often the greatest influence on their young athletes psychology. Understanding how to positively support and encourage young athletes can greatly attribute to life long enjoyment and success in athletics for both athletes and parents. Workshops and seminars are offered regularly.
