Next Play offers cognitive performance training to assist athletes and performers to compete at a more consistent, optimal level. We work with athletes to develop their mental approach to enhance resilience, overcome obstacles, and elevate performance. Whether you compete professionally or recreationally, mental performance training can help you take your game to the next stage.
The first session will include a questionnaire or assessment to gauge how the individual currently utilizes mental skills, assess their strengths, recognize areas for improvement, and answer any questions the individual or consultant may have. This is to get to know one another, and make sure the fit is right on both sides. We will get a better understanding of your "Why" and create a plan to get you performing at the level you want to perform at. Whether you are new to practicing mental skills, or you have used them before, individual sessions are made for you.
Each session is tailored to the individual. We aim to discuss specific issues impacting performance, enhancing awareness on how one thinks and acts, and how to build our mental toolbox to be able to thrive in any situation sport or life throws at us. Because every individual is unique, there is no set schedule that has to be followed. Common topics are thriving under pressure, dealing with performance anxiety, attention control, imagery, redefining failure, emotional management, and much more. We will create a personalized plan to meet the goals you want to achieve.
Sessions are held over zoom, in person, or over the phone depending on availability and location. In each session we will discuss performance, feedback, and observations recognized from practice and competition from the individual themselves. We will also discuss and apply different mental performance techniques for the individual to try going forward. At the end of each session, the individual will receive mental skill exercises or other applied material to practice what had been discussed during the session.
Team sessions are great to build culture and cohesion, better communication skills, and learn more about the dynamics of your team. First, we meet with coaches and/or leaders to understand team needs and what the team can benefit from. Other topics can include confidence, mental toughness, energy management, setting goals, and many more. Sessions are held over zoom or in person, depending on availability and location.
