Session 1 — Assessment + Clarity + Game Plan

Goal: Understand what’s happening, when it shows up, and what we’re attacking first.

What we do:

• Intake + performance history (what sport demands, current stressors, what’s been tried)

• Identify your “pressure pattern” (triggers → body response → thoughts → behaviors → performance result)

• Establish 1–2 measurable goals (symptoms + performance behavior)

• Start Mindset Direction + Regulation Tools:

• Mindset Direction = your operating stance (how you want to interpret pressure)

• Regulation Tools = your state support (how you get your mind/body into the zone that makes that stance possible)

• Start your first simple plan for practice and competition

Session 2 — Skill Build + Performance Plan Personalization

Goal: Skill Building personalized for you and further understanding, then how to apply to practice/competition. 

What we do:

• Review your tracking (what we like / not like from 1st meeting)

• Further Skill Build with 1–3 core skills:

  • Body regulation / energy management

  • Cognitive Control / thought management

  • Behavior response / actions

• Build your Routine/ Protocol (what you do after mistakes / Pressure spikes)

• Address performance blockers (confidence, fears, coach, situations)

• How to further apply in practice, home, work/school, competition). 

Session 3 — Pressure Proofing + Routine Installation

Goal: Make sure your plan is solid, feels doable/repeatable and helpful.

What we do:

• Track progress and adjust (remove what’s not working, simplify what is)

• Solidify your Performance Plan (simple, repeatable)

• Address any blockers still present (perfectionism, fear of messing up, confidence)

• Practice: walk-through or visualization of key moments (If - then work)

Session 4 — Recap + Final Assessment + Next Step Path

Goal: Measure change, lock in what works, and choose the right next step.

What we do:

• Re-do the assessments (compare baseline to now)

• Review progress: symptoms, awareness, behavior, performance response

• Identify what moved and what didn’t (and why)

• Finalize your personalized Performance Plan

• Choose your path forward:

1) Maintain — you’re improving and can self-manage
2) Build — it’s working but needs more reps/support
3) Pivot — the blocker isn’t skills; we adjust the approach (readiness, environment, clinical support, etc.)

This 4-session sprint is a great fit for an athlete who:

• Has a clear, specific performance need they want to improve (1–3 targets), like pre-game anxiety, pressure moments, or bouncing back after mistakes.

• Is motivated to do some work , an athlete who is excited and ready to learn, work, try, and change.

• Needs attention fast because a season, tryout, playoff stretch, return from injury, or bigger competition is coming up.

• Wants a plan—not just talks and does well with structure, routines, and clear steps.

• Is ready for real change and wants to take their mental and physical performance to the next level.

What this PROGRAM ISN’T

• Not a guarantee. There are no promises that the first plan will be the perfect fit. But you will leave with clearer awareness of what’s happening, what helps, and what needs to change next.

• Not a quick fix in one session. Mental skills don’t “work” because we talked about them once. They work because you repeat them until your brain trusts them under pressure.

• Not endless sessions without action. This is not open-ended weekly therapy with no structure. We focus on skill implementation, routines, and real-life application.

• Not solving everything at once. We’re not trying to fix your entire mindset or your whole life. We’re attacking a small number of high-impact moments that disrupt performance.
