At Trained Brain we believe you take the mind and body and train them together to perform at a higher level.
But whilst the body has its physical limits, the mind has infinite room for growth and improvement. Yet the mind
usually gives in before the body.
We cater for all levels of sports working with both professionals and amateurs to help them raise their game. A number
of options are available from introductory team workshops to player consultations to multi day seminars. Training your brain has been made practical for immediate application to your sport.
When addressing the mental game and Sports Psychology
most athletes are fixing a problem, trying to interrupt a limiting pattern.
Sports psychology has in the past been very complex. It is very rare that
an athlete says "I want to work at this area and develop it
now". What is possible for you if you develop your mental
strength? What will happen to you and your performances if you don't develop
these sports psychology skills? What will come of your beliefs, decision
making, and your identity?
Trained Brain Player Consultations
A player consultation and set of sessions for those looking to fine tune their mental skills a player consultation with one of our team will enhance this over looked segment that contributes to success. Individual coaching sessions are tailored to you to and allow you to develop new skills and review progress from session to session. Our programmes are tailored for different sports. These tools have been tested at the highest levels of sports from the The Ashes, Premier League, World Snooker Championships, World Rally Championships to the Ryder Cup.
Trained Brain Skills
If the mental game accounts for a large percentage of the game, then
why are players or coaches not spending time working on it? Where does
a player of any standard go for a lesson on the mental
game?
The skills and knowledge of a trained Sports Psychologist have been limited
to those who have an educational background and studied at university.
These skills are now being made available to all coaching professionals
who want to expand their repertoire of coaching skills and become the
ultimate coach who can “Train both the Sporting Action
and Train the Brain”.
“Learning comes from experience anything else is just information”
Albert
Einstein

Inner Game Workshops
The Inner Game Workshops are designed to be interactive where players
and members of teams can develop usable techniques and tools to apply
immediately to their game. This usually involves audience participation
with exercises. One of the most talked about mental tools is the breathing
exercise. Research suggests that to improve performance you should learn
how to control the heart rate which in turn dictates your own level of
arousal given a certain performance situation.
This ability to master the arousal levels will lead to the ideal you require for peak performance. When
a player gets sent off during a football match or sin binned you can bet
the arousal level on a scale of 1 to 10 was at 15! The ability to control
and bring it down to a level that will allow the player to perform at
their peak is a primary skill and yet athletes
are not taught this. At all Inner Game Workshops we teach some of these
important skills to the group.
