Build Competitors Who Thrive Under Pressure

---

 As I prepared for one of the biggest training sessions of my life, Pro Day at Stanford University, I was introduced to Dr. Dutch and TierOne.  In addition to becoming a close friend and mentor, Dutch provided me with incredible insight through his mental skills training program.  Through his techniques, I was able to sharpen my mind, have laser focus, and exceed expectations at Pro Day (clocking personal bests in every single event in front of the NFL Scouts).  TierOne simplifies the complex neuroscience and does a thorough job sharing the "whys" of sports mental skills training.  I strongly recommend their mental skills development program to people in all phases of life, especially athletes.  Dutch is a world-class individual that provides world-class training. 

 The training provided by Dr. Dutch and TierOne helped me to become a more proficient coach not only because of the ability to implement mind training, but also because I better understand the intrinsic barriers to learning and performance my players encounter. I use what I have learned on the field and in meetings. As a bonus, I'm now able to evaluate myself as a coach in regards to focus and in-game performance. Using the training on myself, I have become a more attentive, calmer, and fulfilled mentor to my players. 

 It’s one thing to tell your athletes to be mentally tough, yet another thing to teach them HOW to be mentally tough.  Dr. Dutch and his TierOne mental skills development program teach you HOW to teach your athletes to be mentally tough – giving your athletes the ability to keep their minds on what matters NOW, in the stress of the moment, in the heat of competition. 

 I think we are on the right track now and I value the data from the TierOne Recruiting Assessment Questionnaire.  We are starting to accumulate data that will make our recruiting decisions better in the future.
