Inner TacticsWhat if you could discover how your athlete’s mind is wired? Better yet, what if you knew the exact make-up of your athlete’s mental map that would give you insight as to how to leverage their inner strengths and address any potential areas of weakness?

For the first time in the history of sport psychology, there is now a performance profile that can answer both of these questions. In fact, this profile is so unique that it has little to do with the traditional field of sports psychology.

While athletic success is reliant upon physical abilities, it is the mental ability to make clear and quick decisions in the heat of play that separates the good from the truly great sports heroes. In fact, what if you had the following mental edge characteristics shared by each of these all time sports heroes?

David Beckham- self-confidence

Peyton Manning- game intelligence

Lance Armstrong- determination

Michael Jordan- competitive fire

Mia Hamm- great game vision

Tiger Woods- focus, concentration

Andre Agassi- fast mind speed

Manny Ramirez- clutch performer

Steve Nash- decision making ability

Maria Sharapova- self-motivated

Based on the field of Axiological Psychology (the science of human value), we can now logically and mathematically identify an athlete’s decision making pattern. Why is this such a powerful tool for teams, coaches, agents, and individual athletes? Here are just a few of the reasons…

  • Identify what area of decision making gets the most attention in an athlete’s decision making pattern
  • Discover how an athlete listens and communicates information
  • Determine if an athlete can handle high stress situations
  • Identify capacity for game intelligence
  • The ability to scientifically breakdown fear
  • Get to the root cause of a sports slump
  • Gain a clear understanding of an injured athlete’s mental state
  • Discover your team's mental strength's and weaknesses
  • Identify the mental health of your team
  • Plus much more!

Take a look at the example below regarding player selection on a team:

Say that two players are competing for the same position on a successful team. In order to determine who gets the position, physical and mental attributes are considered. Both players share the same physical qualities of speed, strength, and power. However, regarding clarity of judgment, player A has the ability to quickly determine what is happening and how to cope or resolve the situation. Player B does not have this ability, and therefore struggles with making critical decisions that can drastically change the game when it counts the most. Which player should be selected for the position?

If You Have Tried Traditional Sports Psychology Methods before...

The majority of mental training resources show the athlete what steps they think should be taken to try and get into the ‘Zone’ state of mind, for example, how to improve focus, become mentally tough, and overcome nervousness. However, wouldn’t the coach or the athlete first need to know the strengths and weaknesses of their own thinking patterns? What if one or more of the suggestions from these resources bear little meaning or value simply because the athlete is wired a different way?

Never before have coaches and parents had access to measuring their athlete’s inner potential as it relates to decision making ability. While traditional sports psychology focuses primarily in the areas of behavior and social concepts, the InnerTactics for Sport profile measures HOW an athlete actually thinks. This information gives great insight into how best to communicate with athletes and how to leverage their mental strengths and manage any area(s) of potential weakness.
