CHANGE IS INEVITABLE
GROWTH IS OPTIONAL
Do you want to approach your potential and guarantee success on the diamond? Do you work hard and have the capability, but lack consistency? Do you want to perform well under pressure and win most of your very close games? Of course you do, so please understand that the way to achieve these goals is not by improving your phyiscal skills, but by improving your mental skills such as confidence, focus, attitude, teamwork, and courage. To succeed, you need a plan that is guaranteed to work if you execute it precisely. This seminar will give you distinctions about how to "win" the mental side of the game by clarifying the three steps of a BEST EFFORT performance, developing your self-awareness, and providing you with strategies for anchoring successful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Today’s society teaches the physical skills of performance impressively well, but it’s usually a sink-or-swim world when it comes to mental skills. Help is now available! If you have invested significant time or money into your performance, but have not maxed out your potential, then you cannot afford to miss this seminar!
Why should parents attend? (Parents are free with team or individual ticket purchase!)
- To hear what sports psychologists are saying about how to "win" the mental side of the game.
- To support their daughter and her team effectively
- To gain a college coach’s perspective.
- To hear someone else tell your teenager what you have been telling her for a long time! We're teaching the same things and athletes listen when Coach Traub talks, even when it's about body language, positive attitude, and doing what's right every time.
Athletes can train their brain just like they train their body. If you’re not consistently playing your best ball, you can imitate the patterns of thought of the greatest athletes in the world so that you ‘WIN’ the mental side of the game. Here’s food for thought: avoid BAD little words like “can’t,” “gotta,” “fail,” and “should” and replace them with powerful words like “can,” “want,” “learn,” and “could / opportunity.”
What do the Pros Say?
"Thank you Aaron. You are good as I've been told. I appreciate what you do and like your approach as I feel many in your position are a little too soft. This makes them popular with athletes but also a crutch in my opinion. You are stern with your expectations and I like that."
Glenn Moore, Head Softball Coach, Baylor University
"Our girls really like Coach Traub and we definitely benefit from working with him. He gets to know me and my staff and makes it easier for us to get the girls to just do their job to the best of their ability. I like his no excuses style and his ability to get right to the point of the issues we are dealing with."
-Debbie Hedrick, UTA Softball Head Coach
“Without Coach Weintraub behind me every step of the way, there is no way I would have had the success I’ve had in college.”
-Matt Wilson, All-American, 10-3 record, 2.29 ERA, and 130 Ks in 94 Innings Pitched
"Brilliant. You did a brilliant job." Tim Mead, VP-American Baseball Coaches Association and Coordinator of Speakers for the 2010 national convention, where Coach Traub spoke.
“Aaron does a great job of presenting valuable information in a way that players can relate to and put to use. I highly recommend him to players and coaches alike.”
Steve Smith, Head Coach, Baylor University Baseball
Aaron is “very knowledgeable about the game of baseball and about coaching techniques. He knows how to coach, how to handle young people.” quoted from p. 101 of Coaching the Mental Game by Harvey Dorfman, Author and Mental Skills Coach for the MLB clients of Scott Boras.
What have attendees said about Coach Traub’s Mental Training?
“The day after your Performance Enhancement Seminar our team came back from 6 runs down and won.”
“One of the players who attended the seminar on Sunday night went 3 for 4 last night with a Grand Slam and 2 doubles. Not bad for the #9 hitter who was fighting for a starting position.”
“You said we could and would upset Poteet (ranked #1 in the state - baseball 2008 playoffs), but I wasn’t sure. Then you told us how and I believed. Then I led off the seventh of Game 3 with a double over the center fielder and then scored the winning run. We did it! It was the greatest feeling in the world! I know I earned it, but I certainly appreciate your help.”
“My daughter really got a lot out of hearing you speak and she purchased your book. This is a kid who hates reading! I’ve caught her reading it several times already.”
"Thanks again for coming out to speak at our event. Everyone I spoke to was quite impressed with your presentation. I started your book last night at the fire station and found that I could not "control" myself. It makes for great reading. I found myself trying to apply your principles to my job and how I can improve myself as a supervisor to my guys."
"We had our first game yesterday since your meeting. Wow - there was a noticeable difference. No fighting or bickering in the dugout. It was actually pleasant. Not perfect, but a great step in the right direction. We won 11-4."
What about the follow-up emails? (All Seminar participants will receive follow-up Mental Skills Tips emails free.)
"I just really wanted to let you know that I truly thank you for the time you take to email me. THANK YOU!!"
"We read all your newsletters together and your words are inspiring to Cooper who is turning 13 years old this weekend."
"Thanks Coach, I AM PINNING THIS LESSON ON MY WALL IN MY BEDROOM." (Mental Skills Tips - Attitude)
