Lindsey Wilson, Founder Positive Performance

Lindsey Wilson draws from 15 years as a mindset coach and nearly a decade of experience competing professionally to create mental training programs that are relevant, impactful, and attainable for athletes. She draws real-world wisdom from her relationships with some of the top trainers and athletes in her field, her hypnosis training, and her understanding of team chemistry and leadership. She backs this up with years of training and experience in the areas of mental performance training.

"Team Culture is built every day in the small things we do: what language we use, our behaviors, how we build trust. Teams and players have to be willing to do the heavy lifting. It's not easy but it's worth it. "

Mental Huddle Program Overview

Mental Huddle #1: Growth Opportunity

What it is:  Athletes discuss (1) where in their sport they find the most challenge, (2) what they can do personally to work through that challenge, and (3) how teammates and coaches can assist them.

When to use it: This Huddle can be done at any time, but can be particularly helpful as a team is getting to know one another or when there are new members on the team, because it involves athletes sharing relevant information about themselves with others.

Mental Huddle #2: Physical Toughness

What it is: This Mental Huddle is all about the mental limits that exist when physical pain is reached.

When to use it: This exercise is recommended for use when there is a lot of strength and conditioning work being done or long practices being had. The Mind/Body Exercises in your Bonus Materials can be used around the same time as the Huddle.

Mental Huddle #3: Passion

What it is: This Mental Huddle reminds athletes why they love their sport and reawakens their passion for competition.

When to use it: This Mental Huddle was developed for that time during the season or off-season when everyone is sort of tired of each other—tired of travel, tired of their sport, tired of the constant interaction. They need a little passion, they need to be reminded why they love playing, competing, and training.

Mental Huddle #4: Motivation

What it is: A frank discussion on motivation, failure, goals, and success.

When to use it: Motivation is applicable all the time, so pay attention to the pulse of your team and use this Mental Huddle when you see practices or off-season training sessions where athletes don’t seem to be ‘into it’, or when the energy level in the team just doesn’t seem very high.

Mental Huddle #5: Self-Talk

What it is: An exercise that challenges athletes to pay attention to their negative self-talk and alter it so that the language they use is more productive.

When to use it: This is a great one to do anytime, as most athletes can always improve and work on their self-talk.

Mental Huddle #6: Vision Board

What it is: An exercise that encapsulates visual reminders of goals.

When to use it: This is a great Huddle to apply during off-season/pre-season, when athletes and teams are creating their goals and vision for the upcoming year. This is a really fun exercise, so it can be thrown in to mix things up a bit. (Special Consideration: Be sure to look over the supplies needed for this Huddle! Also, normally this Mental Huddle takes a bit longer than the others, so plan on plenty of creative time when planning to do this Huddle.)

Mental Huddle #7: Expand Limits

What it is: A challenge for athletes to stop making excuses, realize where they are limiting themselves, and how they can break through to another level.

When to use it: This is a great Mental Huddle for any time, as we all can take some time to reflect on where and how we are limiting ourselves. Particular times to use this Huddle is during the season when you and your team need a little pick me up or in the off-season, when training sessions are monotonous.

Mental Huddle #8: What Not To Do

What it is: An honest discussion on what mental toughness looks like and where athletes can improve in this regard.

When to use it: This is great to implement as official practice is beginning and athletes are getting focused on the year ahead.

Situational Mental Huddles

Mental Huddle #9: The Valley

What it is: A way to reset a team when they are in ‘The Valley” a low point during the season.

When to use it: During a lull in the season, in particular when there have been multiple losses or bad performances.

Mental Huddle #10: Team Sleep Challenge

What it is: A challenge to improve performance by purposely getting more and higher quality rest.

When to use it: This is great for use during the season when your athletes are tired from playing and travel. Sleep might not be an issue for EVERY athlete on your team, but chances are that most of your athletes can benefit from creating healthy sleep habits.

 

10 HUDDLES

We encourage you to complete these Mental Huddles in the order relevant for you and your team. You don’t need any special training or fancy equipment to complete these exercises (occasionally a way to play videos and/or a whiteboard). All you need is a commitment to making your athletes better, on the playing field and off. Most teams commit to a single day each week – “Mental Mondays”, for example – where they sit down for approximately 30 minutes and complete the exercises listed on a single Mental Huddle card.

"As a coach, I care deeply about my athlete's performance but I care even more about them as young people. Positive Performance empowered my athletes with the POWER of their own mind…..there is no greater gift our staff could give them for tennis or for life. Bringing in Positive Performance was a no-brainer for our program."

FAQ's

       How does this work?

Once you purchase the Mental Huddle Foundations™, you'll get immediate access to our online library. Most coaches download the PDFs and then come up with a plan for implementing them once a week through the season- sometimes using the mental huddles themselves or the bonus materials such as guided visualizations. Log-in from your computer or mobile device.

How long do we have access to the training?

The online access is guaranteed for one year but the PDFs can be downloaded and used again and again. 

How do I know if my team is ready for something like this?

Mental Huddle Foundational Program™is a great start to mental training or a good way to bring more structure to your existing mental training. If your athletes are more advanced with their mental training you might want to consider one of our other trainings such as Mastering Your Self-Talk™ or Competition Mastery™. Many teams combine Mental Huddle Foundational Program™ with one or both of the above trainings.

For what age range and sport does this training work best?

Our online trainings are recommended for ages 13+ but we've had teams younger than that do Mental Huddle Foundational Program™ because there is so much coach involvement.. We’ve worked with athletes in a wide range of sports; from traditional team sports like soccer, basketball and softball to individual sports like track, swimming, tennis and rodeo. Regardless of your sport, these topics will be relevant.

We are in our off-season, will this training still help?

Absolutely, Mental Huddle Foundational Program™ is a training that can be done at any time of the year. The only potential limitation is whether you have time to get your team together to do parts of the training as a group.

I don't know if can justify the investment.

We haven’t had even one person come back that didn’t think this was worth every penny. As they say: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

A reliable mental training system is a prerequisite for both immediate and long-term success. Also, I offer an ironclad 30-day money back guarantee with no hassles. Now you can be confident knowing your investment is protected. 

Does this count for CEUs?

We have had coaches submit it to their governing organization for credit. It is a training course designed to help you coach better so it SHOULD count as continuing ed but of course we can’t guarantee it will. We do have a course outline and course objective to make it easy for you to submit it for approval.

I'm not sure my athletes will buy into mental training. How can I know for sure?

The short answer is you can't. But coaches that dive into our trainings with confidence find their athletes follow their lead. One of the benefits of Mental Huddle Foundations™ is that it's team based so there are all these ancillary benefits: leadership, team building, bonding, communication. Teams love that aspect of it and it ends up being a really fun experience for everyone.
