As a young athlete my physical abilities come easy to me, I put in the training time and I perform as an elite athlete. What always sets me back is the mental game. Jealous teammates, missing out on opportunities because I am not as loud as others. At the age of 15 during elite tryouts I was told by a coach that I had the most skill and ability n the gym but If he compared me to others I did not have the killer instinct so he choose based on the dog that made back first to the bowl. At first I was angry but then recognized that I did not want to play for a team with this type of attitude. Now 1 year and a half later and having taken a portion of your course it is allowing me to strengthen my mind for when this situation occurs again. I will have the tools that will allow me to persist and not give up.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

A few questions asked by Be World-Class users that you might be thinking about ...

  • As an athlete, why should I do this program - does it mean there is something wrong with me if I work on mental/emotional skills?

    All athletes work on the technical, physical and strategic skills in their sport. But, at some point, they realize they are missing a component that will help them maximize their abilities. The Be World-Class program is natural development for you in sport. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you if you are working on mental/emotional skills. It gives you the edge to maximize your abilities and get to the top. We all know that sport success is determined by the mindset, so spend some time developing the skills. Developing the mind to its fullest capabilities is the next frontier in sport - start now and be ahead of the curve!

  • How long does the program take?

    An hour each week for 12 weeks. There is a book to read in the first week, but we suggest users take their time and read it over a number of weeks. Podcasts may take a little longer to listen to. We know athletes have other things to do. The idea is to take the exercises, activities and ideas into your everyday routine right away and work on them so they become habit.

  • What if I want to do the program faster?

    We do suggest you take the full 12 weeks to complete Be World-Class so you can dedicate time to each fundamental - and you aren't rushing through the program. We want to make sure you are doing the exercises and have a chance to practice them.

  • When should I do it - what time of year?

    The program can be done during the season or in the off-season - it depends on your schedule. It can be done when you are traveling during the season, done in the evening or a scheduled time during the week. Developing your mind is not seasonal - it always needs work!

  • What happens if I don't improve after the program?

    Development takes time - especially development that is meaningful. You will be learning about - and working on - key fundamentals that are critical to your development as an athlete over 12 weeks and putting them into your everyday routine. If you follow the plan, you will see improvement and changes in your behavior. You will also be included in our private Facebook page that will keep your learning going, connect you with other athletes - helping you continue your development.
