THE WAY OF THE CHAMPION - Developing Self-Awareness

Then this, the SECOND DISC in this series, will help you help your athletes to become more self-aware. You will learn how to develop the ability to get on the same page with your athletes in order to have greater influence with them, thus creating a stronger environment of trust and respect for you as a coach.

DISC 3

THE WAY OF THE CHAMPION - Developing Strategic Positioning

Are you interested in having your TEAM BELIEVE that their event is won before it even begins? Does your team get off to a SLOW START and find themselves in the uncomfortable position of playing catch-up? Do your ATHLETES STRUGGLE with taking their game up a few notches? Does your team have a DIFFICULT TIME taking criticism and LEARNING FROM MISTAKES?

In this THIRD DISC on Strategic Positioning, Jerry addresses these issues and more. According to Jerry, a major concept in strategic positioning is to understand that competition is a process. Goal driven athletes tend to focus on the result while being oblivious to the day-to-day process. The first activity, "Sending a Message", kicks off this session. When you show up to compete your opponent looks at you and what is seen will often determine the outcome. The purpose of the exercise is to effectively and efficiently send a strong message to your opponent about your intent. Jerry teaches athletes how to ensure their message is sent and received through visualization and affirmation, two critical components of strategic positioning. The next activity is called "Checking In", used within 24 hours after competition. Its purpose is to give the team concrete ideas for improvement. Champions need positive and constructive critique, even after victory. By specifically defining the areas of improvement, athletes and teams can take steps toward improvement and ultimate success. Activity three, "Raising the Bar", is designed to increase the intensity of practices. Athletes focus on what they are willing to start doing that differs from their normal routine. This exercise helps athletes see that the only thing keeping them from dynamic positive change is themselves.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS DISC:

13. How to pave the road to victory with tactical strategic positioning
14. To prepare your team so that the competition is won before the battle begins
15. How to send your opponent a strong message about your team's intentions
16. How to conduct positive, productive post-game team meetings
17. To help your athletes raise the bar in each practice session and competition

DISC 4

THE WAY OF THE CHAMPION - Developing A Competitive Advantage

Are you frustrated with your team's LACK OF BELIEF in themselves? Do they FAIL TO DEVELOP or create the CRUCIAL EDGE they need in order to dominate? Do your athletes seem to LACK HEART when they compete? Are they not as consistent as they need to be due to LACK OF MENTAL TOUGHNESS?

Then you need THIS DISC on the Competitive Advantage. According to Dr. Lynch, your opponent's greatest advantage is your team's lack of belief in its ability to do its best. In this DVD, Jerry shares his strategies to help you to help your athletes create the crucial edge over the opponent. Learn to understand the important message of self-doubt and confidently face each day of competition. Demonstrating heart is essential every time athletes put their feet on to the playing field. The first activity, "Heart from the Start", done in small group settings, discusses the characteristics of tough teams such as work ethic, composure, resiliency, confidence, aggressiveness, and passion. Jerry teaches athletes how to create mental toughness from the list they've assembled through the practice of meditation and affirmation. "Little Stream, Big River" is the second activity. From little streams come big rivers is a motto for Jerry because of the tiny mountain streams that eventually become a huge, powerful river. Some of the more controllable items include being punctual, mental preparation, rest, diet and hydration, work ethic, intensity and attitude. To cement these mentally, Jerry instructs athletes to use mental tools of meditation, visualization and affirmation. Little things are elements that permit teams to become victorious in the end. The final exercise asks, "What is it that you bring when you are at your best?" Developing a competitive edge is about what we have to do to bring our best to the game.

"Dr. Lynch has helped us develop the Competitive Advantage through seven consecutive National Championships."
- Cindy Timchal, Coach of Maryland Women's Lacrosse

18. Get your team to play with more heart and believe in themselves
