Some questions to answer yourself:

  • Have you ever gotten frustrated with yourself for not achieving the results you think you deserve?
  • Do you or others consider you to be "underachieving"?
  • Do you really "want" to achieve more?
  • Do you feel that come competition you do not perform like you do in training or practice?
  • Do you struggle to find or maintain motivation?
  • Do you experience days when you simply "cannot put a foot wrong" or "right" and you cannot explain that?
  • Do you sometimes "wonder why you are doing this"?
  • Do you tend to over-analyze your performances/results?
  • Do you struggle with competition nerves?
  • Are you someone who seemingly performs "better" in training than in the actual event?

Glenn can guide you to a greater understanding and awareness of the uniqueness that is you. Through this wonderfully enlightening process, you can unlock the door to previously unimagined performances.
