Mental Performance Coaching | Mental Coach Pro

What’s the biggest difference between soccer coaches who have a winning program and those who are struggling to get the players to do what’s necessary to develop and win as a team?

Mental Performance Specialist

We all know the importance of the mental game

Yet, we are not putting enough energy and emphasis towards it.

We are blinded by all the physical things we need to do such as fitness and speed training.

We are occupied with technical training and putting together effective team training sessions.

That doesn't satisfy the overall necessities to get desired results.

And it’s why your team is unable to consistently make the right decisions on the field.

If you manage a soccer team and are:

Planning innovative practices with winning game plans
Booking the right tournaments to get the right exposure
Using your experience to envision how you want the game to unfold

That’s great. All those things have their place.

But they are only part of the equation.

If you struggle with:

Players who are not on the same page and don’t make confident decisions
Inconsistent performance between practice and games
A team’s lack of effort in the small things (i.e. not showing up on time, ready to go)

Then you would benefit greatly from mental performance coaching

You’re doing all the things you believe will build a great club. But, things aren’t working out as they should. Because you:

Don’t know how to teach the mental game
Struggle with building your players confidence
Haven’t figured how to implement your philosophy upon your club
Haven’t yet committed to taking ownership of your program culture

After all the time you have invested into being a great coach, isn’t it time you started getting consistent winning results?

You deserve to know that the mental aspect of the game is being taught while you are coaching the physical, technical, and tactical strategies.

You need a coach who is getting your player’s minds right while you’re getting everything else right.

After all there are only 3 things any athlete can train, or coach can coach:
Physical, Technical (Tactics) and MENTAL

Truth: Soccer Clubs that struggle are mainly focused on physical skills, not overall player development.

As a soccer coach or manager, I know you are doing what you can.

Every day you prepare the necessary equipment
Answer emails, texts, phone calls from parents
Create game plans and coach applicable formations
Sort out registrations, tournament schedules, and rosters

You can’t do much more when it comes to building a physically and technically sound team.

But maybe that’s the problem.

There is another whole aspect of coaching championship teams that if left untaught will keep your potential locked up inside.

I see the benefits of Mental Performance Coaching and I’ve helped many soccer teams and clubs overcome the challenges they have so that they can get the results they want.

What you need: a coach who is training the mindsets of your players while you are training the physical game.

What you need: a performance coach who is building the mental skills every player needs for long term success.

The good news is, building confidence, focus, and discipline in your players is possible.

If you’ve made it this far, you already sense that coaching your player’s mindset is crucial for your team’s success.

Popular Thought: I signed up for the right tournaments and am getting my players the right exposure. What’s Left?

I know that you’ve designed a game plan and coach a strong team. You aren’t winging it. You are showing up in full force.

You know what you’re after and everything you do is focused on that outcome.

You are confused about what you are working towards.

But, that’s the problem.

You are too focused on winning the tournament and not building the long term mindset skills your players need for life on and off the soccer field. The tools necessary to carry out all that you are teaching them.

But what you might not know is that Mental Performance Coaching will also empower your players to:

Grow an elite mindset so they can coach themselves when you’re not around
Commit to certain goals and stay motivated in reaching them
Build self-awareness which allows your players to recognize the problems that arise and how to adjust
Focus on what matters and not on the things that pull them further away from their goal

These outcomes are possible for you but they depend on your ability to coach the mental game.

My Mental Performance Training Program has been the secret weapon for my own success and the success of the wide variety of teams I’ve worked with. From youth clubs, to college programs, including Professional and MLS Players.

Hi, I’m Itzik Rapaport, Certified Mental Performance Coach

When I’m not learning new skills as part of my personal self-development, working out, or fathering my two daughters, I’m building the mental performance skills for winning soccer teams and organizations.

And I’ve done this all without taking away time from your physical practices. Meaning you get to enjoy the benefits of mental performance coaching without having to sacrifice your time on the field.

I have designed a Mental Performance Coaching Program designed for elite soccer teams and clubs like yours.

Why?

Because this is the course I wish I had when I was a youth and college player, and struggled with consistency
Because all of the teams who start working with me immediately realize that they knew a lot about the mental game, but never had a name for it. If you can’t name it, you can’t develop it.
Because I’ve been a soccer player and a coach, so I know you don’t want to sacrifice time on the field to coach the mental game (even though you know you need to)

Having been in your shoes, I have grown passionate about bringing all my knowledge to you so that you can develop your players into champions.

My Story:

I've played my whole life, just like you. I’ve played at the highest levels, just like your players. I started every game my freshman year at a top 10 D1 college program, until things turned for me. I found myself outside the lineup, off the field, and outside the travel squad. I struggled immensely with this and other aspects of my life. I wish I had someone like me in my corner, at the time when I needed it most. I have since then been obsessive about learning the Mental Performance Skills and have positioned myself in a way that I can teach and influence top players and coaches all over the nation.

I know the struggles of advancing in your career as a coach and getting what you want out of your players. I identify with the daily grind. You are putting in so much work, and bypassing the glue that holds it all together.

Imagine how much more you’ll be able to do with your players when they know how to stay focused. And how to keep them on the task at hand.

Or, what kind of results you would you get if you had a whole team who executed on the daily habits that build strong, confident, consistent players
