The Plan
Taking all of the above into consideration and any other factors that may be special to your case, we put together your own individual mental training plan.
We will then both commit 100% to this plan. The plan becomes the guide that we will both use to develop and maintain your progress in all the aspects of mental training.
We will decide when and how we meet. Virtual meetings are also available using internet technology, this can help in cutting down transport time in your already busy life.
This plan covers all aspects of the mental game and so requires the deepest commitment to regular meetings and exercises from both you and me.
Following this whole plan will equip you with all you ever need in terms of mental training.
