Mental Game Coach Ann Zaprazny
Professional and Personal Experience
Are you an athlete who invests all you time in your sport only to fall short? I can relate to that…
As a 3 sport athlete growing up, and a Division 1 scholarship athlete at the University of Delaware, coaches said I had “a lot of potential.”
I had a nice level of success. But I did not have as much success as I could have…
The reality was, I lacked the mental game to match my physical game.
As a parent and as a coach, I see it all the time…
Athlete’s invest time physically training, only to be filled with self doubt, fragile confidence, poor emotional control and more.
I want more for the athlete’s I coach.
The myth: Physically train harder and you will achieve the results you desire.
The reality: Train smarter. Train both your mind and your body to achieve the results you desire.
I have invested years helping others perform at and be their best in the corporate world.
I became a Certified Mental Game Coach and the CEO of Great Sports Minds, LLC in 2016 to help athletes, teams and coaches master the mental skills they need to perform their best.
Mental training, just like physical skill training, takes time and practice. Don’t make the mistake that many athletes make…
There is no quick fix!
Make your physical training investment pay off by adding mental game training to your routine.
