The Problem (Choke):
The “problem” in athletic competition is the choke – when an athlete performs less than best. Technically speaking, this is called an emotional highjack. A term created by the Godfather of EQ (emotional quotient) himself, Dr. Daniel Goleman.
You, as a coach. You, as an Athlete. You, as a parent of a young aspiring athlete are all interested in EQ.
EQ is the silver bullet to remedy an athlete’s choke.
Said correctly, EQ develops skills (EI – emotional intelligence skills) that empower an athlete with abilities during times of adversity, pressure, and/or stress – basically the athletic competition.

“Our philosophy is simple – the mind is an athlete’s competitive advantage.
Like the body the mind must be strengthened and developed for what’s called the brain-body sync for the task-at-hand. The MindSet System benefits individual performance as well as team unity and leadership”Parrish Owen Taylor
