MTI has changed the whole way I approach fighting. I now have a clear, precise, and extremely effective pre-competition routine that gets my mind ready to fight. I owe a lot of my success to [the Mental Trainers] at MTI.�

Found the zone today on the course. Hit 17 greens in regulation and really impressed my playing partners. Mentally and physically, I am exceeding my expectations at the moment.Thank you for all the guidance thus far, we are progressing at a rapid rate.�

I felt like I was saying "ideal" after almost all of my shots. But specifically here's what I did well: I used my pre-shot routine before every shot. When I did that, I felt very comfortable and confident for the next shot.

If I ever pictured any bad shots, I didn't allow that to be my last thought. When I did hit a shot that wasn't ideal, I stayed with my post shot routine [that kept me calm]. After I was 2 or 3 under, I worked to keep my thoughts in the present. With the exception of maybe 2 shots, I was totally focused on the process and not the results.�

Dr. Neff has played a tremendous role in my success as an athlete. He has helped me to become one of the best Taekwondo heavy-weights in the world. Most athletes only concentrate on the physical aspects of training, but Dr. Neff helped me to achieve more by strengthening my mind.

Since starting with Dr. Neff several years ago, my ability to concentrate and perform to the best of my ability has sky-rocketed. When I began I would never have considered how influential mental training could be, but now I gladly say that the majority of my success has been due to Dr. Neff's program. I would suggest Mental Training Inc. to anyone who is truly committed to their success as an athlete.

No world class athlete could ever be complete without [a mental training] program. Not only is Dr. Neff a fantastic Mental Trainer, but he is also an amazing person and a blessing to work with.�

When I first heard the idea of working with a Sport Psychologist, I thought you must be crazy to need to work with someone like that. The truth is, you would be crazy not work with the team at MTI.

They have helped me unlock my potential and turn my passion into progress, and in ways that I never thought possible. They have helped me break my ultimate goals into smaller ones and have given me the mental tools that will help me overcome any obstacles that may come across my path. I cannot imagine continuing to compete at such an elite level without their help.�

MTI and my Mental Trainer Brad Jurica were a fundamental part of my success in swimming the English Channel. I started working with Brad two months before my swim date at the end of September, 2009.

I first contacted Brad when I was having problems staying focused during my longer swims and overcoming the mental hurdles of staying in the water for 8 plus hours. Brad and I worked through some key skill sets and he helped me form some routines for preparation. On the day of the swim, I felt more than prepared and 13 hours and 35 minutes after starting the swim I set foot on the beaches of France.�
