When asked by a NY Times reporter what
was the most important attribute of his game, Tiger Woods responded, “My
mind”. Those seeking to achieving Edge from the Metropolitan Opera to
Scholars to Olympic athletes talk about qualities of mind as central to
their performance. Recently, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN and other
media featured AC Milan's use of biofeedback, particularly EEG
biofeedback as important contributions to Italy's capture of the World
Cup. EEG biofeedback works directly with the brain to enhance qualities
of mind, to activate the secret weapon.
This workshop will provide a model of
services to work with athletes, performing artists, student athletes,
scholars, or business professionals on qualities of mind, including
quieting emotion and gaining attention.
Traditional biofeedback has been a
mainstay in many elite athletes’ training and now EEG biofeedback and
its usefulness to the mind is capturing the attention of those who wish
to move beyond their own set point. This five component program taught
in this workshop will provide the practitioner with many tools
to optimize success in achievement-oriented clients. What separates
this workshop from most others on optimal performance is the centrality
of EEG biofeedback or neurofeedback into the training framework. Instant
and specific feedback on the qualities of brain/mind allows the client
to dissolve obstacles that he or she experiences to full achievement.
This two day workshop will include:
· An overview of research on optimal
performance
· Review and discussion of traits and
characteristics of peak performers
· Biofeedback and Neurofeedback and their
history
· Clinical vs. Power vs. Optimal
· Assessment: Tracking Arousal, Attachment
and Attention
· Attachment, relationship and the peak
performer
· Physiological balance tools,
including Heart Rate Variability, Relaxation and Open Focus
· The use of Biofeedback and EEG
Biofeedback:

· Coach as the Important Other: The

SAT scores to golf handicaps, to peer assessment of performance.
