“Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.”

–Napolean Hill (American author of personal success literature)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hayden Performance Consulting (HPC)

Philosophy

Hayden performance consulting (HPC) is dedicated to developing and maintaining optimal athletic performance through facilitating the development of cognitive skills, techniques, perspectives, and processes. HPC incorporates into its practice Arete, the ancient Greek’s notion of striving for excellence with courage and strength. HPC’s goal is to help athletes strive for excellence in their chosen craft.

Process

HPC approaches each session as a collaborative endeavor based on an assessment of athletes’ current and ideal performances. Through team and individual counseling, HPC addresses mental skills development through a 5-pronged approach: Assess, Accept, Educate, Perform, and Evaluate.

 

Assess
Identify current and ideal performance

Accept
Acknowledge and accept performance-effecting behavior

Educate

Perform

Evaluate
