What separates us from achieving greatness? Why do we consistently accept mediocrity and ‘good enough’?Ever wish you could find the key to overcoming a lack of strength, skill, or natural ability to achieve such greatness?

It’s this type of drive that enabled a flu-stricken Michael Jordan to hit the Game 5 winning shot in the ’97 NBA finals after nearly collapsing with exhaustion.  It’s what drives a father to complete a multitude of Ironman competitions carrying his disabled son the entire race. It’s what motivates a tri-athlete to persevere through the last mile of an Ironman. These are examples of the ultimate difference between success and failure, greatness and ‘good enough.’

Call it guts. Call it will.  Call it perseverance.  In the end, it’s simply mental toughness. The question is: How do we get it?  Most of the information surrounding the notion of mental toughness is subjective, not clinical. At the National institute for Change we hone in on what it takes to push through and outlast every obstacle in your path.

It’s proven that physical abilities simply aren’t enough to become a world class athlete.  Often times it it’s a crap shoot – never quite clear as to what skills and goals are needed to make athletes successful.  We currently use Sports Drive, a scientifically-based assessment that predicts athletic performance in all types of athletes and sports. Sports Drive provides valuable insights into athletic strengths and challenges. Additionally, Sports Drive provides detailed feedback about areas that need improvement.  By taking the time to complete the assessment, athletes take the first step to understanding the inner forces that drive athletic success.

Many athletes have the physical ability to excel at their chosen sport. But why do some peak before they achieve total success while others exceed expectations and become elite athletes?  We can help deliver the Sports Performance Indicators that can be utilized to test any athlete’s motivation and their willingness to work at improving his or her athletic skills.

Upon successful completion of Sports Drive, you are provided a detailed outline of your Sports Performance Indicators, and a concise road map of strategies that will help you accomplish your desired outcome.  Additionally, coaching services are provided to ensure you adhere to the agreed-upon road map for success, and to break through any barriers encountered along the way.
