Confidence Coaching

The science behind your breath and how you can generate calm and ease in your mind and body. A great daily practice for any athlete!

"Vagusstoff (acetylcholine) is like a tranquilizer that you can self-administer simply by taking a few deep breaths with long exhales. Consciously tapping into the power of your vagus nerve can create a state of inner-calm while taming your inflammation reflex.

Healthy vagal tone is indicated by a slight increase of heart rate when you inhale, and a decrease of heart rate when you exhale. Deep diaphragmatic breathing—with a long, slow exhale—is key to stimulating the vagus nerve and slowing heart rate and blood pressure, especially in times of performance anxiety."

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Dramatically Reduces Inflammation Stimulating the vagus nerve reduces inflammation and the symptoms of arthritis.

Last week I recieved my most recent testimonial from a Women's Basketball Coach. Based on her feedback I've decided to launch Team Confidence Coaching, offering tools and support for teams that want to build confidence and WIN! Here's her review:

"We had worked with a sport psychologist before which led me to be a little leary of the process. As a coach we always want to do what's best for our players and our program. For me it was a great experience of self examination and goal setting. I believe Confidence Coaching can help our players on and off the court in their journey as young women. I look forward to having our players and our team participate in the future.

The positive nature of the process along with goal setting is a great combination to help one breed confidence. I also enjoyed that the goals were kept simple but still had great value in the process. The reflective nature of the process meant that it was also player/client driven so there is also more accountability in the process. I enjoyed the positive and upbeat nature of the coach, which led me to feel more comfortable in my thoughts and goals, which then led to more attainable, better goals." - Erin O'Hare, Monterey Peninsula College Women's Basketball Coach

Here I am in 2001, celebrating with teammates and coaches a big win sending my high school basketball team to the Washington State girl's basketball Championship round. What an experience! And today I celebrate granting a full Confidence Coaching scholarship to a brilliant and dedicated young woman wanting to see real results to improve her performance over the next three months of her basketball season. Let the good work begin! Stay tuned!
