Shilah Phillips Stops By



Today Miss Texas 2006, Shilah Phillips stopped by the office to have lunch with us! We took some time out to catch up with Shilah on what she is doing now and what's coming up in her life. She is using her scholarship money winnings from Miss Texas and Miss America (she was 1st Runner Up to Miss America) and attending the University of North Texas in the Jazz Studies Program. She is pursuing her dream of being a professional entertainer and performs in the DFW area with a cover band. She is busy writing songs and recording a demo so we wish her the very best of luck as she continues to touch people through song!

Olympic Archer Brady Ellison Stops By for One Last Visit Before Beijing!




19 year old Brady Ellison will represent the US in Beijing at the Olympic Games. In preparation for this event he stopped back in to see Lanny today with his parents (Mel & Julie Nichols). What an impressive young man. Taking every last effort to make certain he is ready - Brady is taking his first journey to the Olympics very seriously. His work ethic, physical and mental preparedness have put him in the top 15 in the World and one of the favored ones to win a medal in China.

Recently he did a photo shoot for VIBE Magazine which featured several Olympians - the August issue highlights athletes in fashion clothing which took Brady out of his comfort zone and into a $800 Armani jacket and professional photo shoot.

This teenager is turning heads everywhere he goes and we are proud to call him a client and friend. He is mentally prepared, focused and excited for the up coming Olympics. Good Luck Brady!!

Here is an email we received from Mel Nichols Friday evening:

Mental Management has been such a important part of Brady's Olympic preparation. Brady has accomplished many of his goals to date very quickly and it has been because he uses your system. We are very thankful that you could make time to have one last session before we head to Beijing. Sorry for such short notice. We really enjoy when Lanny shares his Olympic stories with us. We learn from them and it gives us a idea as what to expect. When we left your office and headed back to the airport, Brady told me how greatfull he was that he uses the Mental Management System. It has made it very easy for Brady to compete at the highest level of competition. We will keep you informed how Brady is shooting when we are at the Olympics.

Thank You Very Much!

Mel

Last Chance to sign up for Mental Toughness!

Last chance to register for the Eagle U Mental Toughness Program - July 21 - 26 in Denton TX!! Registration ENDS THIS FRIDAY July 11th! This is an amazing opportunity, we are looking forward to helping students apply Mental Management to their sport, stage performance or business.

The information below is from the Eagle U website to describe this course with instructor and mentor, Olympic Gold Medalist, Lanny Bassham (he will be assisted by Heather Sumlin & Troy Bassham for this session).

Throughout our lives and our children's lives, we face defining moments that have a profound effect on our future. Some look back, and our children may look back, at those moments and wish they could do it over, or prepare differently, so that they, simply put, could have performed to their potential - the level they have reached many times in practice.

We have all witnessed the talented individual that did not reach their potential in sports, music, education, stage, screen, or countless other endeavors. They choked and became afraid to try again for fear of failure.

Eagle U offers a program designed to teach students a system to perform at their best on demand under pressure.

What gives Eagle "U" the expertise to provide this valuable system?

Teaching the Mental Toughness 5-day program is a member of the Eagle U faculty, Mr. Lanny Bassham. Lanny is a two time world champion, a 1976 Olympic gold medalist, author of With Winning in Mind & "Freedom Flight - The Origins of Mental Power" and the former mental preparation coach to nine countries' Olympic teams. Lanny has been training Olympians, corporations, and individuals wanting to improve their performance under pressure for over 30 years and is currently the mental preparation coach for 15 PGA Tour Players. Now the same proven system that makes the difference between excellence and average is available to your student through Eagle U.

It's about peak performance on demand when opportunity knocks.

Will your student move beyond fears and limiting beliefs, accomplish goals and reach their potential? By following a system that separates medal winners from the rest of the pack, your student will learn:

The three mental processes that control an excellent performance
How to turn deficiencies into strengths
The most powerful mental tools used by Olympic winners
Why 95% of all winning is accomplished by 5% of participants
The secrets of performing under the pressure of big competitions
Mastering the stress of life's defining moments
80% mental 20% technique

Growing up we all pursued our talents, practiced our sports, music, and hobbies, until we mentally gave up. Physically we had not even reached our peak. We were always coached how a particular activity is 80-90% mental and only 10-20% ability or technique, but we always spent 80-90% of our time practicing technique and trying to improve our ability. What about the mental preparation? The Mental Toughness seminar will provide the tools and a proven system to take your student to the next level, and teach them how to continually raise the bar with their own level of expectations in all their endeavors.

Eagle "U" is very proud to be able to make this program available to your student. Space will be limited to ensure personal attention. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-888-7 EAGLEU or 214-383-0577, or visit our website at www.eagleu.com

Yours in success,

Your Eagle "U" Team
