Gymnast uses Mental Management to regain confidence after a serious injury

Recently I found a blog post where a trainer recommends the book "With Winning in Mind" so I sent him a message to learn more about how Mental Management helped him. Here is the response he sent.

Yes, Lanny Bassham's book was instrumental in changing my life and I’m forever grateful. I really was terrified to get back on the high bar after I broke my neck after a fall off the bar during practice. Through Mental Management, I was able to regain confidence to succeed and years later place 3^rd in the Big Ten Championships on the High Bar finals behind 2 National Team members (one of which was an Olympian) even though many were much more talented and skilled than I. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1CGp7YXiAk

I really did fulfill my potential as a gymnast and was able to squeeze out the ability my being would hold because I was able to train very hard and focused.

I would love to help you guys promote your seminars and books whenever possible.

They changed my life forever.

Thank you,

Jon Ham

With Winning in Mind helps woman improve self-image

Mental Management Systems products can help you with more than just sports. Check out this testimonial of how a man used the information in "With Winning in Mind" to help his sister battling depression to improve her self-image.


"I received a copy of “With Winning in Mind” in February and have put a lot of the systems in place. I take part in Cowboy Action Shooting and have recently returned from the world champs in California where I finished 5th in my category and 12th overall. I have used the information in “With Winning in Mind” with great success in my shooting and have found it to be a great resource in training, goal setting and just generally choosing to take a positive approach to everything.

On my arrival back in New Zealand I received a distressed call from my sister-in-law 5 hours away with news that my sister had tried to take her own life and she did not know how to help. Now this was way outside my comfort zone, but I was positive and made the trip to see her.

While packing I added my shooting diary and “With Winning in Mind” to refresh and plan my next shooting goals, as I had a 3 hour ferry trip that was going to give me some forced time where I could work on my plans relatively uninterrupted.

On arrival and after many hours of listening to my sister, her friends, doctors and psychiatrists reviewing the situations that led her to this situation, I managed to build a pretty good picture of the patterns that had led here. Almost all was caused by constant negative reinforcement of all the things in her life. After all this expert help, my sister was no better off as they just suggested she continue counseling.

My sister is a very strong person under normal circumstances and she wanted desperately to take control of her life and had expected professional people to tell her how. I explained to her what I thought would help her achieve what she wanted and explained how that had worked well for me. So I went to my bag and pulled out “With Winning in Mind” and worked through the techniques for improving self image. We drew out what she thought her problem was and the habits and attitudes that she needed to change, what her new self image is going to be, the pay value, obstacles, how to overcome these obstacles, set new goals and wrote a Directive Affirmation. Straight away with all this written in front of her she could see a solution to her problems and for the first time in her life felt that she is now in control and has a positive plan for the future. We discussed ways of breaking the negative links she had in her thought patterns and only choosing to reinforce positive things.

I can now inform you that after putting her plan in place and reading the whole book she is a new person and is so positive she has gone off the anti-depressant medication she was on as she felt it was only triggering a negative response (take my pill, oh that's right I am depressed.) Her previous negative way of dealing with all things is pretty much gone and I am certain she will now achieve great things; of course I now need a new book!"

Regards,
Steve from New Zealand

Cycling Coach recommends "With Winning in Mind"

“I discovered With Winning in Mind- The Mental Management System, by Lanny Bassham, when searching for books on the topic of motivation/positive thinking/coaching. Having a positive mental frame is crucial to winning and excelling in any area of one’s life: in business, athletics, and personal. Mr. Bassham’s book was the only one I found that encompassed the best of the principles of behavior modification, with positive thinking and coaching in an easy to assimilate and successful format.

I loved the book and used its inspiration to coach an athlete who was at bottom 5% to top 5% and two podium wins. I just recently bought the DVD for my own use, to keep me re-charged, I love it! I highly recommend the book and the DVDs.”

Brady Ellison - A Winner On and Off the Field

This letter was emailed to us from Julie Nichols who is the Mother of Mental Management client and Olympian Archer, Brady Ellison. Brady is not only ranked as one of the best in his sport but according to this letter he also acts like a winner off the field too. We hope you will enjoy this note.

Dear Mrs. Nichols,
I wanted to take the opportunity to write to you about your son, Brady, and our experience meeting him on a recent trip we took. We hope that you will pass this along to him and everyone that he represents. We found his website when I googled him.

My husband and I recently did a tour of Great Britain and one of the stops was in Edinburgh, Scotland. While we were there, we happened upon the Archery World Cup. We noticed several of the athletes were from the USA, as were we, so we decided to stop and watch for a bit. The match we saw was Brady shooting against a gentleman from India, he had us holding our breath as I'm sure he had you doing the same. It was so exciting, we decided to stay and watch his Gold medal match. We were not in the stands, but were watching from above on the gallery outside the museum and cafe. We cheered with all the other spectators up there when he won. We watched the Medal ceremonies and watched his interviews. We noticed that there were quite a few people waiting around where the walkway was blocked off. We overheard a lady (his grandma we learned) say that they were waiting for Brady to walk up. We thought we would try to get a picture with him, after all, it's not everyday you get to meet an Olympian.

Brady finally made his way up the walkway, with you carrying all his trophies and stuff, along with his coach. Wow. What a poised young man you have raised. He spent over a hour and a half, I know because we waited, signing autographs, t-shirts, hats whatever anyone had. He took pictures with anyone who asked. He took the time to talk with everyone and "Thank" them for their support and coming out to watch. He was the great with all the children, who were so in awe, he took the time with each and every one of them and made them feel special. We were waiting our turn and making small talk with one of the spectators, who told us about what Brady had done the day before with an autistic boy. My understanding is the boy came both days with his mom and knew everything about Brady, all his stats. They had met you in line and you had said you would ask Brady to come to the stands and they could get a picture. The gentleman said Brady came to the stands and sat down and talked with the boy for quite some time, took pictures and was very good with him. The gentleman said that was the moment that Brady went from being someone he cheered for to being a hero. We didn't witness that, but we saw how he interacted with everyone when the competition was over. He won over a lot of fans that were for other countries. We heard quite a few of the children say they wanted to be just like Brady when they grew up. That made us chuckle because Brady is not much older than them. It is so refreshing to see an athlete who is a positive role model. We are so often bombarded by the media with all the professional athletes who make the news for drugs or breaking the law, Brady is a breath of fresh air. He took a picture with an old couple (us) and talked with us for a bit. He is a well spoken, humble young man who obviously loves what he does. He made us both proud to be Americans and a little teary. It was a nice unexpected surprise and one of the highlights of our trip.

We will continue to follow Brady, not necessarily because of archery, but because of the wonderful young man who spent hours with his fans. Congratulations to Brady on a fantastic year, we wish him continued success. Congratulations to USA Archery, the USOC and all of Brady's sponsors on having such a fine representative.

Congratulations to you, Mrs. Nichols, on having raised such a poised and wonderful young man. We only spent a short time with him, but he made a lasting impression. We had planned on returning to Great Britain for another trip and now we are looking at going during the London 2012 Olympics to cheer Brady on to Gold.
Congratulations Again - Sincerely, Mary


You never know who will be watching you as you compete for your dreams - so always act like a Champion, win or lose. Because at the end of the day, the people you meet and inspire will mean more than the trophies that gather dust on your mantle.
