Strong mental skills often give amateur and professional athletes
an edge over their competitors. At Whole Athlete, we recognize
that the mind is as important as the body in a complete training
program.
Marvin
Zauderer leads our Mental Training program. He works in all sports
with athletes, coaches, and teams -- whether or not they are already
Whole Athlete clients -- on:
• Building self-confidence and motivation
• Managing stress, pressure, and disappointment effectively
• Stopping negative self-talk
• Increasing the ability to maintain and regain concentration
• Mentally preparing well for competition
• Improving communication with teammates and coaches
• Setting, resetting, and managing to individual and team
goals
• Noticing, avoiding, and recovering from burnout
• Regaining mental fitness after injury

an equestrian, and father of three teenagers.

to his change of career, Marvin had a successful 15-year
career in high technology. He has graduate degrees from
Stanford University and Dominican University, and an undergraduate
degree from UC Berkeley. He is a member of the Positive
Coaching Alliance, is a USA Cycling Level 2 coach, and has
coached girls' softball. Growing up, he played AYSO soccer,
Little League baseball, challenge-ladder tennis, and playground
basketball. |
