If you are struggling with the mental game, Dr. Walker provides counseling services for sport performance and mental training to help an athlete reach his or her peak performance. Individual services begin with an assessment phase where mental strengths and weaknesses are identified as well as performance issues. Based on the initial assessment, a mental plan is created and implemented through individual work with Dr. Walker. Finally, progress will be monitored through regular performance evaluations, follow-up, and feedback.

If you are interested in mental training for performance enhancement, Dr. Walker is now offering an eight session (4-week) one-on-one mental training program. For more information, click on the mental training link.

A number of team programs are available for teams interested in reaching a higher level of performance. The general team program involves an initial intensive workshop where team issues are addressed and mental skills (relaxation, confidence building, focus training, visualization, emotional control) are taught. Dr. Walker is then available on a retainer basis to help team's deal with future team issues.
