DEVELOPING MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL FITNESS TO COMPETE AT YOUR BEST 

 

At Cultiv8 Academy we understand the importance of being able to compete at your best when it matters. We recognise the power of the mind and how it has the potential to be either your biggest asset or your greatest weakness. We understand the demands of training and the ongoing pressures of competition, so at Cultiv8 Academy we create systems and support networks to develop resilience, maximise learning, and bridge the gap between training and competition environments. 

TREATING THE MIND AS A MUSCLE 

 

Whilst most athletes are aware that physical fitness is key to peak performance many do not fully understand how a trained mind can positively influence performance. At Cultiv8 Academy we use high-performance coaching techniques and sport psychology support to optimise performance. We encourage our athletes to treat the mind as though it was a muscle. Situations are created to ‘stretch’ and ‘strengthen’ the mind, helping athletes to develop a stronger and more positive mind-body connection.

"I’ve learnt how to deal with frustration much better. I have a clearer plan of what to do when I feel nervous and I have a routine now to help me come back to the line positive. Laura has helped me to understand how my brain works and how this influences my tennis. She has helped me to challenge myself a lot more in training and competition which is helping me to learn about myself and my game more."

CONSISTENT COMMITMENT TO CREATE CHANGE 

 

At Cultiv8 Academy we work with athletes to develop their mental strength alongside their technical, tactical, and physical programmes. By exploring reactions and responses that occur in pressure situations we help athletes to become aware of  thought processes, emotional control strategies, and behavioural outcomes. We also help to uncover values, belief systems, and mental obstacles that can interfere with and limit performance. 

MASTER THE MENTAL GAME 

 

At Cultiv8 Academy we work with athletes to master the psychological side of performance. We teach athletes how to: focus on process over outcome, deal with distractions, manage mistakes, monitor controllable aspects of their performance. We work with athletes to develop trust in their skills and to have the confidence and composure to perform and succeed when under pressure. Our support focuses on developing skills to manage nerves, anxiety, and expectations in positive and productive ways. The enhancement of effective communication skills is at the heart of our development programmes.

At Cultiv8 Academy we have the skills and experience to help you to unlock your potential and to develop the tools that you need to thrive. If you want to master your mental game and to maximise your performance we look forward to hearing from you.
