Sport Psychologist Jerry Lynch suggests that you and your team not think about "becoming" champions but rather that you decide to "be" a champion first, and begin right now to follow and practice the habits and lifestyle of champions. Champions work, play and compete with heart. The good news for athletes is that playing, competing and working with heart is something that can be taught. In Lynch's Way of the Champion Series, he will show you how to teach your athletes to incorporate the traits and habits of champions. The end result will enable your athletes to have the "the stuff of champions." Lynch also presents 10 ways to get the most out of your athletes. Being open, fair, serving, a listener and humble are a few of traits illustrated. This entire DVD compilation is set upon the mental mechanics of champions shown in live activity settings. Lynch's teaching begins with the circle. In sports the circle is a symbol of team unity and togetherness. The circle allows for communication, connectedness and openness. The mindfulness activity helps calm athletes down and gives them confidence. Meditation, visualization and affirmation are the three components of this powerful exercise. He will help you to identify inspiration in the lives of your athletes and how this inspiration can be used to enhance their athletic competition.

Knowing yourself as a person and athlete is more important than knowing your opponent. This DVD on self-awareness deals with the athletes looking at themselves to maximize his or her potential. Jerry facilitates three different group/team activities that are designed to have the athletes/team to take an introspective look at themselves, their behaviors and habits. These activities involve penning answers to questions that relate to present behavioral traits. Once these behaviors are identified, Jerry helps the athletes look at those that are productive and/or counterproductive and assists in helping the athletes make positive changes to better work towards their goals by embracing the habits of champions. To bridge words on the paper to the mind, Lynch teaches athletes how to visualize these behaviors and feel the changes. The value of these exercises can be seen before, during and after the season. Lynch has a unique ability to get on the same page with the athletes he teaches in these dynamic group settings and this DVD will help you to do and be the same.

Parental issues have become one of the defining factors for determining a coach's longevity, happiness, and satisfaction with the coaching profession. In this highly informative presentation, Dale takes an in-depth look at what factors into a parent's behavior and motivation. In addition, Dale takes a close look at what a coach can do to promote a proactive, positive, and coach-controlled atmosphere that will enable you to function "with" rather than "against" an athlete's parents. The uniqueness of Dale's presentation is that rather than looking at a particular individual's behavior, he feels it is imperative to understand the three types of families that a coach will encounter. Dale shares the traits of each of these family types, details the predictable behaviors of the parents and athletes, and gives key recommendations for how to best work with both parent and athlete from each family type. Dale then details how to present and implement parent behavioral strategies for game day and for establishing a positive parental alliance that best serves the needs of the athlete.
