I am a licensed clinical and sport psychologist, who has been helping athletes for my entire 20-plus year career. In this course, I am taking the most important parts of my book on Mind Chatter and offering them to you in video format with great at-home worksheets to reinforce what you are learning. My expertise in helping nervous and negative performers comes from having worked with thousands of athletes who have the physical talent and work ethic to succeed but lack the mental game strategies to make it consistently happen.

My book, Courage Over Confidence: Managing Mind Chatter and Winning the Mental Game, has received great reviews for its practical, step-by-step approach to teaching athletes how to manage doubts, second-guessing and negative thinking. This 30-day virtual course takes these concepts one step further, incorporating short, easy to digest videos that allow you to learn how to manage mind chatter at your own pace. Do you need to read the book before taking the course? No, you don’t, but it might help you integrate the video lessons more quickly and more deeply.

More about me: My office is in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I am married and have three awesome children. Each and every day, my work centers around helping athletes pursuing high performance goals, and coaches and athletic departments looking to educate their student-athletes on mental health and performance enhancement strategies. My Ph.D. is in clinical psychology and I also completed a fellowship in Family Therapy. I am a therapist at heart who specializes in sport psychology. I do this work because of my love of sport and my desire to reach athletes who are great players but aren’t ready yet to call themselves great competitors. My work has touched people around the globe who are looking for a sound, reasonable and practical approach to teaching the mental game. Olympic athletes, college competitors and junior participants have all benefitted from my work.

“Dr. Greene is an excellent presenter. His presentations are always interesting, comprehensive, and organized. His enthusiasm for his work is palpable.” Division III Athletic Director

“The impact he has had is hard to put into words, but I can assure you it has been immense. He equipped me with what I describe as a “mental playbook” that I could use in both in my week of preparation and on gameday.” Premier League Lacrosse (PLL) player

“Every time I hear Mitch Greene speak, he gives me a wealth of information regarding how I can help the athletes I coach who have a variety of emotional, physical, and athletic difficulties.” High School Coach

“The idea about the difference between confidence and courage was new to me and a game changer in my approach to competing in the pool.” Division I Swimmer

By the end of 30 days, you will have a toolbox full of tangible tools that will have you managing that negative, doubt-filled voice that has ruined far too many of your performances. You will start going to the field or the pool or the track with a mental game plan that can aid in your performances and enhance your overall experience no matter what sport you play.
