Managing Mind Chatter

Courage over Confidence offers a new approach for athletes and other performers to conquer the mental game. Written for competitive young athletes as well as professionals and Olympians, it is also a game changer for coaches and parents looking for ways to further help their aspiring athletes/performers.

Does this sound like you?

  • You pass instead of shoot games and tryouts
  • You slow down when you should be speeding up
  • You give up instead of digging in
  • You only perform well in practice instead of games and tournaments
  • You worry about “how bad you will look” instead of how much you can help your team
  • You fear competition instead of embracing the challenge

This book will help you…

  • Learn what it means to compete with COURAGE when confidence wanes.
  • Master Mind Chatter to help you perform in ways you never thought possible.
  • Learn how to be mentally bullet-proof when doubts and second-guessing show up during tryouts and competitions.
  • Discover how best to help a nervous, anxious performer from sabotaging his/her game-day performances.

Courage over Confidence challenges the common belief that confidence is essential for success. Instead, it encourages us to embrace our doubts and concerns. This book teaches us how to not only accept ‘mind chatter’ but also use it to our advantage. It’s a fantastic read for both athletes and non-athletes!

What sets my approach apart is its focus on acceptance: teaching athletes to develop a “welcoming relationship” with their doubts by learning to make space for mind chatter. As the saying goes, “What you resist will persist and what you let be, will let you be.”

About Dr. Greene

Thanks for looking over my book page. I am a licensed clinical and sport psychologist, who has been helping athletes and other performers for my entire 20-plus year career.

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.

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.

The feedback I consistently hear about my book is that it is easy to read, it offers great, step-by-step practical advice and that it is such a refreshing, new approach to winning the mental game.
