Course Introduction
About Dr. Greene
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.
