Cutting Edge Performance Enhancement
Gain Optimal Results
Access your natural capability and create your desired success through "hacking" directly into your brain's operating system. Whatever your sport or endeavor is, it's your brain and nervous system that run the show. Emotions, thoughts and previous experiences can seriously interfere with your present activity. Developed for over 35 years, Bilateral Brain Stimulation techniques like EMDR and Brainspotting directly integrate all levels of your psychological and biological functioning, thus optimizing your performance. Become a unified force to be reckoned with.
Get Into The Flow
The truest measure of your full potential is how well you perform at your best. This is when you are in a "Flow State". It's a joyful experience of effortless functioning, a heightened awareness of time stopping and a fearless ability to do everything right. It feels as if you aren't thinking or "doing anything" but that the action is happening "through you". The GOATs operate in flow state most of the time. You can too. All it takes is getting out of your own way via Bilateral Brain Stimulation...and then a lot of practice! There's no way around the sweat.
With hundreds of EMDR and Brainspotting sessions conducted with clients over the past 30+ years, I have the training and experience to help you break through any psychological, emotional or experiential issues that are limiting your performance. Things that may take a lot of time, or never be solved through traditional coaching, can be resolved in 1-5 sessions of Bilateral Brain Stimulation. I can also teach you how to perform your own Bilateral Brain Tune-ups. The only equipment needed is your cellphone and headphones.

Brainspotting: Unlocking Peak Performance in Sports
Brainspotting (BSP), developed in 2003 by psychotherapist David Grand, is a powerful brain-body therapy that builds on principles from EMDR to target and release trauma stored in the subcortical brain regions. While it's widely used for processing emotional distress, its application in sports psychology has exploded in recent years, particularly for performance enhancement. Athletes at all levels—from weekend warriors to Olympians—turn to BSP to shatter mental blocks, overcome performance anxiety, and reclaim their edge. It's especially appealing because it's fast-acting, non-verbal, and leverages the body's natural healing mechanisms, making it a game-changer in high-stakes environments where every millisecond counts.
Brainspotting Race Car Drivers
Benefits and Outcomes - Drivers report 80–90% resolution of blocks in 1–5 sessions, with measurable perks:
Performance Gains: Sharper focus, quicker threat detection, and consistent "flow" states for better lap times and overtakes.
Emotional Resilience: 50%+ anxiety reduction, faster trauma processing, and lower chronic pain via somatic release.
Long-Term Edge: Enhanced neuroplasticity from racing's physicality amplifies BSP's effects, turning it into a mental "upgrade" for career longevity.
At its core, BSP identifies "brainspots"—specific eye positions in your visual field where the brain holds onto unprocessed emotional or somatic (body-based) charge from past experiences. In a sports session, a trained therapist guides you to recall a performance issue (like choking under pressure or a nagging injury fear) while scanning your eyes for subtle cues like involuntary tremors or emotional surges. Once a brainspot is locked in, you hold your gaze there, often with added bilateral brain stimulation like soft tones or taps, allowing your brain to self-process the underlying trauma without needing to dissect it verbally. This bypasses the "thinking brain" (neocortex) and dives straight into the instinctive, fight-or-flight responses that sabotage athletic flow. Sessions typically last 45-90 minutes and can yield breakthroughs in just a few visits, thanks to athletes' enhanced neuroplasticity from regular exercise, which helps these changes "stick" faster.
How Brainspotting Works
Athletes using BSP often describe feeling "lighter" and more present, with tangible gains like reduced anxiety (by up to 50% in some studies), better focus under pressure, and faster slumps-to-peak transitions.
Research, though still growing, supports this: Small-scale studies show significant performance uplifts and anxiety drops post-sessions, while neuroplasticity research highlights why active bodies respond so well.
David Grand and sport psychologist Alan Goldberg's book This Is Your Brain on Sports (2011) dives into using BSP to explain cases like Simone Biles' "twisties" at the 2020 Olympics—unprocessed pressure manifesting as disorienting mental fog.
High-profile adopters include pros in golf, tennis, and even NASCAR, where split-second decisions rule. Therapists report 80-90% success rates for yips resolution, often in under five sessions, making it more efficient than traditional CBT for deep-rooted issues.
Proven Benefits + Emerging Evidence
With mental health in sports under the spotlight—BSP offers a stigma-free, results-driven tool. It's not just therapy; it's mental training that integrates seamlessly with physical prep, like off-season tune-ups or pre-event rituals.
As one athlete put it after conquering her blocks: "It's like upgrading your brain's software for the game." If you're an athlete eyeing this, seek a certified BSP practitioner specializing in performance—many now offer virtual sessions tailored to your sport.
In short, Brainspotting isn't about fixing what's "broken"; it's about unleashing what's already there. It's transforming how we view the mind-sport connection, proving that the biggest wins often happen between the ears. Curious about trying it for a specific sport?
