Sports Performance

Despite its obvious importance, the mental side of sport is often neglected, at least until a problem arises. But it is an essential piece of the athletic success puzzle. As an individual’s mind strengthens so does their ability to perform in high pressure competitions.

The only way to improve any area of athletic performance, whether physical, technical, or mental, is through commitment, hard work, and patience. At The Pave Group, we work together to develop a specialized plan to achieve elite mental performance. You will see immediate results that give you a competitive edge in all aspects of your life. This Mindset program will assist the athlete by being comprehensive, structured, consistent and personalized.

We will train the five mental “muscles” which are motivation, confidence, intensity, focus and mindset. These are essential for athletes to perform their best when it matters most. By assisting athletes in these areas, they give themselves the means and methods to enter competition prepared to perform at the highest possible level.

The Pave Group will provide athletes with tangible skills and exercises that they can access during competition and are essential to success. By empowering athletes with these skills, they will be able to overcome barriers as well as increase performance during high pressure situations. The Mindset Program works on five mental exercises and tools; goal setting, self-talk, breathing, imagery, and routines. These provide athletes with the practical strategies they need to ensure that they are comprehensively prepared to perform their best at an elite level. They are aimed at attaining and maintaining an optimal mental and physical state required to achieve success.

Dr. Mitchell will work with individuals (or teams) to discover what motivates them and help them reignite their passion to compete. She will identify mental, emotional, and environmental roadblocks which may be impeding optimum performance.

Finally, The Pave Group will show precisely how to overcome and eliminate these obstacles and harness their motivation for the benefit of the team or their individual goals. We will help to ensure that athletes are competing at their absolute best, physically and mentally, and that they are able to identify strengths which can be utilized to give them a competitive advantage.

The Pave Group aims to refine athletes’ mental skills using evidence-based practices and highly specialized mental training techniques. We provide athletes with innovative consulting services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, teams, and coaches striving to improve their performance.
