In the intensely competitive world of athletics, Dr. Rob
Gilbert is unique. He does not train muscles – he trains minds.
“Because it’s minds, not muscles, that win games, and I mentally
coach athletes how to become winners,” says Gilbert.
Specifically, he trains athletes how to overcome choking,
slumps, lack of self-confidence and various other mental
problems by using the powerful mental techniques from the
field of Sports Psychology.


“Every athlete has been told to relax, concentrate or get
motivated, but very few are taught how,” says the knowledgeable
Gilbert. “This is my specialty. I have been studying, developing
and using these techniques with athletes for 33 years.” Gilbert,
a professor at Montclair State College (NJ), where he teaches
Sport Psychology and researches athletic motivation and
teamwork, has helped literally thousands of athletes defeat
their mental problems.


“Whether you are a 10-year-old athlete or a seasoned
professional athlete, your biggest stumbling blocks are almost
always mental. The exciting thing is that the mental skills
necessary to overcome these problems and become a champion are
easy to understand. But,” cautions Gilbert, “you have to know
how to practice them. This is what I call ‘mental practice.’
It’s why serious athletes of all ages and in all sports need a
‘head’ coach.”


Gilbert, Director of the Center for Sports Success, has given
over 2,000 speeches and seminars around the country on his
unique peak performance methods. “But I don’t just speak to
athletes and coaches. Business, educational and medical groups
invite me to address their meetings because they know that the
same mental skills that make people winners on the athletic
field are just as effective in the boardroom, the classroom or
any other arena where people work to achieve success.”


Gilbert’s one-day seminar, “The Winner’s Workshop: How Sport
Psychology Can Make You a Champion,” is the most highly
acclaimed mental training workshop ever presented for athletes.

“It is the finest Sport Psychology event in which I have ever
participated,” -Richard Aschettino, Executive
Director of the United States Decathlon Association.
