I began wrestling in 3rd grade, and as I look back on my 14 yr career I am grateful for the lifelong lessons I have learned from it.  I have decided to give back to a sport that has given me so much, by helping wrestlers achieve greatness in not only wrestling, but life.  Each post I write will dig deeper into the human psyche and really get to the root of how champions really think and behave.  Champions like Rulan Gardner, Bruce Baumgartner, Dan Gable, Tom and Terry Brands and a whole host of others.

I will discuss how our psyche works by introducing the four intelligences of the body whole and how each contribute to who we are.  Mind (IQ), Body (PQ), Heart (EQ), and Soul (SQ) when properly balanced will create a synergistic experience that will allow one to operate with great power, in essence work within “the zone”.

I will also discuss why I believe modern sports psychology will not deliver consistent results; how one can be physically fit yet not healthy; why suppressing ones emotions can lead to catastrophic failure; how to move from dependent to independent to interdependent, and what those moves mean and why those moves are crucial;  how esoteric (external)  motivators can actually hinder one’s progress;  a system that will clear the mind of all nagging thoughts so that total focus on the task at hand can be achieved; why many fall short of their goals, and a system to simplify goal setting and achievement.

I hope you join me on this journey to greatness.  I am not a professional psychologist so these posts are my opinions and I look forward to your comments.  Please keep your comments professional and constructive in nature.  I will not tolerate bad language or slander.  Good luck
