Find Your Champion Potential

Rob Howard / 16.02.2005

Steve Ward, who runs the training company Maximum Potential, and has just added another article to his SleepMonsters series on mental preparation for adventure racing, has let us know about a new course he is offering. It could be ideal chance to get you mind, as well as your body, ready for the season ahead.

The course is called ‘Champion Potential’ and runs over the weekend of 1st April (7pm) to Sunday 3rd April. It’s been set up by Steve, working with ex-special forces instructors, elite sports people, and health and fitness professionals. It’s a course that’s successfully helped many champions in the past, including World Snooker Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, who commented, "Brilliant weekend! At times I felt highs that I have never felt before. I would recommend it to anyone!" His sport may be very different, but the mental skills that separate the winners from the ‘also-rans’ are the same.

Subjects covered over the weekend will include the following, which any adventure racing team or competitor could gain from;

· Improve your mental toughness.
· Gain champion momentum, positive motivation and drive towards achieving outstanding sports goals.
· Discover your inner-power, and improve confidence and self-belief.
· Get out of your comfort zone, and overcome doubt and fear.
· Learn advanced visualisation and focus.
· Overcome limiting beliefs and barriers to success.
· Develop trust and enhance your communication skills.
· Test your mental and physical fitness and commitment.
· Develop your sensory awareness and coordination.
· Find out how to maintain physical and mental balance for peak performance.

The weekend includes a training manual, food and accommodation, and anyone interested in taking part can save £85 on the fee by booking early. (The full fee is £450.)
