What do the Pros Say?
"Thank you Aaron. You are good as I've been told. I appreciate what you do and like your approach as I feel many in your position are a little too soft. This makes them popular with athletes but also a crutch in my opinion. You are stern with your expectations and I like that."

Glenn Moore, Head Softball Coach, Baylor University

"Our girls really like Coach Traub and we definitely benefit from working with him. He gets to know me and my staff and makes it easier for us to get the girls to just do their job to the best of their ability. I like his no excuses style and his ability to get right to the point of the issues we are dealing with."

Debbie Hedrick, UTA Softball Head Coach

"Brilliant. You did a brilliant job."

Performance Enhancement Seminar

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE
GROWTH IS OPTIONAL

Do you want to approach your potential and guarantee success on the diamond? Do you work hard and have the capability, but lack consistency? Do you want to perform well under pressure and win most of your very close games?  Of course you do, so please understand that the way to achieve these goals is not by improving your physical skills, but by improving your mental skills such as confidence, focus, attitude, teamwork, and courage. To succeed, you need a plan that is guaranteed to work if you execute it precisely. This seminar will give you distinctions about how to "win" the mental side of the game by clarifying the three steps of a BEST EFFORT performance, developing your self-awareness, and providing you with strategies for anchoring successful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Today’s society teaches the physical skills of performance impressively well, but it’s usually a sink-or-swim world when it comes to mental skills. Help is now available! If you have invested significant time or money into your performance, but have not maxed out your potential, then you cannot afford to miss this seminar!

Why should parents attend? (Parents are free with team or individual ticket purchase!)
- To hear what sports psychologists are saying about how to "win" the mental side of the game.
- To support their daughter and her team effectively
- To gain a college coach’s perspective.
- To hear someone else tell your teenager what you have been telling her for a long time!  We're teaching the same things and athletes listen when Coach Traub talks, even when it's about body language, positive attitude, and doing what's right every time.

Athletes can train their brain just like they train their body. If you’re not consistently playing your best ball, you can imitate the patterns of thought of the greatest athletes in the world so that you ‘WIN’ the mental side of the game.  Here’s food for thought: avoid BAD little words like “can’t,” “gotta,” “fail,” and “should” and replace them with powerful words like “can,” “want,” “learn,” and “could / opportunity.”

What have attendees said about Coach Traub’s Mental Training?

“The day after your Performance Enhancement Seminar our team came back from 6 runs down and won.”

“One of the players who attended the seminar on Sunday night went 3 for 4 last night with a Grand Slam and 2 doubles. Not bad for the #9 hitter who was fighting for a starting position.”

“You said we could and would upset Poteet (ranked #1 in the state - baseball 2008 playoffs), but I wasn’t sure. Then you told us how and I believed. Then I led off the seventh of Game 3 with a double over the center fielder and then scored the winning run. We did it! It was the greatest feeling in the world! I know I earned it, but I certainly appreciate your help.”

“My daughter really got a lot out of hearing you speak and she purchased your book. This is a kid who hates reading! I’ve caught her reading it several times already.”

"Thanks again for coming out to speak at our event.  Everyone I spoke to was quite impressed with your presentation.  I started your book last night at the fire station and found that I could not "control" myself.  It makes for great reading.  I found myself trying to apply your principles to my job and how I can improve myself as a supervisor to my guys."

"We had our first game yesterday since your meeting. Wow - there was a noticeable difference. No fighting or bickering in the dugout. It was actually pleasant. Not perfect, but a great step in the right direction. We won 11-4."

"Thank you for tonight. I know you're probably still up there [at school], but I just got home and realized how much you know about what you do.  Thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge, and I hope it has impacted more members of our team because if it did, I believe we will now be much stronger as a whole. Thank you again. "

"My son Jacob Harris and I enjoyed your seminar very much. You hit the head on the nail on several things I have believed in myself. I can see why you enjoy your job. It must be very fulfilling. I have spent many years on the fields and in the gym with my son coaching youth sports. I was very glad to hear that I was using the same kind of thinking that you communicated in your seminar. Thanks."

"My son and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and have benefited greatly from the information and techniques you shared. I am applying them in my everyday business affairs and I can tell a huge difference in Jared and his attitude, especially when his performance is not what he would like for it to be. He has mellowed out a lot and the "emotional valleys" are not as deep as they once were. Thanks so much and keep up the good work. Who knows, someday you may be called the "Athlete Whisperer."

"I would like to thank you for speaking to our team this year. I truly believe it helped and will help us in the future. It has helped me in more ways than one. As of right now, I am playing some of the best baseball I have ever played. My focus is there, I am preparing differently than I used to, and my attitude couldn’t be better, and you are the reason for a lot of my success I believe."
