Mental Toughness training program

Welcome, I’m Craig Sigl the Mental Toughness Trainer. I have personally worked with thousands of professional and amateur athletes on the mental side of their game.

I am the creator of 7 mental toughness training programs for sports currently sold in 28 countries.

As of 2014, I write to over 26,000 athletes in my newsletter and blogs. I have over 3000 clients worldwide from United Arab Emirates to Ireland and all over the United States using my programs and services.

I also have been featured on NBC’s Evening Show on TV, written about in major newspapers, and interviewed on numerous radio programs.

At the Mental Toughness Academy, we believe mental toughness is when you are confident, focused, determined and resilient -especially under pressure. This is the champion mindset that we teach youth athletes for sports!

Having worked over 8 years one-on-one with athletes, I learned what are the biggest issues they face, what causes them fear and stress and how to talk to them so they are open to listen and learn.

I am very passionate about helping kids transform their lives! I spent over a year taking the best of my tools and techniques and put them into a video program designed specifically for kids.

The online training program I created consists of 24 videos and 8 guided visualizations in an exclusive membership site that athletes can watch anytime and anywhere on their cellphones or ipods.

The training can be done at the athletes own pace and watched anytime or anywhere on their computer, cellphone or ipod.

Kids learn most efficiently from experience-based learning. This means stories filled with vivid details that engage their imagination and activates their brains.

Our mental toughness training for sports videos are filled with exciting and motivating stories of athletes pulled from movie clips, antidotes of professional players and motivating tales of kids their own age, as well as stories from Craig’s one-on-one work with athletes.

Another important component to successful learning is “doing”. We create the “doing” by giving them fun exercises to complete and asking them engaging questions to get them thinking and applying the lessons to their own lives.

They will walk away from this training feeling empowered with tools they can use to master any pressure and overcome their fears or anxiety.

We want to help as many athletes as possible, and we’d love your help. If you know an athlete who needs help, we’d love to pay you a referral fee for bringing them to us. If that interests you, click here.
