From: Graeme
Townshend, The Players's Mind
Dear
Players, Parents, and Coaches,
Today
more than ever, young hockey players have access to an
endless number of excellent hockey camps, private instruction,
training videos and manuals. As young players approach
the competitive high school and college levels, there is
often little difference in the physical capabilities of
the players vying for the starting position.
The
player with the best physical skills isn't always the
player that becomes the star of the team or the top player
in the league.
Why
is it that there are players with incredible physical skills
who never make it to Division I College Hockey or the professional
ranks?
Why
is it that we see players at the highest levels who don't
seem to have world class skills, but are able to consistently
contribute more than the better skilled players?
The
difference that really counts lies in the players's
mind.
It
is universally agreed that playing Hockey well is over
80% mental. Unfortunately, over 90% of the training
that a player receives and puts into practice is focused
on the physical game.
Training
the mind doesn't have to be difficult
Let's
face it, training your mind to play better as a hockey
player sounds good on paper, but can be very difficult
and next to impossible to actually implement on a consistent
basis- unless you have the right system.
The
truth is that this is the missing ingredient
that will make the most significant difference in the
level of achievement that you will reach as
a hockey player.
There
are certainly many great sports psychology theories and
concepts being talked about at hockey camps and in hockey
instructional manuals and videos, but without
a proven, simple to implement system, most players skip
over this critical area completely.
That
is all about to change! You
are going to learn about a revolutionary
new effortless system that
will enable you to skyrocket your confidence,
completely eradicate all of your self-limiting
beliefs, bust through the mental barriers that
are strangling your progress, and replace your
paralyzing fear of failure and destructive negative
self-talk with the positive mental programming
that is required to play at the top of your game.

Getting
into The Zone
Getting
into The Zone really means performing automatically-
your mind and body are working in harmony. This
happens when you are so confident, completely relaxed,
completely free of inhibitions, so totally free of worries
that you perform at your best automatically.
Even
if you can't get into The Zone, or if you have trouble staying in
The Zone, you can train your mind to get closer
to The Zone, and significantly improve your performance.
The
aspects of mental training that can help you get closer
to The Zone include controlling emotions, being calm and
positive, increasing concentration and focus, feeling relaxed
yet highly energized, and increasing confidence.
In
his ebook, "Why Is Sports Psychology Useful," Sports
Psychologist Patrick J. Cohn, Ph.D., makes a very
important and relevant statement:
"Most
athletes view the mental game and physical aspects
of their sport separately. There is a false belief
that athletes must first master “perfect” technique
or knowledge about the sport before working on mental
skills. My philosophy is that you cannot separate
the mental from the physical when it comes to motor
skills. Decisions, thoughts, images, and feelings
drive motor behavior."

ABOUT
ME
I was born in Kingston, Jamaica. I moved to Toronto at the age
of 3. I played one year of Junior hockey for the Mimico Monarchs
of the O.H.A. Central Jr. B league. As the #2 recruited player
in North America, I turned down offers from 14 schools, including
Michigan, Michigan State, Maine and Cornell, to accept a full
scholarship from #1 ranked and defending NCAA Division 1 Frozen
Four Champion, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).
As captain at RPI, recruited as a forward, I led all RPI defensemen
in scoring and was one of the top scoring defensemen in the ECACHL
as a Junior. . After a very bad experience in college with a
coach who constantly beat me up mentally even to the point of
black-balling me to the pro scouts, I was able to overcome the
odds and prove my critics and coach wrong by signing
a Free Agent contract with the Boston Bruins.
I later went on to play for the NY Islanders and
the Ottawa Senators.
Known mostly for my physical play, I went on to beat the odds
and scored an average of 19 goals per year throughout 10 professional
seasons in the NHL, AHL, IHL and WPHL.
Among
my awards, I earned the IHL and WPHL Man of the Year Awards
for my outstanding community service and leadership. I
went on to coach for three years professionally. I have
been the Player Development Coordinator for the NHL’s San
Jose Sharks. I am now the Skills and Skating Coach
for the Toronto Maple Leafs. I have also
operated youth, adult and college level hockey schools
and clinics throughout North America, Canada and Europe.
I have taken my lifetime of ups and downs in the world of Hockey
and came to realize early in my career that it wasn’t his
physical game that needed work, but my mental game. I knew where
to find the answers and took full advantage of the resources
provided to me in the NHL and has fused these elements together
with my on-going training to put together a powerful system any
player of any age and ability can implement on a consistent basis.
You can have access to my powerful system right now.
If
you have been working hard on your physical game, but
you still find that you can not predict when you'll
get into what is commonly known as "The Zone," this
system can help take you there.
If
you find that you play great one game, and then struggle
during another game, then this system can help you.
Maybe
you find that you play great in practice or in games
that do not hold a lot of significance, but you are not
playing at your best during important games.
Maybe
for you the opposite is true; you have no problem "getting
up for" and performing great in the "big game," but
you play poorly against the easy teams. If you deal with
any of these challenges, then you need this course.
If
you are ready to get started with our powerful system
to completely re-program your subconscious mind, order

Testimonial
"I
strongly recommend this audio program for every
hockey player who is serious about reaching his
or her potential"
"In my playing days,
I was always looking for any extra edge to put
my emotions and thoughts into perspective before
game time. I have been teaching hockey players
all aspects of the game for many years. I have
always believed that the mental aspect of the game
is extremely important, but is always the toughest
to teach. I believe that The Player's Mind Audio
Program is a great mental training tool for all
hockey players, especially as they get into the
more competitive levels of Hockey. I strongly recommend
this audio program for every player who is serious
about reaching his or her potential. Graeme has
really delivered on something here that can be
very beneficial."

In order to make the significant changes to your mind that are
required in order to play at your fullest potential consistently,
you need to completely re-program your mind at the subconscious
level. That
is where your core beliefs reside. Your core beliefs
are the 'main controlling mechanism' for creating the
player you become.
How
do you re-program your subconscious mind?
You
need to first clear the negative patterns and then feed
your subconscious every day with appropriate positive self-talk
or what is also knows as affirmations.
Studies
show that the average person has over 60,000 thoughts
on a given day. Unfortunately for a lot of people, these
thoughts are negative.
You
are feeding your mind daily with negative self-talk that
negatively programs your subconscious in a way that is
completely opposite from the way that you want to, and
should be, programming your mind in order to reach your
full potential.
Now,
think about the negative comments that you have heard over
the years from your peers, your teammates, your coaches,
your opponents, your teachers, and sometimes even your
parents. This, combined with your own negative
self-talk, has all led to the negative subconscious programming
that is at the core of all of the mental barriers that
are holding you back.
A
Revolutionary New System
I
would like to introduce you to a revolutionary new system
that will help you to completely re-program your subconscious
mind yourself. This system will first work to
clear all of your negative thoughts and beliefs, and
then it works to install the right positive thoughts
and beliefs- the same thoughts and beliefs that most
of the hockey players at the highest levels already have.
The
real power in this system comes from the proven subconscious
programming methods developed by the famed Bulgarian psychotherapist
Dr. Georgi Lozanov. The method is called suggestopedia.
This method has been used for the past 40 years in Accelerated
Learning courses all over the world.
| You
can read about this method and variations of this
method in the book "Superlearning 2000" by
Lynn Schroeder, Sheila Ostrander, and Nancy Ostrander. |
|
The effectiveness of suggestopedia has been proven time and time
again in several University studies around the world. It
has been used to help students learn foreign languages
5 to 10 times faster than normal.
Today,
suggestopedia is used to clear negative patterns and
install the positive beliefs at the subconscious level-
the positive beliefs that are required to excel at any
sport. It is especially effective when used in athletics
that require peak mental states in order to reach full
potential- such as in Ice Hockey.
I
have developed a system for hockey players that utilizes
a variation of the Suggestopedia methodology. I
have combined a relaxation program, specific Baroque
classical music, negative pattern clearing, and positive
affirmations to form an effective system to help hockey
players to essentially re-program their subconscious
mind quickly and with little effort.
Here
is how this revolutionary new system works:
-
5
minute total relaxation program to
put the listener into the optimal state to receive
the desired suggestions. This state gives the listener
a completely relaxed body, yet a totally alert mind.
It is referred to as alert relaxation.
-
Clearing
of all negative patterns. Before
any positive affirmations can be effective, all
negative and non-supportive patterns need to be
cleared out. The negative patterns are cleared
using a variation of the proven suggestopedia method.
More on this in a minute.
-
Listening
to specific positive affirmations repeated
rhythmically 3 times each, over the special "Baroque
Background Music". More on this in
a minute.
The
real power in this system lies in the proven "Baroque Background
Music." The Baroque Background Music
used has 60 beats per minute. Classical music from
the Baroque Masters has been found to work the best.
This music by itself has been shown to slow the heartbeat,
lower blood pressure, and reduce stress. This creates
more efficient body rhythms. It's real power shows
up when combined with accelerated learning systems.
Research
has found that this Baroque music puts you into a state
of alert relaxation- the optimal state to enable
your subconscious mind to accept desired suggestions.
It
essentially opens communication pathways to the subconscious.
This
is a completely effortless method that creates lasting
changes to your subconscious belief system.
You
just have to press play every day and follow the instructions
on the audio's.
This
powerful system is made up of a set of hockey player
specific Audio Scripts that you obtain right here
by downloading them as MP3's or by ordering them on CD.
Complete instructions are included either way. If you opt
to download the MP3's, you save money, and you can easily
burn your own CD that you can listen to in your portable
CD player, or you can transfer them to your portable MP3
player.
This
system utilizes the appropriate scripts digitally recorded
in the most effective way to install new beliefs and
to help you to achieve maximum results in the least amount
of time.
You
may be thinking that this sounds too simple to actually
work. Try it! Better yet, try it risk free! If you
implement this system for 60 days, you will be amazed
at the changes you experience. If you are at all not
satisfied with the system after implementing it for
at least 60 days, return it within 90 days for a full
refund. |

be played in the background anytime throughout

and beliefs that you learn in the main program.

This
system has been several years in the making and includes
all of the right scripts stated in the most effective way,
set to the special 60 beats per minute Baroque music. Many
hours of research and planning went into this system. There
is no other program like this for hockey players available
anywhere.
My
first inclination was to charge $97 for this CD set. Even
at that price, it would be an incredible value. After much
thought, I decided that it should be affordable for every
hockey player, regardless of their financial situation.
At
this time, I am only charging $37 for
the complete system on CD. Even better, you can
save $10 plus shipping costs by purchasing the downloadable
MP3's and burning your own CD's or transferring them to
your portable MP3 player. The cost for the entire Player's
Mind Mental Training Audio System Volume I on downloadable
MP3's is only $27.
These
prices will eventually increase, so take advantage now
and save.
