Life & Mental Performance Coaching

Counseling and Coaching are very similar in that clients are seeking to change or work through something in their lives. Counseling typically involves a problem in which the client and therapist work together to come to a solution to overcome the problem. Coaching, on the other hand, may not involve a problem to overcome, but may be more about performance improvement. A coaching client may be functioning satisfactorily in a given area of his/her life, but is looking for that extra something to make it even better. There can be a lot of crossover between Counseling and Coaching, and professional counselors are trained in both. For this reason, our coaching clients can expect the same professionalism and privilege of confidentiality that our counseling clients appreciate.

Mental Performance Coaching uses sport psychology to work with athletes to help them improve their performance in their game by working on the mental aspect of that game. Assessments include performance profiling, self-control assessments, and other issues such as:

• Relaxation/Visualization/Imagery/Meditation
• Stress/Burnout
• Emotional Problems in Sports (such as anger control issues)
• Effects of Drugs and Alcohol
• Relationship and Support System Focus

Right Thought works with individuals to improve work performance to the best of their abilities as well as teach people how to work with each other better. Issues that we can work in coaching include:

• Managing the difficult client/customer/patient relationship
