Training Competitive Intelligence
Critical knowledge and instruction missing from player, coach, team, and program development. Key to neutralizing Distracted Player / Coach Risk.
Competitive Intelligence transforms players, teams, and programs by filling a Learning Gap created by over-weighting physical and technical development at the expense of the Mind.
All athletes possess the necessary balance of size, strength, speed, skill, and smarts to compete at their level. The best win by consistently achieving the high awareness to see and do before others. Unknowingly they have optimized decision-making and execution by assimilating behavior best developing and supporting High Intuitive Function (HIF).
HIF triggers Peak Performance (Flow State, the Zone) by projecting expectations tightly aligned with events as they occur. Variance is minimized. Details are viewed in high definition. Precise adjustments secure outcomes desired. Targeted effort and sensitivity for preparedness replace distraction and conflict. Knowledge transfers and information flows to accelerate improvement.
Consider Gretzky, Aaron, Jordan, Montana (and now Brady). None of them possessed the physical ability to dominate their opponents:
- Gretzky consistently anticipated the open ice. This maximized opportunity to have the puck on his stick.
- Aaron developed superior awareness for how the pitcher worked the count. Empowering him to consistently anticipate pitch and location.
- Jordan's targeted effort and sensitivity for preparedness generated awareness superior to competitors before the game even started. His Mind was already in the 4th Quarter.
- Montana and Brady knew where and when a receiver would break open because of their superior awareness for defensive schemes and personnel.
- Strong conviction for who, what, and when to trust; starting with self empowered each of them to believe no matter how little time or how great the deficit they could win. They were consumed by anticipating the next opportunity to compete.
Competitive Intelligence upgrades the Brain's OS by structuring the Mind to develop and support HIF. Untapped potential is accessed, developed, and amplified to accelerate player development. Performance improves through more precise and timely internal and external communication.
The Intuitive Development Process strengthens behaviors causing the Brain to filter, process, and apply information most effectively. Players and coaches learn how to take apart, rebuild, add horsepower to, and fine-tune the Cognitive Engine optimizing decision-making and execution.
Development accelerates and performance improves as players and coaches align to tangible understanding for how improvement and performance are best directed and supported. Tangible understanding is superior to abstract / subjective attempts to quantify personal accountability; and why significant competitive advantage is gained.
Social and cultural distractions are drowned out as players and coaches become addicted to professional and personal fulfillment experienced through self-directed improvement.
Phase 1 of Competitive Intelligence requires 20 hours of time over 4 weeks to complete on-demand instruction and exercises. Phase 2 ensures practical application through a 90-Day Reflection Cycle guiding fine-tuning of Cognitive Engine to individual development and performance needs.
Name and email are the only personal information collected. All homework, exercises, reflections are done off-line in personal journal. No work is submitted. Knowledge Quizzes track progress. Certificate is earned. Live on-line and on-site training options are available.
Benefits:
- Leadership develops, communicates, and supports performance expectations most effectively.
- Coaches gain the understanding, knowledge, and tools to best direct and support player development (and each other).
- Players self-calibrate to beliefs and behaviors best developing and supporting High Intuitive Function so they make the most plays.
- Executives / Administrators, coaches, players, and staff align to shared understanding for how improvement and performance are best directed and supported.
- The entire organization / department is aligned to attract and retain top talent (players, coaches, and executives).
