River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- Jay P. Granat, Ph.D., psychotherapist, author and founder of www.stayinthezone.com teaches athletes from virtually every sport how to get into the zone and stay there.
Recently, an Olympic Gold Medalist and a group of twenty four Olympic coaches and sports doctors from Japan came to New Jersey to learn about the mental aspects of competing in top level sports. This group of elite athletes, coaches and health care providers attended a one day seminar conducted by Jay P. Granat, Ph.D.
"The Japanese competitors and their coaches wanted to learn more about my approaches to getting athletes to perform to their fullest potential. With the help of an interpreter, I taught them some of the methods I use with young athletes, professional athletes, Division I athletes, Olympic hopefuls and weekend warriors," says Dr. Granat.
The attendees included an Olympic Gold Medalist in gymnastics from the 2004 Games in Athens.
The group of twenty four visitors listened carefully as Dr. Granat spoke about motivation, focus, confidence and ways for athletes, coaches and parents to better their relationships with one another. According to Granat, the health of these relationships has a lot to do with an athlete's success.
During the seminar, Dr. Granat presented case histories involving many different athletes from a wide range of sports. While there are some cultural differences in training methods employed in Japan and in America, many of the performance issues remain essentially the same.
"I love working with competitors from different sports. They all come to see me to find out how they can get into the zone. In the process, they teach me a lot about themselves and their sports. In a typical week, I might counsel a tennis player, a golf pro, a baseball pitcher, a hockey goalie and a wrestler. I have even gotten calls from rodeo cowboys and I am currently counseling a jockey. " remarks Granat.
Next month, Dr. Granat will lecture to one hundred and fifty football players who want to get mentally tougher when they compete. These athletes are participating in an intensive camp for football players who play on special teams.
