“This Program Stretches Your Mind and Capabilities as a Coach”
“At any level of sport, your mindset makes a significant contribution to your performance. More so at the elite level where it is the difference that makes the difference, it all starts with your thinking. Dr. Cohn’s MGCP program taught me how to help athletes understand how their mind and their thinking can be their best friend or worst enemy, how mental blocks can sabotage performance and what to do to overcome these obstacles so athletes can be the very best version of themselves, more often. There’s no doubt this program stretches your mind and capabilities as a coach. You will find it tough and demanding but ultimately, stick at it and it will be incredibly rewarding. The mixture of videos, readings, case studies, exercises, webinars and role play exercises means you get everything you need to help an athlete give their brain and body a positive blueprint of who they want to be when competing and how they want to go about their game.”*
~Mark Russell, MBA, MGCP
“Dr. Cohn’s MGCP program exceeded my expectations”
“Dr. Cohn’s MGCP program exceeded my expectations. His dedication and love for what he does shows in his teaching styles and his ability to thoroughly explain tough topics. I took this course because I’m a firm believer that an athletes mental strength is the most vital piece to their success. I wanted to be able to educate and help bring awareness to athletes about the importance of their mental game. My athletes are already seeing results and I cannot wait to see their overall growth. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to be an individual mental strength coach or that wants to help build their teams overall mental game.”*
~Meghann Treacy, MGCP
“Dr. Cohn’s program provided excellent understanding of the mental game”
“When I first learned trap shooting, the experienced old timers who taught me the game all agreed that after you’ve shot for a year or so the sports becomes only 10% technical. The other 90% is mental. Sounded wise to me at the time, but it became clear that none of them had any mental game coaching advice. I was technically trained by 2 of the finest trap shooting legends in the world. Their mental games were undoubtedly awesome, but that was a skill they only touched upon. over the years I figured some mental game lessons out for myself and shared them with young fellow shooters. I enrolled in the MGCP course because I was frustrated by what I didn’t know. Dr. Cohn’s program provided excellent understanding of the mental game, how to think about it, how to apply it, and how to make a difference with it. Our weekly class discussions were challenging, intense and extremely fulfilling. They say that “delight” comes from getting all you had hoped for and much more that you never even thought about. this package has it all. I’m delighted to be counted among the graduates.”*
~Robert Petersen, Ph.D., MGCP

~Gene Moretti, MGCP
“Provides a framework and step-by-step method”
“I’ve been involved in coaching for over 30 years and included mental skills to help close the gap between potential and performance. I’ve attended numerous workshops relating to sport psychology throughout my career along with receiving a graduate degree in behavioral studies. Dr. Cohn fully shares his knowledge and extensive library of audio, visual, and printed materials with his class. What I found most valuable is that this program provided a framework and step-by-step method of evaluation and implementation of the sound principles that he teaches; all of which are research based, accepted, and on the cutting edge of sport psychology.”*
~Jim Bonfiglio, M.Ed., Certified MGCP, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134
“Helped me to become a better coach”
“I just wanted to thank you for sharing so many of your ideas which has helped me to become a better coach. Last week, you sent me a handout about compiling a game plan when playing a practice round. I used that this weekend with one of my junior golfers that I have been working with for a month and today he won his first tournament of the year. I am not writing because he won, but because of your effort, I am better prepared to teach the mental skills of golf. For that I am thankful.”*
~Chuck Yaeger, MGCP
“All of our doubts and questions have been answered in full”
“Overall my MGCP Course gave me a new powerful way to work, I was very lucky to be in a class with interesting and competent students that made the learning even more extensive. We had discussions guided by Dr. Cohn over questions and issues brought by all classmates that added further insight to the program. All of our doubts and questions have been answered in full. I now have many new ideas and tools to work with my students in order to make my mental game programs even more useful and enjoyable. Thank you Dr. Cohn!”*
Camilla Dettori, MGCP

~Dr. Mike Procaccini, MGCP
“The MGCP program will be vital to your success!”

If you are a coach or professional helping athletes or performers succeed, the MGCP program will be vital to your success!”*

“Dr. Cohn’s MGCP program is an outstanding opportunity to advance in the mental work with athletes. It is all practical, soundly theoretically based, and covers the major aspects. Dr. Cohn is an impressive authority, a good presenter, and assists with additional or tailored information whenever asked for. The web site as knowledge base, and the program itself offer compiled information, that can’t be found elsewhere (I’ve completed other programs, and know other web-sites in this field). My deep and sincere thanks for the course – it was impressive, the weekly classes as well as the entire program. I am honored by and very happy with the MGCP program, thank you.”*

~Larry A. Bennett, MGCP
“I am so thrilled to have been a part of your classes”
“Since I enrolled in the MGCP program, one of my students has taken a 360 degree u-turn. His first tournament out for this season ‘He Won’! I’ve never seen this kid so confident, his expectation levels were low, and he played in the process beautifully. He prepared for the tournament like a pro and to watch him perform in the raw conditions of the weather was a piece of art. I am so thrilled to have been a part of your classes. Thanks again for this program. I really appreciate it.”*
~ Ron Laster, MGCP
“Many of the approaches were immediately successful”
“Just a short follow-up on a success story. The place kicker for University of Cincinnati missed 2 PAT’s and “shanked” a 20-yard field goal last week in his first college game. I was asked to work on his mental preparation. The problems(s) with his performance were very consistent with many of the athletes, who do not perform well – negative thoughts, decreased confidence, failing expectations, and poor mental preparation for games/kicking attempts. In addition to developing a plan very consistent with your approach, I had the film crew prepare a video of his “successful” attempts. During the game last night (on ESPN), he went 5-5, and even kicked his personal best/longest – 55 yards!! I was very pleased that many of the approaches that were developed through your program were immediately successful.”*
~Peter J. Ganshirt, Psy.D. MGCP
“It’s a must for all serious coaches”
“The MGCP course exceeded my expectations. Having studied Psychology along time ago at University, and having attended numerous mental training courses through the PGA, I was hesitant at first about the financial investment of US$4000. But having completed the course I feel that it represents remarkable value, especially when you consider the number of supporting documents, which you can use with your students. The MGCP program is the packaging of a complete mental training program for athletes, and represents the study and experience of Dr Patrick Cohn over the last 20 years, and is a must for all serious coaches.”*
~Jonathan Wallett, PGA member, MGCP
“The knowledge was vital”
“Thank you Dr. Cohn for delivering such a great certification program. The MGCP has been different from other classes I have taken. With MGCP I received a clear plan to take my athletes through; a detailed understanding of the cause/effect relationship of mental skills, and the most important part was the numerous resources supplied to help train athletes on the mental game. The knowledge was vital, however what made the difference was the application of the knowledge through real case studies and interaction with the class. I can’t wait to use this with my athletes!”*
~Rick Sessinghaus, MGCP
“Refreshing and inspiring!”
“I want to thank you for a great course. Your ability to relate the research into practical terms and to an unbelievably wide variety of sports was invaluable. You readily had real life examples to illustrate the practical side to mental game coaching and sport psychology. Your openness to share all you have learned and help new MGCPs maximize their potential and avoid common errors was refreshing and inspiring. A real bonus is the resources I now have to continue my successful coaching. I look forward to ongoing communication and collaboration with my MGCP colleagues. Thank you!”*
~Dean Hebert, MGCP, Mindset for Performance
“MGCP program was extremely valuable and well organized”
“Peak Performance Sports’ MGCP program was extremely valuable and well organized. Dr. Cohn’s professionalism and experience comes through in the resources and handouts that are provided, the case studies and homework that are required, and the real life business examples. Dr. Cohn does a great job challenging the MGCP’s to be better and puts us in a great position to be successful as a mental game coaching professional. I would strongly recommend the MGCP program to anyone who wants to improve their abilities and the performance of the athletes they work with.”*
~Jeff Flees, Golf Confidence Coach
“Take the course and watch your athletes excel”
“As a psychologist, I had read theories about maximizing athletic performance for years. What I lacked, however, was a systematic, concrete approach to assist an athlete in unlocking his/her maximum performance. Dr. Cohn’s assessment instruments in combination with his workbooks on the critical elements and post competition evaluation forms gave me, the coach, the much needed tools I needed to apply my knowledge. Having taught these important principles for twenty plus years to elite athletes around the world in all types of sports, his depth of knowledge is unsurpassed. Take the course and watch your athletes excel!”*
~David A. Williams, Ph.D., MGCP, Atlanta, GA
“Now, I have the knowledge to help athletes perform at their best”
“As part of my professional development in the work of sports psychology, I entered the MGCP Program. I wanted a program that has an applied sports psychology focus. Dr. Cohn used an adult learning model to teach the course, providing academic content and experiential components. The most significant thing I learned, as a mental game coach, was the stages of mental coaching. Before the course, my delivery of sports psychology topics was limited. Now, I have the knowledge and a comprehensive understanding on how to help athletes perform at their best.”*
~Tony Melito, MGCP
“I wish I’d done this certification course earlier!”
“Dr. Cohn, You have provided me with a very organized and effective structure (including training materials) for coaching mental skills. I was already applying some of these strategies while still undergoing the program, and the feedback from my athletes was very positive. I wished I’d done this certification course earlier!”*
~Hanson Bay, BSc PSY, BA PE
“It’s been one of my best investments”
“I am so pleased with the MGCP program provided by Dr. Cohn. His teaching style and organization made learning from him both fun and energizing. He has prepared me well to work with any sport or athlete I choose. This program not only prepared me to provide Mental Game Coaching, but also gave me a new perspective on the importance of the mind and success. Thanks for all your hard work and it’s been one of my best investments.”*
~Wayne E. Davidson, LMHC, Certified MGCP
“It really gave me confidence”
