Clinical studies have indicated that college students are inundated with stress, pressures and uncertainties. Not to mention, are put into an environment that is risky and away from the security of family and home. Life coaching and imagery is an excellent resource for college students who are struggling to make life-long important decisions.

Sports Performance
Imagery for Peak Performance - Imagery forSports

For decades, athletes have used mental imagery and visualization to enhance their performance, stamina and accuracy. Many sports such as football, swimming, volleyball, golf, tennis and skating, etc. not only require physical skills, but a strong mental game as well. 

Many coaches from the olympics stressed the fact that sports performance is 90% mental and only 10% physical.  Especially in sports where hundredths of a second or tenths of an inch separate the champions from the mediocre athletes, an extra edge can be extremely crucial.  Therefore, athletes are turning towards mental imagery to take their game to the next level. And enhance sports performance.  

Not only does mental imagery enhance athletic performance, it has been shown to:

• enhance motivationenhance sports performanceteach problem solving skillsimprove focus and concentrationgoal settingdecrease distractionsassist in recovery from injuries
• enhance self confidence and attitude
  

Michael Phelps "the difference between the person that brings home the gold or silver is the person's state of mind."

This past season, Lebron James was recently harassed and hit intentionally with the intent to cause harm and injury. When eased if he was shaken, he responded, "not a bit, keeping the mind focused and being mentally prepared is the key".

Diane's Life Coaching approach, "Think Smarter"
Has been used by athletic coaches for decades:

"The key principles of goal setting:

Specific – Indicate precisely what is to be done. Avoid vague alternatives
Measurable – You should be able to quantify your goal
Accepted – Goals must be accepted as worthwhile, realistic and attainable
Recorded – Write your goals down. This is the basis of a contract with yourself
Time-constrained – Set specific time limits
Evaluated – Monitor your progress regularly
Reversible – Goals can be reset continually as needed

Life is a roller coaster of ups and downs. Human growth is a process of experimentation. It is a series of trials, and errors. The downs in life are actually more valuable than the successes." The key is the awareness of the lesson learned, as well as the desire to work towards a fresh and new tomorrow.

As Scott Hamilton often says "...falling in life is not the issue,
but choosing how to get up is the key..."

Working with Diane one- on-one as your personal imagery coach can give you a new, fresh and invigoration perspective on life. Our aim is to assist our client to accept where they are and to develop a road map to follow as they travel down their path towards growth, self respect and happiness.

"Life Coaching is a practice with the stated aim of helping clients determine and achieve personal goals. Life coaches use numerous learning approaches to assist clients with the process of setting and reaching goals in ways that are best for them.

Coaching is not targeted at psychological illness, and coaches are not therapists nor consultants.They will not tell you what to do. They will not solve your problems. However, they will work with you to identify the unique, inner strengths that you have."

Diane will be your confidential, safe sounding board, your listener and your partner. She will accept you for who you are, not for where you are in life. She will encourage you to stay focused on your path.

Our goal is to watch you grow, and to maximize your strengths so that you can live life to your full potential."

Life is a succession of lessons
which must be lived to be understood.
- Helen Keller

"Life Coaches are trained to listen, to be supportive, and to understand. They work with their clients to design and customize a unique and effective plan. Coaches are not there to provide answers for you. They will not put a band aid on a problem. However, they are there to assist you to become aware of the very important resource that you already have inside, and your personal strengths.

Your personal strengths are you foundation towards change. Changes cannot be looked upon as a drive through, it is not instantaneous. It takes thought, planning, effort and much self-evaluation." The International Coach Federation (ICF)

A "Life Coach" is a person that will partner with you move successfully forward in life with
courage, confidence and self-respect
