Frequently Asked Questions About
Mental Management Training
Â
1. What is the Mental Management® System?
The Mental Management® System is a proven approach to mental training developed by Olympic Gold Medalist Lanny Bassham. It teaches athletes and other performers how to control their thoughts before, during, and after competition.
The system focuses on developing confidence, strengthening Self-Image, reducing mental errors, and improving consistency under pressure.
2. How can mental training help athletes perform better under pressure?
Mental training helps athletes develop a repeatable mental process they can trust in competition.
Many athletes perform well in practice but struggle when the pressure increases. Mental Management® teaches competitors how to direct their thinking, manage distractions, and maintain confidence when performance matters most.
3. Why do athletes perform well in practice but struggle in competition?
One common reason is that athletes change their thinking when they compete.
In practice, they may focus on executing their skills. In competition, they begin worrying about scores, outcomes, or what others think.
The Mental Management® System teaches athletes to focus on the mental process that supports successful performance instead of allowing outcome concerns to interfere.
4. How is Mental Management different from traditional sports psychology?
Sports Psychology is based on psychology. Mental Management® is a practical training system developed through Lanny Bassham’s experience as an Olympic competitor and mental performance coach.
It emphasizes teaching athletes a specific mental process they can practice and apply before, during, and after performance.
The system also addresses Self-Image, confidence, and the development of productive mental habits.
Mental Management can complement other approaches to sport psychology and mental performance training.
5. How can I receive personalized mental performance coaching from Lanny Bassham?
Lanny Bassham offers personalized mental performance training through Zoom consultations and structured training programs.
These programs help competitors develop an individualized Mental Management® System, overcome distractions, strengthen confidence, and improve consistency in competition.
