Experience

Mike Margolies: Sport Psychology Consultants @  TheMental-Game.com

When you want to be the best that you can be and the one thing you are missing is the right Mental Game what do you do?  Well, athletes from all over the country have been seeking out Mike Margolies for over 15 years  for his expertise in helping them live up to their potential.  He has worked with athletes from professional football to elite level figure skating and every sport in between.  They have sought his counsel and unique teaching style to learn about the game within the game, or what sport psychology and mental training can do to help them become the athlete they want to be.  He is a former athlete that when he retired from high level competition knew there had to be more than just natural talent and fitness to make athletes successful.  Mike studied under some of the most successful sport scientists and sport psychologists in the United States.
He was training professional and elite athletes before he was twenty-two and has helped guide many to world championships and even the Superbowl.  One national champion recently called him after thirty years to thank him again for his help.  Mike founded Sport Psychology Consultants  and has helped almost 2000 athletes over the years.  Mike has taught at five Universities and completed research at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Passion and Motivation

Mike’s passion today is working with high school and college age athletes giving them the mental edge.  The quest is not to get to the Olympics or the Pros.  It starts with learning to be the best you can be.  Professional sports or the World Championships are only in reach when you are fulfilling your own destiny.  When you are the best that you can be, your level of life satisfaction and happiness will lead you to success, and if that is in the competitive arena, then there is little that can hold you back.  He feels it is not his position to inspire or motivate athletes to perform to their potential, rather to help them find what it is that will inspire and motivate them from within.  You must learn that it is more important to be able to push your own button, than to rely on others to do it for you.

The Business World

Mike’s work with teams over the years has enabled him to bring his experiences to the corporate world.  He has helped nationally recognized companies build great sales and project teams with the help of the same types of strategies he has used in working with sports teams.  Team coaching, corporate consulting to inspire winning sales and project teams, keynote addresses and individual consultations are all available through Sport Psychology Consultants.

The Book

His new book  is called “The Athlete Within You”.  It is for all of the athletes and businesses out there working to achieve more, by using psychological skills training for success.
