<h3>(425) 241-6539</h3>
<h3>SKYPE @ Mike.Margolies</h3>
<h3>email- Margolies@TheMental-Game.com</h3>
<h2>Mike Margolies- Sport Psychology Consultant-Author- Speaker- Sports Hypnotist</h2>
<p>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 Sport Psychologist Mike Margolies for close to thirty-five 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 coaching / consulting style to learn about the game within the game, or what sports psychology and mental training can do to help them become the athlete they want to be. Today Mike works mostly with youth and college athletes.  He has a program for every athlete. Let&#8217;s talk about  &#8221;What Sports Psychology is all about&#8221;.<br />
He is the author of  <em><strong>&#8220;The Athlete within You&#8221;   Let him help you with your Peak Performance!</strong></em></p>

<h3>I&#8217;d like you to consider this value proposition. How much time do you spend working on performance? How much money and energy does it take to increase your level of performance. Mental Training is the best value around based on time, energy and $$.</h3>
<h3>So you haven&#8217;t called yet? First 20 minutes are on me. Find out why the mental game is the critical factor in your success or failure at any level. The mind &#8211; body connection will help you perform to your greatest ability.</h3>
