Why Join?
Professional isolation, particularly in smaller communities and within specialized practice domains, presents unique challenges for ethical practitioners (Wood et al., 2005). Mental performance coaches need mentorship not just to fulfill certification requirements but to actively grow and refine their practice. This group mentorship program is designed to support professionals by:
- Identifying goals and action plans for advancing professionally
- Obtaining mentorship hours in an engaging and cost-effective way
- Developing or honing a personal theory of optimal performance
- Enhancing both personal and professional growth
- Navigating practical challenges in mental performance consulting across varied settings
- Understanding complex cases and ethical decision-making in conceptualization and intervention
- Connecting with a trusted peer network in a structured, facilitated environment
What to Expect
Dr. Tim Herzog and Dr. Kris Eiring will co-lead this 20-hour group mentorship experience for licensed (or license-eligible) mental health providers beginning in March, 2025. This program is structured to help participants refine consulting skills, deepen their understanding of athlete mental performance, and build meaningful professional relationships. Drawing from extensive applied experience and sport psychology literature, topics will include:
- Ethical decision-making in mental performance consulting (Herzog & Zito, 2023)
- Case conceptualization and intervention strategies (Herzog et al., 2023)
- Differentiating between mental performance consulting and psychotherapy (Herzog & Hays, 2012)
- Evidence-informed interventions integrating performance psychology and clinical techniques (Herzog, Eiring, & Bartley, 2022)
- Self-regulation training and personalized consulting approaches (Herzog et al., 2018; Hathaway & Eiring, 2010; Winter et al., 2024)
