Question 6

How does the Athlete Mental Architecture Audit work?

Accepted Answer

The Athlete Mental Architecture Audit is a free 5-minute self-diagnostic for elite athletes. It scores 15 questions across 5 mental architecture systems (Pressure, Identity, Recovery, Confidence, Focus) and identifies the primary and secondary leak. Each athlete receives personalized results explaining what the leak looks like in their sport, why it is costing them, and the first move to take this week. Available at coachedsuccess.com/audit.

Question 7

How is performance psychology different from coaching?

Accepted Answer

Coaching gives you techniques. Performance psychology consulting rebuilds the system underneath your performance. Most coaching addresses surface symptoms (motivation, accountability, mindset). Performance psychology consulting diagnoses why those symptoms appear, then rebuilds the cognitive and identity architecture that produces sustainable elite performance.
