| Myths |

Athletes only require rigorous physical training, not mental
training, to succeed |
|

| My Responses |
|
"When you think negative thoughts, negative things happen.
It's important to train your brain to think positively." [from
MD News] |
|
"Athletes have a physical trainer who helps them prepare for
the game, and I help train them to be at their peak performance
mentally." [from MD News] |
|
"We go through different exercises from positive
affirmations to hypnosis sessions. I developed a program
called Spartan Mental Training." [from MD News]. |
|
Through hypnosis, cognitive therapy, mental conditioning and relaxation techniques, Dr. Pappas and the Hartwood
Wellness Center is helping clients and athletes improve their
lives and performance. Check out the video on the
testimonial page to see some of those positive results. |
