Mindset Coaching for Poker Players
More than 10 years ago I took a major decision to change my career from being a conventional medical doctor to becoming a mind coach, and working with elite performers. Since then I have worked with many clients, and enjoyed the journey.
However little did I know then that for the last few years my work would be mainly with professional poker players. During this time I have been privileged to coach some of the top players in the world including Rory Brown, Liv Boeree, and Chris Moorman. As you might know Chris is the number one online player of all time, with more than $33 million winnings.
‘A friend of mine suggested Dr. Stephen Simpson who is an elite performance coach from the UK and he agreed to have a couple of sessions with me in which we discussed a ton of stuff that I had never told anyone about before.
In these sessions we did some basic meditation and breathing exercises and I talked about what I wanted to achieve in life both in and outside of poker. He mentioned that I needed to find ‘the zone’ while playing and if I could do that then good things would happen for me.
The key to finding ‘the zone’ was to be solely focused on poker whilst playing but equally important was also to be working on myself as a person outside of poker and to set myself targets consistently.
It is worth noting that I went on to win my first ever live major at the WPT just weeks after my final meeting with Stephen.’ – Chris Moorman
Now I want to work with you, and this video explains briefly what you can expect from me, what you can expect from our coaching program, and what results you can expect for yourself.
If you are interested in raising your game to the next level let us arrange a no obligation call. I hope to speak to you soon.
