At Navesink Wellness Center, we understand the unique challenges elite athletes face.

What To Expect in Our Performance Coaching Program:
At Navesink Wellness Center, our performance coaching program is built on the foundation of collaboration between a therapist and a performance coach, ensuring that every athlete receives the well-rounded care they need to thrive both mentally and physically. Here’s how this team-based approach works:
Initial Assessment by a Therapist: Every athlete begins with a comprehensive assessment by a licensed therapist. This initial evaluation focuses on understanding the athlete’s mental health, emotional well-being, and any psychological barriers that could be impacting performance. The therapist identifies key areas that may require ongoing clinical support, setting the foundation for a personalized plan.
Ongoing Clinical Support: Once the initial assessment is complete, the therapist stays in close contact, providing ongoing clinical assistance as needed. For deeper rooted mental health concerns, the therapist is there to ensure that the athlete’s emotional safety and well-being are supported throughout the performance journey. This allows athletes to focus on their sport while knowing they have someone who can help them manage underlying psychological concerns.
Performance Coach for Real-Time Support: The performance coach, on the other hand, works directly with the athlete on real-time performance issues. Whether it’s mental blocks, sport-specific challenges, or goal setting, the performance coach provides consistent support and strategies to help athletes push through their challenges. The coach focuses on building mental strength, enhancing focus, and developing sport-specific techniques that optimize performance under pressure. This support takes place on your terms – whether that’s on the field, in the gym or during practice. Coaches observe you in your environment, providing personalized, real-time feedback and guidance.
Seamless Collaboration: The therapist and performance coach maintain open communication, regularly discussing the athlete’s progress and any emerging issues. This collaboration ensures that the athlete receives integrated support that addresses both their mental health and their performance. If a deeper emotional challenge arises, the therapist is readily available to step in, while the performance coach continues to focus on strategies for real-time improvement.
This collaborative model allows athletes to benefit from a multi-faceted approach that addresses both the psychological and performance-related aspects of their journey, ensuring they have the tools to overcome any obstacle, whether mental or physical.
