People often ask me, ”What’s Inside the Zone Sports Performance Group (ITZ), and how can ITZ help me?”

Inside the Zone Performance Group was born out of a passion and genuine intention to be a resource for athletes, parents and coaches. In establishing Inside the Zone, the goal was to provide an approachable resource for:
-
Athletes of all sports and ages to refer to with questions on the mental game
-
Parents to refer to as they navigate the process of raising a competitive child
- Coaches to gain ideas regarding how to best coach the current “millennial generation” of players

Let’s face it! The mental side plays a crucial role in any sport, and it’s not easy to navigate, especially as a middle school, high school, college or club player. In fact, with all the increased specialization among sports, development of club teams, and physical training advancements, it is mind-boggling that the most critical issues regarding the mental game and competition among young athletes have not been addressed. These issues include, but are not limited to:
-
Competing under pressure
-
Handling setbacks and using them to bounce back
-
Concentrating under pressure
-
Staying centered, focusing on the process of growth instead of the scoreboard
-
Crafting strategies for goal setting, and reaching beyond self-imposed barriers toward limitless peak potential.
-
Resolving performance blocks like the yips, choking, and freezing
Inside the Zone Performance Group’s mission is to address these issues and more. The result leads to a performer’s increased confidence, newfound passion, sense of empowerment, and the ultimate attainment of their goals.
Inside the Zone helps with problems like Yips (Baseball Yips, Golf Yips, Tennis Yips) - Sports Performance Blocks and Overcoming them (Baseball Performance Blocks like "Catcher Can't Throw" and "Pitcher Throws Wild") and Rob provides consulting, workshops, coaching, and much more.
