Exposed! Incredible Secrets
to Destroy Your Competition –
Your competition will wake up at 2:00am, unable to sleep, so afraid to play you, and wishing you didn't exist!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to know that your competitors were dreading the moment they had to walk on the court, look across the net, and see you standing there ready to dominate & destroy them.

I continually hear the comment "I have no clue how you guys beat us!" Other coaches, referees, and my competitors repeatedly approach me wondering what happened to their team when everything seemed to be in their favor. I usually smile and humbly say, "We played well today. It was a good match."

What You Don't Know "Will" Hurt You!

However, I think to myself, "If this person only knew the secrets that give me and my teams the magical advantage, they would be asking a totally different question!"

That question would be:
"How in the world do you get your athletes to stay focused, determined, and relentless so consistently, while being so relaxed all at the same time?"


Ya see, the funny thing about coaches and athletes who are trying to improve, after they lose, is that they think they need to work harder and harder. After my team or another team beats them, they'll get mad and say, "We need to work harder, try harder, pass more balls. ya da ya da.. however,

They are totally WRONG!

The myth of trying to correct mistakes with longer and longer hours of repetitions is old and will hopefully soon die out. If you are one of those ancient minded coaches or players who think that the only way to improve is to be in the gym longer hours and get more repetitions.. You need to change your think or younger, smarter, and more innovative coaches are going to be outperforming you....

Also, the idea that the team with the most experience, the most talent, and the most expensive warm-up apparel will win (or at least be the most intimidating) still lingers.

This myth is even more wrong!


I played volleyball for a small school in Davenport, Iowa. When I was a freshman, we went to our first major tournament. We were going to play the team that had finished second in the nation the year before! Needless to say, with four freshman and two sophomores starting, we were downright scared and straight-up intimidated. In warm ups, as they crushed the ball, we watched with dropped jaws, shaky knees, thinking, "we wish we were as good as those guys!" or more honestly, "Oh, S*&$@!"

But, whether I was scared or happy, or whether or not it was my birthday didn’t really matter … we still had to play the game. These were one of those moments, where at that time in my life, I was wishing our bus would've have gotten stuck in a snow storm and we somehow couldn't have made this match
.

And all that wishing and a donut, ain't gonna
make a difference to where I was standing...

 

Ya see..they did all the natural things bigger, better, more experienced, and more sophisticated teams do to smaller, less experienced, and less sophisticated teams. Scare the crap out of them!

They're whole goal seemed to intimidate us! And, quite honestly, they did a pretty good job of it. My team not so proudly wore $5 t-shirts, stamped with a volleyball and the name of our school. None of our shirts would even stay tucked into the $13 generic mesh shorts that we bought at K-mart! While, they wore $100 warm-ups and top-of-the-line uniforms. They all even wore the same shoes. We joked that they probably just spent the last half hour in front of the mirror styling their hair together in the locker room!

When we shook hands, they barely acknowledged us, and then, as expected, they started to beat us like we were a bunch of 12 year olds. We must have made at least five errors in the first six plays.

Scared, Nervous, and Definitely Getting Whooped....


After a time out, we started to settle down. Soon, we began to come back. We lost game 1, but we started to feel that maybe we had a better chance to beat this team than we originally thought. Then, suddenly things turned around! The unknown team from Davenport IA (my team!) stunned and shocked the whole gym. Yes, we won the second game!

I didn’t know it then, but this was my initial encounter with the "Master Keys to Volleyball Mental Toughness" and the myths that go with them...

7 Myths To Volleyball Success that Keep People Failing, Struggling, Wishing, Hoping, and Ultimately Losing A Lot More Than You Need To...


Myth #1:
You have to put in your years. You need tons of experience, and have to be able to kiss up to people in higher positions of authority or who are older than you. Then you can claim your rights to success and respect.

This myth is as real as you or being able to levetate off the ground!!!
Tiger Woods and Logan Tom have shown us that you can be any age and dominate and be worthy of respect. In Master Key #10, when I teach you how to Leap Frog Your Competition, you will find that you never have to be intimidated again and how to become successful regardless of your age or experience. Everything you want is your own birthright to start claiming and striving for now!

Myth #2:
To be Mentally Tough, you need to Look Tough. Act tough. Scare the Hell out of everyone you meet.

Totally false! In fact, it’s just the opposite. When you are mentally tough, you can be more relaxed, confident, and friendlier than ever before, because you aren’t threatened by anyone for any reason!

Myth # 3: Mental Toughness is Genetic.

If you believe this I’m surprised you are reading this course. However, I know that some believe that most characteristics of people are genetic, like athletic abilities or attitudes. While I do agree that genetics plays a big role. I truly feel and know that you can learn to be mentally tougher than you are right now, and much tougher than your competitor!!!

Myth #4: My coach, teacher, psychologist, or parent can teach me how to be mentally tough because he or she is.

This myth is about as false as a bird trying to teach you how to fly! Actually, most people who are mentally tough cannot teach how to do it! Many people do not even recognize some of their personality characteristics unless you point them out. So, although you can learn a whole lot from watching these people and asking them questions, I would be wary about learning mental toughness from another person unless they could tell you specific how-to’s.

"If you find yourself thinking, "Great point, but show me how to do it!"
Keep Reading...

What I mean is, many times coaches, parents, or other players will say, "You need to FOCUS!" "You need to be tougher" "You need to concentrate better!" They are head on with their assessment of what you need, but guess what.

All of those comments give you no clearer direction on "how to focus, be tougher, or concentrate". In this course, my goal is to show you how your brain works so that you can become a master at focusing, concentrating, and being a lot tougher than anyone you ever meet!

There's A Locked Vault Filled With Gold,
That Most Volleyball Players Have
No Hope Of Getting At! You Can Now Have
The Key To The Vault...



Myth #5:
Learning is difficult.

Learning is only as difficult as you make it out to be. My personal belief is "everything" is common sense.... Once you learn it. The process of learning is easy when you understand it.

One important thing to note, is that if you understand that frustration and confusion are two key steps in learning, you will be much more relaxed when those feelings occur. Think about it...

How many times have you seen volleyball players trying to get better at passing or a new shot, and they just get more and more frustrated every time they make a mistake. However, if they only knew that frustration is okay as long as it doesn't overtake your ability. When people get frustrated they tense up, when they should just relax and continue to let things flow.

At the point when most people quit, you now have the advantage!

If, when you realize that you are getting frustrated or confused, you learn to say to yourself, "This is good, because it means I’m about to learn something," you will learn much faster and take more risks.

Myth #6: Change takes a long time!

There is a belief in society that change is difficult, painful, and takes a long time. This traps people into staying depressed, addicted, guilty, in bad relationships, and convinces them to maintain their lives the way they are when they really aren’t happy. In sports, it keeps people making the same painful mistakes over and over again!

For example, just recently I received a letter from a World Class Track Athlete. This is what he wrote:

"Ed,
Your book was absolutely incredible. It helped me to learn so much about
myself and what makes me tick. I was able to get my mind focused and
confident. Your keys approach was excellently set out and i felt that this
really helped me to learn what it was I needed to do. Too many books tell you
what you should be doing but don't tell you how to go about doing it. Your
book was like a step by step manual which was good because in new fields of
interest you need to be guided through the stages so you can get the maximum
benefit from it.

Reading each page again I am learning so much more, and
feel that i can get it right far more consistently if my mental toughness
continues to improve, and hopefully my running improves at the same rate.
I decided to read your book when i felt that i was going a bit 'soft'
mentally throughout my races. I was training really well but it just wasn't
coming together during races. I had just finished a very stressful period at
university and found that I was a bit drained. But looking at things from a
different perspective helped me to realise that these were things that
really shouldn't bother me as much as they did.

I went from running a reasonable time in a 3000m race in my hometown of Adelaide, to a brilliant time in Melbourne less than 2 weeks later. I dropped 18 seconds on my time
that I ran in Adelaide , and furthermore I dropped 12 seconds off of my
Personal Best. I was absolutely thrilled." - Adam Didyk, South Australia

Another Olympic Swimmer just wrote me this note:

"Ed- Just wanted to say thanks! I have been using your tapes and reading your manual. I feel more relaxed and generally better in the water than I have felt before. Last weekend we swam Arizona State in a dual meet, We hadn't beaten them in 5 years and we finally did. I swam an incredible unshaved time. I broke a pool record in the 50yard free and in doing so finshed more than a second ahead of anyone else. I felt that my new found assurance of my ablity helped. Kind Regards!"- Roland Schoeman, 13 time All-American, ranked #1 in the world in the 50 meter freestyle, short course and long course, 50 meter butterfly, represented South Africa at the 2000 Olympics

Why Are Professional and Olympic Level Athletes calling on me everyday for answers to their biggest problems???

Because something I hear from athletes all the time is "I can't change" "It's too hard" "I'm too old" "I've been doing it this way for years" "I've hit the wall and can't get any better, and something I show these top level athletes is....

No Matter How Good You Are Right Now,
There Is Still Another Level That Is Possible For You!

Ya see, change does not have to take a long time. In fact, the process of change actually occurs quickly. It’s a matter of getting to the point of being ready to change that can take long, because people who think they know it all can be really stubborn! I'm sure you know people like this!

They walk around complaining about what they "can't" do, and how the world has mistreated them.. all of that complaining, tears, and a pat on the back only leads me to one line of advice,

Stop Acting Like A Victim!

From every corner of the country, I hear from coaches, "My players seem to freeze up in pressure situations!" "We practiced this, and we passed a ton!
Why can’t we just do it in a game?"

The frustration is obvious. However, I feel worse for the players, because what usually happens is the players get labeled as being weak, not able to focus, not self confident…

But how I look at it is this ,

You Just Haven’t Been Taught How to be Mentally Tough, More Self Confident, and How to Focus like a Volleyball Superstar!

The most important thing that you must be able to gain from this Unique Course and my other materials is that all of those characteristics are skills and can be learned by anyone! Where some people resort to old methods of doing chants, team hugs, slumber parties, everyone tying their shoe laces with the same little red string. While all of that is cool, and I think it is important, especially to keep the sport fun-It DOES NOT guarantee or even predict in the least manner whether or not you are going to play well or not!

In fact, if you aren’t careful you may think just because you all are getting along and like each other, it means that all those good feelings are going to last when everyone starts to play terrible. Unfortunately, that is when most people finally call me and say, "Ed, I don't know what is happening!!!"

As a quick note, getting abnormally excited and pumped up before a big match is one of the positively, absolutely worst ways to prepare for a match. Think about it for a moment! Getting excited for a big game is easy. What you need to do there is get your emotional state, or how you feel, balanced and equal to the emotional state you were in the last time you had an awesome game! Your job is to notice how you are preparing, visualizing, talking to yourself, walking, breathing, so you can gear yourself in the direction you need to go to win and destroy your competitor! I’ll talk more about this later, but if you take this one piece of advice and use it, you will instantly perform better more often!

One of the most amazing side benefits of volleyball mental toughness training is that it is very common for my students and clients to begin maximizing their Potential almost immediately after implementing a few of the strategies!

See, learning how to run your own brain is good. VERY GOOD! Let the other less advanced players fight and starve over who gets to start, and worrying about playing well, and playing time. I’d rather see you being a lot more relaxed, confident, persistent, and certain of your abilities and having your opponents notice this too!

Sound impossible? Believe me. It's very real. See, the level of your game or how you play has very little to do with your competition…but everything to do with how you mentally prepare for that competition! The better you can tap into the psychological and emotional core of your being… the more you can play any competitor and come out as the winner!

Warning! Getting Yourself To Perform At Higher Levels In Today’s Environment, Requires A New Set Of Mental Training
Skills You'll Never Get From Any "Traditional" Source Of Motivation in Volleyball Or Sports Today!

You must understand...

It's exactly 180 degrees the opposite of what you are taught by people who don't have a clue about how competition and psychology really work! The truth is you can press your own powerful emotional buttons for outstanding performance and I am going to show you how!!!

For example, some coaches and players get really mad when you don’t play well against poor competition. But get really excited and happy when you play awesome against great competition. Neither of these are wrong, but my suggestion would be to not get extremely mad or happy either way, just notice the difference of how you prepared both physically and mentally.

I learned this over 10 years ago while watching my little sister’s team. We were out in California for a National Qualifier, and I remember them playing a top level club team, Ichiban. Anyhow, my sisters team was physically comparable and trained just as well, but got totally destroyed. 2 Games and the Match was over!

Her coach was so frustrated with the girls, and what I remember him saying was that their performance had everything to do with how they "warmed up for the game". He, like me, believed that you need to teach the team how to warm up, why it’s important, and then let them run most of their own warm-ups if not all of it.

Ed, What’s your point?!

Most people would have said that the physical preparation was the problem, however, there are 3 important things that coaches miss. First, it was the mental preparation that preceded the physical preparation. The girls didn’t focus on what was most important at the time. This could’ve have been for a number of reasons: fear of failure, underestimating their opponent, fatigue, etc but the point still remains, you need to be able to mentally get yourself prepared, and you are responsible for this – NOONE ELSE!

See, the bottom line is:

Even the world's greatest volleyball player or team, with
the world's greatest technique and strategies...will
choke, freeze, and walk off the court with their heads down in failure and embarrassment, if they don’t learn how to master their mind and emotions!

 

So, tell me Ed....What's the secret that
EVERY successful volleyball player shares?


They Use And Master most of the 10 Master Keys To Mental Toughness… Success Can Be Yours Every Time You Step on The Court! Guaranteed or I'll Eat A Volleyball!!!

But here is the really funny thing about the best volleyball players and athletes in the world...They still benefit from every single Master Key that they implement and use!
That's why top level athletes are coming to me for advice:

"Ed's suggestions and information is the best kept secret in Volleyball Today!" Jenna Wrobel, U.S. Women's National Team, United States Professional Volleyball Team, All American- Michigan State University

"Do you know how people say sports is 90% mental, 10% physical? Ed knows how to teach the 90% that everyone talks about, but few understand!"
Elaina Oden, 1992, 1996, U.S Volleyball Olympian, 4 time All American

"Ed, Your Mental Toughness Programs are so easy to use, and have helped me out tremendously. Every volleyball player should get their hands on it!"
Cristy Chapman, United States Professional Volleyball Player, 1999 Female Athlete of the Year, University of Illinois

Understand, the real trick to surviving and prospering in this new world of volleyball, is to not only take the advice from the so called "experts" and coaches, because that is what your competition is doing. You need to find new and innovative ways to take your game to the next level that your competition "isn’t" doing!

For example, right now, many coaches and players are complaining about the new scoring, the libero position, and the ‘let’ serve (now in club and international, when the ball hits the net and rolls over, it is playable). While they are complaining, other coaches are brain storming, getting excited, and practicing ways to use the rules to their advantage. When these two different coaches meet in competition, who do think is going to win?

You are right! The innovator and doer!

If you took all the time, effort and energy that you now put into worrying, stressing, getting upset over playing time, what your teammates are doing, or what your coaches think, and used it to instead train your brain to be more resourceful and powerful that would a good thing!

Right?


I mean, if you only spent an extra 10 minutes as you drifted to sleep at night to visualize yourself going through the new skill you are learning or defeating your competition. That alone would improve your game! (Warning! There are a lot of myths and wrong ways of teaching visualization that keep people from using this powerful skill)

Any idiot would take a few minutes a day to visualize, if they realized it would propel their game to higher levels, wouldn’t they?



Now I know that sounds kind of pie in the sky-ish. That it sounds too unrealistic. That being steady, dependable, confident, predictable, and winning a lot more when you step on the court, is just not possible...

You might be thinking that while that sounds wonderful, your daily activities are doomed to be devoted to more repetitions, struggling, and forcing yourself to "try" to get better, and hoping your coach or the college scouts see your hidden potential…or whatever. You might be thinking this because:

This is how you've been taught to "mentally prepare" for competition!

Yes, I see it every day. By being on the court at least 3-5 times a week for the past 10 years , playing in college, competing everyday for my starting position for 4 straight years, winning 3 conference championships, being MIVA/NAIA Player of the Year, Tournament Most Valuable Player, named Marycrest University Male Athlete of the Year as a sophomore, having coached collegiate ball, and now coaching 2 of the best club teams in the country; I know what it is like to see players struggle. Hoping that someone will come along and teach them a ‘secret’ strategy to being better. Well, I’ll tell ya… No one came along and taught me how to be Mentally Tougher.

I had to struggle just like most people, and it wasn’t until college where I turned my fears around into momentum. Then it wasn’t until after college, spending a lot of money and time to learn how to teach it to others!

Ya see, I am a lot more like you than you think. I am the 12th of 13 children, and have 25 nieces and nephews. My family all lives within in 15 minutes of each other, and I get to travel more than most people, because of work. If you met me in a gym you wouldn't notice much difference about me than other coaches when it comes to what we wear, drive, and all that other simple stuff.

However, you would notice a few major differences about how I treat my players and especially how they respond to me. How I work with my co-coaches, and especially how I treat my competitors.

Unfortunately, these are one of those things that people buy into when they are young, and rarely ever change because they don’t know they can.

However, you can be mentally tough and I’m going to show you how. When I was in High School, I was one of those kids who was athletic, came from a good family, and outwardly confident, but inwardly questioning everything I did.However, when I received a scholarship to College on Volleyball some things happened that shifted my thinking and made my life a whole lot better.

They All Laughed At Me When We Went 0-11, But Sneered In Envy As I Walked Away With The Trophy!

Ever since then I’ve been searching to find the Ultimate Keys to Mental Toughness.

Here is the outline of the "10 Master Keys to Ultimate Mental Toughness and Destroying Your Competition!"

1. Physiology – Your physiology is the fastest way to manage your emotional state! It’s how you move, breathe. Do you hang your shoulders or keep them back? Is your head up or is it down? If you looked at someone who is really confident and put your body in the same posture, you would find that you would feel more confident.

2. Language/Self Talk-
Talk more positive to yourself. Instead of saying, "I am lazy, fat, or slow". Say I am working on getting faster, healthier, and having more energy!"

3. Visualization-
The best way to prepare your mind for an event. See yourself and the future the way you want it to be. More confident, athletic, successful in all areas of your life. I'll teach you actually how to do this.. No theories, or fluff I promise!

4. Questions: All thinking is, is the process of asking and answering of questions in your mind. The quality of the question you ask yourself will determine the quality of the answer that you get back. For example, if you keep asking "What am I doing wrong?" Your brain will tell you what you are doing wrong. However, if you ask yourself, "What can I do right now, to improve my situation, health, level of motivation, etc.?" Your brain will give you those answers.

5. Positive Self Image, and Self –Expectancy-
How an athlete see’s him/herself and what she expects of him/herself, is the basis on what her behavior will be. It’s that internal thermometer that people live by. If they feel they are playing "above their head" he or she will automatically come down into her normal performance, because of her beliefs. However, if he/she changes what he/she believes about his/her capabilities then what used to be "playing above his/her head" now becomes the norm.

TOP SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED!
Pants Down, Mouth Open, Confused,
Wondering What Hit Them!

That's what will occur after you apply all 10 Master Keys!

Congratulations! You have arrived to the area where I will reveal more of my secrets, and I held out so long to see if you were really committed or just another person who wanted a free lunch. Now that you have waited enjoy...

6. Emotional Power-
This key is about creating only emotions that will support an athlete and move her in a direction that is powerful. When I ask most people what emotions they feel on a weekly basis, they will tell me 3 negative emotions (i.e worried, anxiety, stressed, depressed) to 1 Positive emotion (Happy, Excited, Motivated). That’s normal, but that doesn’t mean it’s what is possible. In my program I teach a series of exercises that release the negative emotions and allow you to feel more positive emotions.

P.S.
All athletic performance is based on the emotional state someone is in!
P.P.S. If you've ever heard of Pavlov's dog, I make it applicable to volleyball. You'll love this part.

7. Creating A Positive Past- Volleyball Players and Coaches who focus on what they’ve done well, while working on improving are much more successful than athletes who focus only on what they’ve done wrong.

8. Create a Clear and Exciting Future- Knowing how to set goals and where you are going is a must. It is what keeps individuals and teams focused, motivated, and excited about what they want to do. If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up where someone else wants you to be.

9. Programming Yourself for Success- This is just taking all the steps and showing you how this impacts your mind and body. If you know that what you think about right before you go to bed runs through your mind 14 times while you sleep, you would know to rehearse mentally your performance because your mind will go through it over and over again. This is one of the best keys to accelerated learning. I'll teach you how to use your unconscious mind to get results you never thought were possible!!!

10. Winning Through Intimidation & The Leap Frogging your Competition- This is a must read for everyone. No matter how old or how young. This idea is about how your competitors will try and use intimidation against you to get the advantage, and if you don’t know that it is going on, it will work. Start noticing how people try and put you down, or make comments that lift them above you. At those times you need to be able to laugh it off and manage your own emotional state.

The Leap Frog Theory is about not thinking you need to be passive or think you are less than anyone, just because they’ve been in the sport, won more championships, or are older than you. In fact, the truth is, the true athlete knows that everyday is new and the real battle is on the court when you are fighting toe to toe. In other words, you can beat anyone, but you must be in the mindset of a champion first, or else you are just "trying" hard, but not doing what it takes to win!

If you gave me two volleyball teams with all the same talent, technical training, and same level of coaches, I absolutely GUARANTEE the team that I taught these strategies to would win!!!

Can you say the same thing? If not, why? There is an unlimited amount of information at your finger tip...
However, the biggest problem with coaches and players is they just aren't willing to put the time in or investment of money in the beginning... so that they can have a lot more of both later!!!

Now I'm sure that if you've read this far, you must be interested in what I'm going to say next. I'm sure you're ready to hear me tell you that there are solutions to these unfortunate problems volleyball players and athletes face today!

And guess what? You'd be right! Because there are very real answers to these most complex of problems.

But, you CANNOT get these answers from your home.
You CANNOT get these answers from your coaches, parents, or teachers, unless they've had extensive training.
You CANNOT get these answers from reading a Volleyball Magazine or talking to other players.
You CANNOT get these answers from attending an assembly full of people listening to a "motivational talk".
No, you CANNOT get these answers from any traditional source of volleyball information video's, pamphlets, or books, because the real answers that I've taught to thousands of volleyball players, coaches, and athletes:

Are Totally Non-Traditional, Mostly Unheard Of, Cost Little...Yet Actually Work!

Yes, my students and members have learned a system of mental toughness training that teaches things like:

Here is the one big thing you need to know that, chances are, no coach, best friend or teammate has ever told you, and that you struggle with constantly:

How To Run Your Own Brain
And Take Charge of Your Emotions To
The Point You Have Absolute Total Control
Over How You Feel, Think, and Perform
On A Daily Basis….Most Importantly, To Know
That Every Time You Walk On The Court, You
Are Going To Live Up To Every Challenge With
Utter Confidence and Certainty!


The "trick" to Volleyball mental toughness, success, and even happiness in your volleyball career is to end the stress of not knowing whether or not you are going to play well in the next game or the next play. To eliminate the drudgery and struggle of "trying" to motivate yourself, and being at a place where you are "hoping" to play well. To alter your way of thinking, and how you are perceived by your teammates and coach, so you are never perceived as just "another volleyball head case". Just another person who chokes when the score is 13-13 or 24-23.

Is this possible?
You bet!

Listen here, because I am going to do something that most consultants will never do. Because I am so certain you will love every bit of this Volleyball Mental Toughness Manual!

The thing that is so great about this course, besides it can solve almost any mental block that exists in sports and take a person to a level they haven’t been at before. Is that, if you want to order, I insist that you do so entirely at my risk. That is why this manual comes with a… No Risk, 100% Unconditional Double Your Money-Back Guarantee. There is absolutely NO RISK on your part with this Lifetime 100% Double Money-Back Guarantee.

I figure I have at least a $5,000 of my time in this (I'm a fast writer). My price isn't cheap but it's extremely fair. It's $69.00. Just one or two extra wins a year and you pay for it. If that isn't fair, I don't know what is.

OK. Pay attention to this part: Get my product. Read it and TRY IT OUT. If you aren't thrilled with the results anytime in your WHOLE LIFE, I'm going to give you DOUBLE your money back.

All I ask is that you try out my simple, easy strategies and give it a shot. Just give it a fair effort. If you aren't very satisfied with your results, I don't want your money.

Furthermore, I'm going to give you double your money back, which is $97 for the manual and $196 for the Big System. Just show me you tried my formula as presented, and I'll give you double-your-money back.

I'm the first person I know to dare to do this with a volleyball product.
The only reason I can do it is because I'm supremely confident you're going to fall in love with my down-to-earth, real life, no b.s., practical "how to.." information.

If you don't like this program, you don't even have to send it back. Just call me up, answer a few questions about the product, and you can Keep The Program, AND GET...

DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK!

Do you see why some people are going to
be jealous of you, when you learn how to kick
their butt, and be the top dog in every gym you walk
into?


I would've too when I was younger, but lets face it, when you are confident, you stop caring what the others think about you and you just get the job done and take in all the rewards.

By now you may be thinking, Ed, how do I know this stuff works? First, check out what people are saying about me!

Because I played in the pro’s, I was always for ways to get the slight advantage over my competition, so I’ve read and listened to a ton of Mental Training Coaches. I have to say that Ed is going to be one of the best ever!"
Erik Pappas, Former St. Louis Cardinal, and Chicago Cub Professional Baseball Player

"Well done and easy to understand! Ed's program is a powerful vehicle for athletes of all ages to maximize their athletic performance!"
Dave Cross, Co-Author of Nationally Acclaimed Book, "Volleyball Cybernetics"

"I thought that both the book and the tape were great! We all listened to the tape to try and inspire us before going on to sectionals. It helped. Our coach also enjoyed the tape and reading some of the book. I think that every team or player should have the chance to hear your tape and read the book. Thanks Ed!"
Caitlin Ward, Roncalli High School

"Coaches spend so much time teaching the technical aspects of the game and are missing the key ingredient in success. Mental focus is the key and Ed O'Keefe's methods of teaching mental focus are the most organized, and effective I have ever heard of."
Coach Charlie Sullivan, Springfield College

"Ed O'Keefe is the best kept secret in the sport of volleyball. If you want the mental advantage, at any level, Ed’s program is a must have!"
Jenna Wrobel U.S. National Team 1999-2000, United States Professional Volleyball Player, Former Player at Michigan State University

 

One of my current clients told me before he got this program, "Ed, You are sure promising a lot." That's right, and I want you to be totally comfortable with your choice to buy today. Something I want you to understand is that I am just like you in so many ways. What I mean is that over 3 years ago, I was finishing up playing in college, had already started up my own volleyball club which had 5 teams, 7 coaches, and over 60 kids which were under my lead. All this while going to School, playing sports, and trying to have a social life all at the same time.

The reason I tell you this is that I got addicted to the idea of gaining Self Mastery over my mind and body. I would literally go to the library every Monday, and get 7 audiotape programs, video tapes, and any books that looked good on Self Help, Motivation, and Peak Performance. My grades dropped because I became so enthralled with what I was learning that I didn't feel like studying at all, I just wanted to find more ways to make myself and my athletes better!

NO FLUFF, B.S., CRAPPY STORIES OR WASTING YOUR TIME....
I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY

GUARANTEE THAT YOU GET THE MENTAL
EDGE OVER YOUR COMPETITION WITH THESE INSIGHTS!

I share this with you, because I understand what it is like to be thinking about whether a program is worth getting or not. I couldn't tell you how many times I picked up a book or audio-tape program, read the first chapter or listened to the first tape and found just too much fluff and not enough practical information. I wanted something more, and I found more than I could've expected.

I then became insanely passionate about the idea of creating something new, ground breaking, and different than what others were saying out there, and I've done it in this program. And I don't expect you to just trust me about this!

Like I said before...
Guarantee #1: Double Your Money Back Life-time Guarantee!

Guarantee #2: You will win 5 matches this year that you would not have without this system!

Guarantee #3: If you use just 1 idea from this Manual you will see your confidence or your teams, start shooting through the ceiling!


AND I WOULD BET NOONE ELSE CAN PROMISE THIS!



OK. Pay attention to this part: Because I'm going to tell you again:

All you have to do is, get my product. Read it and DO something with it. If you aren't excited about the results anytime in your WHOLE LIFE, that means years from now. If you woke one day and finally realized that none of this stuff didn't work, which would never happen, you could send it back and I'll write you a personal check for 2 x's the amount of the manual!!!

All I ask is that you try out my simple, easy strategies and give it a shot. Just give it a fair effort. If you aren't very satisfied with your results, I don't want your money.

Furthermore, I'm going to give you double your money back, which is $97 for the manual and $196 for the Big System. Just show me you tried my formula as presented, and I'll give you double-your-money back.

I'm the first person I know to dare to do this with a volleyball product.
The only reason I can do it is because I'm supremely confident you're going to fall in love with my down-to-earth, real life, no b.s., practical "how to.." information.

What I mean is, I want you to order without feeling you might "get taken." After all, I am a very respected consultant, coach, and speaker, and my reputation is on the line. Therefore, I want you to order the manual and tapes today… listen to them, use the ideas, get OUTSTANDING RESULTS… and if for any reason you aren’t completely satisfied, simply call for an immediate refund of your double purchase price, and you can keep all the Bonuses! You simply can’t lose!

"Ed, you are crazy!" you may be thinking for offering such a great deal. Because someone can totally rip me off here. However, I trust people more than they trust themselves, and I know some people will try and take advantage of this, but those aren't the people I'm worried about. I'm worried about the people who won't give themselves the chance to be greater than they thought they could be. Because I know "The Ultimate Volleyball Mental Toughness Training Program" will help them!

This is a total "win-win" situation, and the reason is obvious. After you go through my program, I want you to have so much success, that you start telling everyone around you about. Just think about what it would be like that within the next few weeks you started taking your game to the next level. Radiating with Self-Confidence, Courage, Persistence, and a Tenacious attitude that does scare the hell out of your opponents, whether that is your intention or not!

Order now!

 

Let me remind you, if you do not order this program today. The minor frustrations, mental, and emotional blocks are simply going to snowball and diminish you as a player or coach. Listen to this story. I had a professional baseball player come to me a year after he retired (in other words, he couldn't stay in the pro's and he was getting too old!). Anyhow, he told me how he would have made it, but since he had a "throwing phobia", which prevented him to make a good throw with baserunners on base, he was benched and dropped back down to the minors.

It took me less than 15 minutes to solve his problem, but it was too late!

That's right. After I helped him out, it didn't matter. He had been out of the pro's for over a year now, and it was too late for him to go back. It wasn't due to lack of effort though. He tried to go around and find a Peak Performance coach or a psychologist that could help him, but noone could help him. They wanted to talk about "why" he was struggling, and how they thought it had deeper issues behind it. Nothing worked until he saw me.

I wonder sometimes if he would have just came to a year earlier, what would have happened. My speculation is that he would have gotten a bigger contract, and possibly be earning millions of dollars a year right now. Whether you are looking to play professional sports, youth volleyball, or simply improve your game, here is the deal!
