Increasing energy, focus, and resilience to stress through Transcendental Meditation for amateur and professional athletes, coaches, and referees

The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique helps athletes, coaches and referees to achieve and sustain peak performance through clearing the mind, energizing the body, and increasing emotional resilience – as shown by an extensive body of peer-reviewed research performed over the past 60 years. Easy to learn and enjoyable to practice, the TM technique will allow you to:

Gain deep rest, increase energy, and release stress
Focus sharply and perceive the game more clearly, without distortions
Stay calm and centered under intense pressure
Develop your full potential for consistent top performance

When I’m pitching and I’m at my best, it’s like I’m all alone out there on the mound. All around me is craziness—even 60-feet away there’s something I could be fearful about—but I’m staying in that bubble of solitude and calm, which comes from my practice of Transcendental Meditation.
