“Dr. Chavez is a highly intuitive and extremely knowledgeable sport psychology consultant. I have had the opportunity to work with many other sports psychologists, and what sets Ed apart is his ability to genuinely connect on a personal level right away. Trust is key in performance therapy just as it is in any coaching relationship, and you can tell, even after brief interaction, that Dr. Chavez loves helping people and truly cares. I have worked with him multiple times before heading into our US National Team and Olympic trials. The barriers we broke through sent me off feeling so strong mentally that it allowed my physical skill and strength to shine through.”

“I gained so much from Dr. Chavez’s team session! He gave me a new outlook on the mental side of football. Before his talk I was unfamiliar with sport psychology, but came out of the team session strongly motivated to commit to working on my mental side. Not only did I learn how the the brain affects the body but I learned mental skills on how to better mange my emotions during high pressure situations. This will benefit me during the upcoming NFL season. I’ve already noticed a positive difference in my performance with the mental techniques he taught us. After my NFL career I am seriously considering pursuing a degree in Sport Psychology.”

“Dr. Ed Chavez worked with my football team on building confidence and resiliency. The mental side is often over looked in sports and I am appreciative to him for strengthening the mental toughness of my team. The team has responded positively to the mental skills and techniques he implemented during the team sessions. Both the team and the coaching staff really appreciated how Ed connected with us and how he made the information specific and relevant to the needs of the team. He is an expert in the field and I would recommend his mental training program to any college football program who wants to take their team to the next level.”

“Before I started working with Dr. Chavez I felt like two different people. I was one person in practice and someone entirely different at tournaments. My anxiety was through the roof and I was unable to perform to my fullest. I wasn’t competing like I trained. After just a few sessions I found that gap closing…suddenly I wasn’t getting in my own way. I am now able to compete in that “zone” that all athletes search for more readily. Before I started my work with Dr. Chavez I was struggling at competitions Nationally…now I’m back on top and turning out my best results at World Cups and Grand Prixs!! I feel like sports psychology is greatly underused and misunderstood by athletes. I came in not knowing fully what to expect. But after working with Dr. Chavez I confidently recommend him to all my friends and fellow athletes at the Olympic Training Center. The skills I’ve learned from Dr. Chavez have become an important part of my training regiment. I’ve always trained myself physically and technically as hard as I can, now I am training myself mentally to be the best. Confidence and focus, like any other muscle or skill, can be trained, focused, and perfected! Thank you for all your help Dr. Chavez!”

“Through extensive evaluation of my mental game, Dr. Chavez provided me with exercises and techniques that helped me achieve my goal, and become a great skier of international caliber. Thank you so much Ed, for making my dreams possible!”  Two Silver medals in the Norwegian Championship
