MEET THE FOUNDER

Mental Coach Alex

Meet Alex Bolowich. He is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). Alex is the owner of Elite Mental Performance and holds a Master of Science in Sport and Performance Psychology. He is a former NCAA Division 1 soccer goalkeeper, and captain at Creighton University. Through his firsthand experiences and education, Alex understands the significance of an athlete’s ability to maximize their physical abilities by having a clear and focused mind. He has put his experience and education to use in real time with athletes around the country and internationally. While he currently resides in Charlotte, NC, Alex works with athletes virtually, so location is never a barrier.

In today’s world of elite performance, athletes may struggle with confidence, focus, composure, and mental toughness. Alex has the knowledge and skills to tailor any mental game plan to an individual athlete. His core focus as a consultant is person-centered, knowing that everyone is unique in their own cognitive and behavioral processes as they apply to athletic performance. Let Alex get you started on your journey of elite mental performance. Contact him to schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation. He can tailor a mental skills training plan directly for you.

WHERE WE'RE DIFFERENT:

  • Therapy vs. Training- We advocate everyone to take care of their mental health, but this is not mental health therapy. We train the competitive mind.

  • Challenge vs. Support - We will always support you and what you need, but we will challenge you to level up in the process.

  • More than "talking" - We don't just talk about your mental game. We do hands on practices like visualization, brainspotting, breathwork, mindfulness, etc.

  • Programs + Mentorship - We offer two options for athletes: Structured mental performance programs and side-by-side mentorship packages.

Testimonials

"Getting me in the zone"


I had lots of success using Alex's methods, most notably at big-world shows. I'd never competed at such high levels. Finding a pre-performance routine really helped with this stress, getting me in the zone and helping get my mindset in the right place to go out into the ring and give it everything I had. I learned that it really didn't take as much effort as I thought to rebuild my motivation, I just had to change my way of thinking.

"One of the best!!"


I play for one of the top softball travel ball organizations in the country and Alex has helped me a lot with keeping my confidence ... he’s taught me ways to stay more consistent, he’s helped me decrease my overthinking, handle pressure situations, deal with high expectations, and he’s taught me many methods to stay calm. I’ve been using him for six months and it never gets old. Ever week we have a new topic to discuss. I would recommend him to anybody. Softball is a game of failure and he’s really helped me sustain my focus.

"100% Recommend"


Alex has helped me with not only my mental performance in volleyball, but in all aspects of my life. He is constantly helping me and even sends me outside sources/videos that he finds. My play on the court and my mental toughness has gradually increased. 100 percent recommend!

"Highly Recommend"

My husband and I highly recommend Alex. Our son, Landon has been working with Alex for almost 6 months and his growth during this period has been huge. Landon is a competitive basketball player and was having trouble with his confidence shooting and taking chances ... We started working with Alex and he is now taking shots without hesitation, his confidence on court is obvious and he no longer passes off good shots. He is taking more chances and believes in himself.

"You're the Real MVP"

[Athlete] has, (what I’m told might be) the best 4 games of his life ... Apparently, he played stellar defense the entire tournament and had 6 blocks in one of the games ... I was hyped, so I gave the kid a call and asked where all this energy and amazing play suddenly came from. His response was something like “well, in my last talk with my coach (yea, that’s you) he told me some stuff, so I was thinking about that the whole time” ... I have no idea what you talked to him about or what kind of magic you’re cooking up, but wanted to let you know he recognizes that you are playing a big role in his growth and development!

"completely dialed in"

In gymnastics I needed that psychological edge to take my game from good to great. Alex helped me realize I just wanted dialed in or focusing on the appropriate cues, feelings, and techniques. Now I'm able to put that piece together!

"Transformed"

Coach Alex has transformed my sport’s performance! I am a lot tougher in sports, and in life thanks to Alex. His tools, training and mental visualization skills are modern and on point. Alex has made me a believer that mental training is a valuable tool/skill to have - I have seen my performance increase, and I have reached my performance goals. Sign up for sessions ASAP and watch your life change!

"Mental Toughness"

You (Alex) have a great ability to articulate these difficult concepts. much of what you are talking about, I had thought about for many years, but only on a surface level and could never really get deep down into the substance of the matter. our convos + these resources etc. are definitely helping me to bring some clarity into my thinking about performance, mindset, etc.

IS ELITE MENTAL PERFORMANCE RIGHT FOR YOU:

At EMP we know we are not a good fit for everyone. The athletes that benefit our work the most are those who:

  • Want To Be Challenged - We don't believe telling you what you want to hear will help you. We believe telling you what you need to hear, may be uncomfortable, but it's what's best for you.

  • Are Highly Committed - This work is only as impactful as your commitment level. The athletes that find our work revolutionary are those that aren't just hard workers, they're all-in.

  • Have High Accountability - This is the core value of mental strength within EMP. We work best with those who hold themselves to a high standard and look to themselves as the one's responsible for their game.
