I'm a longtime athlete and sports fan. I grew up playing Little League baseball, AYSO soccer, playground basketball and football, skateboarding, skiing, challenge-ladder tennis, raquetball, and cycling. I began subscribing to Sports Illustrated magazine at the age of 13.

I'm married to an equestrian, and have begun taking riding lessons myself. I guess it's never too late!

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Marvin Zauderer


Welcome.

Strong mental skills give many amateur and professional athletes an edge over their competitors. I work with athletes, coaches, and teams from all sports to develop those skills, which include:

• Keeping stress, anxiety, and pressure from affecting your performance
• Entering competition mentally prepared
• Increasing your tolerance for performance-based pain and fatigue
• Regaining and sustaining motivation; averting and recovering from burnout
• Building self-confidence and avoiding being too hard on yourself
• Maintaining and shifting focus and concentration for optimal performance
• Setting the right goals and managing yourself to them effectively
• Recovering mental fitness after injury
• Improving communication and goal alignment with teammates or coaches

Sport psychology is not psychotherapy. It's brief, to-the-point, action-oriented consulting that gives you the tools you need to be successful.
