Happy Holidays - Sports Psychology Newsletter
by MENTAL PERFORMANCE INC
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues & Clients:
I hope the holiday season is treating you well. I've been publishing this newsletter since the early 2000s & love hearing about your greatest challenges in sports, business & performing arts as I seek articles, quotes, videos, and audio clips to meet your needs. As a clinical and sports psychologist in private practice, I endeavor to provide the highest quality and most cutting edge professional services in a warm and confidential manner. I aim to inspire you, whether by phone or in my Palm Beach, Florida office.
As 2017 approaches, I'm more than ever encouraged about my work as I get to train the most advanced computer in the universe - the human mind and human consciousness. Mental training is still widely neglected, but ironically the one simple thing you can do to achieve greater success and fulfillment. Your success and your stories truly inspire me, and I love doing my small part to help.
Thanks for being a part of this newsletter, feel free to comment, and please share this with others if you find the content interesting and helpful! I can be reached for consultation, speeches, or workshops by phone (561-596-9898) or by email at: johnfmurray@mindspring.com.
