“Dear Linda,

Your powerful, positive energy has made a marvelous change in my life. Being relieved of my miserable habit is having a “ripple effect” on my general feeling of well-being. I am elated! I thank you and send you loving gratitude.”  ~LM

March Madness!

Basketball Heaven! 
Dustin Scott of The College of Charleston has career high 16 rebounds!
Dustin Scott of The College of Charleston has career high 16 rebounds!

Basketball fans around the country are following their favorite teams and even some not so favorite. Who will rise to the top? Which teams will make it to the Big Dance? Even if you aren’t an ardent fan during the regular season it is hard to resist the lure of March Madness.

The College of Charleston advanced to the quarterfinals last night with a win over UNC Greensboro. Dustin Scott is a senior on the team and a fine young man. He has a heart of gold. I still remember how he made a last second basket to win against Temple in one of his first games playing for The College of Charleston. He was quoted after the game, “Seeing that smile on Coach Cremin’s face made me so happy!”

It isn’t unusual for Dustin to think outside of himself. He cares about his teammates and his family, and it shows.  Dustin is just one of many players you will be seeing play this month who is so much more than the game he loves to play! So enjoy the madness! Embrace it! It is a game and it is fun!
Who are you cheering for?

I have only several pages to go and am loving every aspect of this brilliant piece of work!
Congrats on such a great contribution to life and sports.”

Use Your Eyes to Raise Your Performance!

Posted by Linda LeClaire | Posted in Tips for Peak Performance | Posted on 05-03-2009

Your eyes do make a difference!
"I'm ready! Give me your best pitch!"
“I’m ready! Give me your best pitch!”
 
Let me tell you the story of this young hitter. His name is Jacob. He is two years old. His dad and his grandfather are baseball coaches. In fact, his grandfather is a Hall of Fame Baseball Coach. You could say little Jacob is around baseball players more than the average two year old. He loves baseball. After games, he is the first one out on the field to run the  bases. If there is a bat any where near him, he will pick it up and start swinging. He has probably broken more lamps and knick knacks at two years than most people do in a life time! He just can’t help himself. He loves to swing that bat. Notice his stance. Pretty good, wouldn’t you say!
 
Now, notice his eyes. He has already learned that his eyes are an important part  of hitting a baseball. How has he learned this at such a young age? Observation. Yes, he observes the athletes around him as he follows his dad and grandfather around on the field. He has picked up naturally the most important key to high level performance.
 
You can too! Observe great athletes in action. Their eyes exude confidence. They are totally focused in on the action they are performing. Your eyes do make a difference. You easily know when an athlete is tuned in or out by how he or she is using her eyes. Is he rolling his eyes? Are his eyes darting back and forth? Are his eyes focused and strong? Your eyes can change your energy from scattered or stuck energy to energy that is flowing freely and in balance.
 
Do it yourself. Experiment with using your eyes in different ways. Notice how your energy shifts with the focus coming from your eyes. You have complete control over your eyes. So take advantage of this powerful tool and use your eyes in competition to raise your performance!
 
For more information on how your eyes help you to raise your performance in any area of life, go to our Products page to get your copy of our newest book, The Confidence Factor. I have a feeling we are going to see much more of little Jacob on the baseball field!

The Clock is winding down. "Can this really be my last home game?"

The Clock is winding down. "Can this really be my last home game?"

We had an awesome weekend with the College of Charleston Men’s Basketball Team. It was Senior night at the game on Saturday. Jermaine Johnson, Marcus Hammond and Dustin Scott gave inspiring performances in their last game at Carolina Arena in Charleston, SC. Tears were shed in abundance as the clock ran down on a victory for the graduating seniors. The team with Head Coach Bobby Cremins finished the regular season with a 23-7 record.

Here are some photos from the night! Can you see the joy in their eyes?
And maybe some sadness, too? We’ll miss you guys!

“I recently read, “Yes, God speaks to women too!” and was greatly inspired by the book! Linda LeClaire does such a wonderful job of clearly depicting our bodies as energy systems with important needs that are up to us to fulfill. Since reading this book I have achieved a greater understanding of how deeply connected our thoughts and minds are to our physical bodies and how powerful this connection is in fulfilling purpose and potential in our lives.  The new awareness I have gained has greatly increased my ability to realize my goals.  I thoroughly look forward to reading “The Confidence Factor.”

Andy writes:

“From ‘The Courtside Coach’, I regularly use Dr. Young’s tips: “Replace the Bad – Replay the Good,” “What You Visualize, You CAN Realize,” “Down the Middle Solves the Riddle,” are three examples.  Challenge yourself to tune in to the work of Dr. Young and Linda LeClaire.  Contact them and get on their schedule.  You’ll thank yourself forever!”

“Linda has been an inspiration! I read her book and reread a chapter each time before I play a tennis match. The end result is I’m playing my best tennis YET, but more importantly, I’m enjoying competition for the first time,,,,,,I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!!”

Thank you Jessa, Andy and April for your kind and generous words!
