meditation + visualization for performance

We’ve all felt it. In the midst of the action, the mind clings to thoughts, emotions, and stress. Maybe the ref missed a call, you missed an open shot, or your opponent took the lead in crunch time. Negativity bubbles up, confidence drops, and white-hot frustration reaches a boiling point, affecting your focus and taking you out of the game. Maybe it’s performance anxiety ahead of the big game or a lack of confidence coming back from injury.

Regardless, it’s understood that such mental activity is the kryptonite of high-level performance. But what is there to do? You’ve prepared with drills, exercises, and pre-game routines, yet the mental-emotional storm continues to overwhelm.

Breathe in, breathe out. Experience excellence. Access flow.

By connecting body and mind through guided meditation and visualization, you’ll access your inner calm, improve confidence, decision making, and muscle memory. In doing so, you’ll develop the mental-emotional skills required to enter flow and perform your best under pressure. Be that calm center in the eye of the competitive storm.

“No matter how strong or skillful you might be, your mind can impede that talent from being expressed" - George Mumford, “The Mindful Athlete”

Cody Quattrocci

Cody first found flow, yoga, and holistic health through basketball and personal intrigue. Such interest bloomed when stumbling upon Phil Jackson’s “Sacred Hoops”, and George Mumford’s “The Mindful Athlete”. In turn, Cody completed a 200 Yoga Teacher Training at Evolution PT & Yoga in 2020, giving him the training, insights, and tools to develop his meditation and visualization program.

Cody will most definitely be an incredible asset to any sports community!"

    Christine Everitt - Parent of MVP Participant

    Tyler Bergmans - Berea College 2028

  • "Cody’s Meditation and Visualization Program brings attention to the fact that the mental component of sports needs to be nurtured, and such skills practiced in order to obtain maximum success."

    Cara Caswell - Parent of MVP Participants + Active Member of Burlington Basketball Community

  • "What Cody provides is a structured program that is scheduled, taught by a professional and tailored to our team. We focus at times on specific challenges that we are aware of and that we ask Cody to incorporate, be those upcoming opponents and players, or internal team dynamics. Our time with him is scheduled, planned out, and is in addition to practice, not instead of practice. Our team looks forward to the sessions."

    Mark Pfaff - Varsity Girls Basketball Coach

  • "Wow - Cody is amazing! I can't think of anyone else who can so adeptly combine meditation along with realistic, custom-tailored sports scenarios to fit an athlete - he's been there and done that but is very humble and peaceful. Highly recommend with no reservations. Great preparation and execution.
