2008-07-29T12:22:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun at Mental Toughness! This course was for athletes and performers ages 14-25 and took place during Eagle U. If you have not had the pleasure of attending, please contact Richelle at Eagle U for more details. http://www.eagleu.com/ or success@eagleu.com - you can also email Heather Sumlin at heather@mentalmanagement.com.

The first thing we did was identify what the students wanted to learn. We had 16 students in the class competing in a variety of activities: Soccer, Track, Boxing, Tennis, Football, Basketball, Dance, Pageantry, Volleyball, Softball and music. Here is a list of what they wanted to learn during their 3 days with Mental Management instructors Lanny Bassham, Troy Bassham & Heather Sumlin:

How to obtain a Mental Advantage over Competition

Controlling Nerves & Pressure

How to enter performance with confidence

Controlling the negative

Staying positive

Gamesmanship – how to handle

Mental System (focus)

Second Guessing – Comparing Self to Others

Blocking Physical Pain

Dealing with Discouragement

Staying Consistent

Fear Control

Distraction Control

How to deal with Negative People

Transferring Practice to Competition

Learning from Mistakes

Who to listen to and who to shut out

Over-trying

Mental Energy

We spent our time going over the answers to these questions, we also had the students apply what they learned in a competition - BagGo competition. We split the class into groups to help with the application portion of the session and were able to give the pageant competitors different advice than the sport competitors to keep the students engaged and able to learn what they needed to know for their particular activity.

Testimonials from Mental Toughness:

“The point of focus part of the mental program worked amazingly the first time I used it. Blocking out my competitors and focusing me on not only the moment but also on the process where everything fell together. One good shot just led to the next.” - Justin from Arlington, VA (Boxing)

“Mental Toughness has changed my life. I did not expect to walk away with this much useful information that I will incorporate into my life. Lanny Bassham is an inspiration to anyone competing. He truly cares about helping young individuals achieve their goals no matter what the sport is. Thank you very much for this eye opening experience.” - Ashleigh from Rockville, MD (Pageantry)

“This course will help anyone and everyone. To be honest, I think this was more helpful than the hundreds of hours I have invested in physical training.” - Jackson (Track, Long Distance Running)

“It was amazing and it completely changed the way I mentally approach challenges.” - Bailey from Norman, OK (Pageantry and Dance)

“I thought I had a pretty good idea of how to be mentally tough, but there were so many aspects that I didn’t know or didn’t think would work that actually affected me for the better.” - Brandon from Plano, TX (Tennis)

“Mental Toughness is amazing! In a few days I got the opportunity to be in the presence of Lanny and learn his approach on mentally preparing yourself for anything in life. I learned so much more in that short amount of time than in the 3 years I went to college. If you have not been to Mental Toughness, I highly recommend you go. It will help you and it give you an edge over everyone else. I loved it!!” - Christina from Cransten, RI (Pageantry)

“I never thought there was a way to control your performance, practice and mind mentally. After the Mental Management program I now know what it takes to be a successful positive and tenacious performer and competitor. Not only can Mental Toughness (Management) be used in competitions but also in everyday life to make you the best person you can possibly be.” - Faran from Oak Brook, IL (Dance)

"Before Mental Toughness I has wishes. After this training I learned how to develop a six-year plan of success for my life. I am ready to live a complete life by getting what I want.” - Becca from Midland, TX (Pageantry)

“People often make goals for themselves, but only truly passionate people know how to accomplish them. Mr. Bassham’s program uses his expertise and highly understandable methods to make even the most disheartened player learn how to achieve his or her own dreams. Thank you for a great and life-changing program!” - Hannah from Oak Brook, IL (Sports)

“Mental Toughness has prepared me for my competition and every aspect of my life. These tools will stick with me throughout the rest of my life and I know whatever I am competing in, I will perform like a winner.” - Sydney from Middlesex, VT (Pageantry

“This course will help every sports player get to the next level.” - Stan from Oak Brook, IL (Football and Track)

Eagle U Mental Toughness

2008-06-13T07:30:00.000-07:00

We are constantly competing in life for grades, a better job, a spot on the team, a scholarship for college. Like it or not we are competing while we are on this earth. We’d better know a thing or two about pressure and mental control if we are going to be successful in those competitions life throws us.

Eagle U has a program for all of the competitors out there who need the mental edge. It’s called Mental Toughness. Do you have to compete in sports to get something out of this Mental Toughness program – No! Many of you may compete in pageants, stage performance, music, drama, scholastic achievement, debate, etc. Everything you will learn will apply to these forms of competition as well as athletic competition.

Lanny Bassham was the best loser in the world. He was a silver medalist in the Olympic Games. That is the best you can do and still lose! Who gets all the credit and all the glory – the winner does! Just ask the First Runner Up to Miss USA or Miss America if it matters who wins. Lanny was frustrated because his goal was to win the gold medal but in competition at the Olympic Games he choked. He didn’t choke because of bad equipment or poor training. He choked because the Olympic Games brings a great deal of pressure to the competitors and he didn’t know how to handle it. He lost due to a mental failure which could have been prevented.

After researching winners for the next couple of years he compiled his information in to a system he calls Mental Management. Mental Management is the process of improving the probability of having a consistent mental performance under pressure, on demand. He used that system to dominate his sport of Olympic Rifle bringing home 15 medals at the World Championships his next time out. 2 years later he brought home the gold medal he had dreamed about since childhood. Today Lanny Bassham is teaching that system to people like you, dreamers, achievers and competitors in sport, business, stage performance and life goals.

Eagle U offers a chance for you to spend hours learning this system with Lanny Bassham himself through their Mental Toughness Program. What an amazing opportunity! Call today for more information 1-888-7-EAGLE-U.

For more information on Lanny Bassham and his company Mental Management Systems please go to www.mentalmanagement.com. On his website he has a free monthly email newsletter which includes articles on mental control.

Eagle U Team Leader's Company Launches "Play the News"

2008-06-05T06:31:00.001-07:00

Eagle U Team Leader Patrick Bannan is the designer and artist for Impact Games, a world renowned pioneer in creating compelling interactive experiences around current events. His company recently launched Play the News, an engaging, community-driven experience - imagine fantasy sports meets the evening news. Play the News is a web-based platform that brings interactive gaming elements to the online news-media industry changing the paradigm of news consumption from passive reading to active engagement.

What that means is this:
Every day the talented team at Impact Games combs the headlines looking for the very best 'current events' to turn into short games that anyone can play, from anywhere, for fun or information, and it's all completely free.

The cool thing about these news games is that they actually put you in the shoes of the people making the decisions, allowing you to both “voice your opinion” (what SHOULD happen) and “predict the future” (what WILL happen), creating an experience totally unique to any newspaper you've read, or broadcast you've watched. All of that gets wrapped into your own socio-political profile where you can track your rank and score, and debate with the community about the whys and the hows of major world issues.

This is very much ‘the beginning’ in the grander scheme of things, and they have already received a very strong response from their community and major media companies alike who see the potential in this type of engagement. Make sure to check it out NOW at http://PlayTheNewsGame.com

Jeffrey Probst, the host of Survivor commented that, "Amanda knows how to play Survivor. She knows how to build an alliance, how long to keep it, when to get rid of it. She's very good at looking at odds, she's very good at assessing if [she's] better of against this person or with this person."

Amanda currently has the distinction of participating the most days of any castaway with 78 days known to date. She is the first person since Jenna Morasca to play the game twice and never be voted out, the first to do so without quitting the game, as well as the first player to win two Final Immunity challenges and the first player to ever face the jury twice. Way to go Amanda!

Eagle U Grad Proves to be Quite a Survivor!

2008-05-02T14:33:00.000-07:00

Eagle U grad Amanda Kimmel is proving to be quite a Survivor! On last night's episode, she was targeted as the biggest threat in the final Tribal Council. When it came time to vote, all eyes were on Amanda. Before the votes were read, and to everyone's surprise, Amanda pulled out the Hidden Immunity Idol she had uncovered earlier. In doing so, she cancelled all four votes against her and sent Alexis home with only two votes. Now it's down to 4 girls and 1 guy...who will earn the right to be called Sole Survivor? Our vote's on Amanda- good luck!

Watch Amanda on Thursday nights, 8 pm ET/PT.

Teen Athletes Gain an Edge Over the Competition

2008-03-21T12:01:00.000-07:00

Eagle U Partners with Olympic Gold Medalist to Offer a Unique Program

“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose . . . until you lose.” This is the philosophy of Olympic gold medalist, Lanny Bassham, founder of Mental Management® Systems. After winning the silver medal at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, Lanny went on a pursuit to find out what it would take to win the gold. What he learned was that most competitors don’t train for their mental game. Bassham developed a system of mental training called Mental Management®. Using this system, he dominated his sport of rifle shooting over the next six years, winning 22 world individual and team titles, setting four world records and winning the Olympic gold medal in Montreal in 1976. Lanny Bassham ranks third among all shooting athletes and is a member of the Olympic Hall of Fame.

In every sport, whether team or individual, there is a mental game. One’s success and ability to perform under pressure is exponentially improved by mental performance training. Strength, talent, and innate ability are only one part of the equation for peak performance. To be a champion, you must train like a champion. If you’re not working on your mental game, you’re training for 2nd place.

Lanny Bassham shares his secrets to success and how to have peak performance under pressure with high school and college students at the Eagle U Mental Toughness program in Denton, TX July 21-26, 2008. This is an incredible opportunity for young competitors to learn the Mental Management® System that Lanny Bassham has used to train thousands of professional and Olympic athletes. For more information about this or other Eagle U programs, please call 1-888-732-4538 or visit our website at http://www.eagleu.com.

For over 15 years, Eagle U has helped teens discover themselves and their true potential. From hands-on team exercises to interviewing influential people in the community, students are challenged to rise above mediocrity and discover their unique talents, abilities, passions, and their own initiative. Students leave Eagle U motivated to achieve their highest aspirations and with the self-confidence to open the doors of opportunity.

Eagle U Grad Seeks Support

Hello Fellow Eagles!!!

I am currently helping to organize the Fourth Annual Howard Public Interest Law Society (HPILS) Auction. The auction, which will take place on March 27, 2008, raises money for the HPILS Fellowship Program, which provides summer stipends to Howard Law students who take unpaid summer public interest legal internships. HPILS Auction organizers like myself are still seeking donations of auction items from supporters like you!!! While I realize that some of you are remote, the other auction organizers and I would appreciate any donations you might be able to offer, no matter how big or small. You can even donate money to the auction, which will also go towards the overall auction proceeds. If you specifically cannot donate to the Auction, you can provide me with the contact names of those who you think can. You can contact me at erutledge@hotmail.com.

I really need your support! Thank you so much for your time in reading this letter, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Journey of a Dream

2008-03-10T09:24:00.000-07:00

Journey Of A Dream

A dream is born in the mind,
A picture of what might be
A vision of a new and better life.
But if it stays in the mind,
It becomes another wish unfulfilled.

It must move on.

The dream moves to the heart,
Feelings surround it, giving it life.
But if it stays in the heart,
It becomes a “could have been,”
Dying in the fire of emotion.

It must move on.

The dream moves to the hands,
There to be put into action
Having been given life in the heart,
It comes to fruition through work.
But if the dream stays in your hands,
It becomes self-serving.

It must move on.

So place your hand in the hand of another,
And the dream moves on…forever.

-Lanny Bassham

I have had the opportunity to take part in two Eagle U experiences, my most recent being the Masters program at Georgetown in 2004. I had just graduated from university, and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. What I took away from those 5 days, has proven to be priceless over the past 4 years. I was able to achieve my goal of backpacking all over China and SE Asia for 4 months, and more recently, I started my own jewellery design business. All of my work is sterling silver and I make each piece by hand.

One particular exercise that has stuck with me was an exercise about the power of asking. I'm very proud of the fact that I've started my own business, and attest that to what I learned at Eagle U. If any of you are store owners or know anyone who owns a store that might be interested in carrying my jewellery, please pass this on. I stand behind my work 100%. I have been very successful here in Vancouver, BC, Canada, but I'm trying to further expand my business, and get my work into stores in the Unites States.

You can view my work at www.tamaraleslie.com. Please feel free to email me with any comments, join my mailing list, or if you want to share your story, I'm always interested in what my fellow Eagles have achieved.

Thank You!
Sincerely,
Tamara Leslie

A Poem from a Fellow Eagle

2008-02-29T08:54:00.000-08:00

So I started off at EagleU,
with thoughts and intentions led askew,
thinking this would be a waste of time,
and never believing I would write this rhyme.
But incidentally it happened this way,
slowly but surely, day by day,
the people around befriended me,
and I came to find a second family.
After my homesickness was expelled,
it felt alright to come out of my shell, I wondered what happened but alas, I had found a new home in Dallas.
As the week went on with my new relatives, I took in all they had to give, their beauty, their passion, their sincerity, hoping any of this would rub off on me.
I learned to always reach for my dreams, which werent as impossible as they seemed, to always ALWAYS go for the glow, and to always let my confidence show.
I've learned tips and lessons so invaluable, that forgetting them is unallowable, but i also met people who inspired me, and who completely changed my personality.
People who reminded m of my passion for music, and led me to see how i could use it, people who taught me to never assume, so many lessons learned in this room.
So now, Ive felt Ive said enough,
for saying what Im feeling is tough,
but in this place, i was truly touched,
and i felt it necessary to say this much.
Let me try and translate my heart,
which i should have done from the start...
I love you all only after a few days,
and i dnt think ive ever felt this way,
for me to share this much emotion,
yesterdays tears could fill an ocean.
I am comfortable to say, going on living, the only turkeys ill see are on Thanksgiving, so finally ill say goodbye, but go on dear eagles, spread your wings and fly....
and if after the show, im nowhere to be seen, im in the hottub on floor fifteen!!

A Note from a Fellow Eagle

2008-02-25T11:10:00.000-08:00

Casey attended our January 2008 program in Dallas and wrote us this note soon after:

Hey guys this is Casey Stewart, I just wanted to say thank you for the experience of Eagle U. The day after I got home i got a call from the hospital asking me to come in for an interview. i wasn't nervous at all because we had just learned everything you need to do in an interview. I went for a second interview today and they offered me the job. They also offered me quite a bit more starting pay simply because they liked how I conducted myself throughout. So i just wanted to thank you guys for Eagle U, it is already paying off.

That's awesome Casey! Way to go!
