This pocket guide is designed for real moments — on the sideline, in practice, during competition, or immediately after. It distills the core Mental Performance Support System (MPSS) skills into brief, usable reminders that can be applied under pressure, when time and attention are limited.
The MPSS Pocket Guide is not a standalone curriculum. It is an access point.
The full MPSS system includes expanded manuals for athletes, coaches, and parents, as well as a visual atlas that illustrates how mental performance skills develop, connect, and transfer across situations. Together, these resources provide instruction, practice structure, reflection tools, and seasonal guidance that extend beyond what a pocket format can offer.
Use this guide to cue awareness, reset attention, and support decision-making in the moment.

Real-time tools for performance under pressure.
The MPSS Skills Pocket Guide is a compact, on-the-spot companion to the full Mental Performance Support System (MPSS). It is designed for athletes, coaches, and parents who need clear, usable mental skills in the middle of real situations — not just in meetings or classrooms.
This guide focuses on the five core MPSS performance skills:
STOP (emotional and attentional reset)
Mindfulness Reset
Optimism Reframing
Radical Acceptance
Connection Over Correction
These skills are the front-line tools of the MPSS system — the same skills taught, practiced, and expanded in the full MPSS manuals.
