How to Prepare Mentally
Like an Olympic Champion:
We Teach YOUNG PEOPLE
how to DISCIPLINE and
MANAGE their minds like an
OLYMPIC CHAMPION!
Presented by Olympic Gold
Medalist Brian Goodell and
The Pacific Institute
WHAT IS PX2®?
Brian Goodell
• Athletes can struggle to overcome barriers in
their own minds because of deep-seated
beliefs which directly impact their
performance.
• They may become frustrated and fearful
about their ability to achieve their goals and
may even sabotage their own performances
when they are in situations outside of their
“Comfort Zones”, especially at higher level
competitions, such as the Olympic Games.
Brian Goodell
• What I do is teach them how their minds work
and how to change their beliefs, habits and
attitudes at the subconscious level, working from
the inside out, so that they can relax and feel
comfortable in new situations they’ve never
been in before but need to go through to be
successful.
Brian Goodell
• What makes me different is that I have actually
used this 12 Step scientifically proven process
myself to win gold medals at the 1976 Olympics
and 1979 Pan American Games. I also used
these techniques to win 10 US National and 9
NCAA championships, as well as break
numerous World and American records in
swimming.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT….
….For Young People
To Learn
How Their Minds Work;
and to Learn the
Discipline of Managing
their Minds?
IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE….
• Their current beliefs and attitudes shape their
expectations for the future.
• Being in control of what they think,
they have the power to change the way
they live their lives.
• Once they understand how their mind
works, they have self-confidence,
self-esteem and a strong ethical center.
• PX2® is a life-changing experience!
Not just for teens but for the entire family:
promotes positive communication among
family members, building stronger relationships.

Facilitated Reflections Even though I think I am listening when
someone is talking, I know I am also
blending what I think they are saying
into their words. What spin do I typically
place on compliments directed at me?
(Do I typically reject of accept
compliments with my self-talk?)
Make a list of ways that people put
themselves down
When I find myself doing something that
seems normal to me, what words do I
use to say “That’s like me”?
When I find myself doing something that
seems not normal for me, what words
do I use to say “That’s not like me”?

“Since our retreat in May I have been
able channel all of my pre race anxiousness and
use it in a way that has lead to a lot of
success. Previously I would think about what I
hoped happened during a race but now I am
able to use stronger visualization techniques
and see the race unfolding the way I want long
before I get in the water.
“I have been swimming at a very high
level since I’ve been 15 years old but since May
I’ve had a new sense of confidence due to my
visualization and PX2®. Thanks!!”
