What They’re Saying

See what groups have to say about presentations by Dr. Eddie:

The counsel of realizing that we can experience competing emotions or several different emotions that may not mesh well together was a real breakthrough for me. Sometimes it feels like there is one challenge after another to reach our goals but I have always recognized the kindness and compassion that was shown along the way.

Wow, you really put a lot of honesty, courage, and time into the Success Stories Community. This included you being totally up-front when behind on your tracking and the learnings from it. It’s just brilliant how you bring your own personal experience to us members.

Dave Grice - United States

I really appreciate your Membership Modules. The lessons from listening to the Team Meetings are really helpful because all everyone is there to build something special. I really enjoy it!

I work with the finest professors and experts over a wide range of academic and professional disciplines. Dr. Eddie is one of the very best. He’s a hard-working and accomplished professional, a caring and supportive coach, and a charming, upbeat, and enthusiastic presenter.

The swimmers appreciated your point of view on how everyone has feelings of doubt, fear, and uncertainty, and how they can productively deal with them. Our coaching staff noticed a change in their attitude and perspective from the very next practice.

I highly recommend Dr. Eddie! His presentation was so valuable to our sales team. He is humorous and very engaging! Dr. Eddie teaches easy real-life examples of things you can do to increase your performance in your personal and professional life.

I wish I had this course 50 years ago!!

Excellent! I have purchased over 200 lecture sets and this course is one of the BEST!! It considers every aspect of life goals, sports performance, being a parent coach, the team, sports goal accomplishment as we age, etc.. I am not going to recap each lecture as some do; and I do appreciate their detail. The Professor is excellent and obviously an expert in the field, in addition to being a parent coach and sharing his personal errors as such. The course covers the mental and physical sides of performance from all ages, and I greatly enjoyed the final lecture on the aging athlete (I just turned 70!) and it helped me put my health and performance goals into perspective. This course can be enjoyed from either audio, or video (I did video). Again, OUTSTANDING course and Professor!! I look forward to future courses by Dr. O’Connor!!

The swimmers appreciated your point of view on how everyone has feelings of doubt, fear, and uncertainty. While most other sports psychologists focus on trying to silence those with positive thinking, you made it clear to our athletes that everyone has those feelings. Our coaching staff noticed a change in their attitude and perspective the following practice.
