Athletic Speaking and Coaching Programs



Discover The Secret to Becoming a Champion— Regardless of Ability, Speed, Schedule, Stats, Critical Acclaim or AP Polls



Here’s a hint: True success has little to do with what others say about you and everything to do with what you say to yourself. When you or your team possesses the ability to think about success, competition and winning in ways that are more internal and less external, amazing things begin to take shape. If you’re looking for better performance from your team, look at the internal playbooks of your team members. Dr. Elko has a long history of helping college and professional teams and athletes clear out their mental clutter so they can increase their own level of trust in themselves and their abilities.



Mental clutter can manifest itself in many ways, including:



* Doubts about performance  

* Fear of failure  

* Past disappointments, frustrations and losses  

* Judgments of themselves and others  

* Personal issues that have nothing to do with sports



Any combination of these can clutter up the minds of your players at game time, which almost always results in players who aren’t living up to their athletic potential when you need them the most. When you enlist my help with your team, Dr. Elko will come in for a series of 4-5 visits, because ongoing reinforcement is critical to the success of this particular program.



First he’ll get to work on the 2 key elements of top performance: Self-talk and manifesting the visions inside your mind. With self-talk, he’ll help your team members eliminate unwanted thoughts, the mental clutter that’s weighing them down like an anchor, holding them back from achieving their highest potential. Once the clutter is cleared it paves the way for some amazing things to happen, including:



* Increased self-confidence  

* More focus and clarity on gametime strategies and tactics  

* Dramatically increased performance levels



The second element I’ll drive home is showing your team how to visualize positive outcomes both on and off the field of play, giving you that competitive edge you’ve been looking for. This is a very powerful tool for creating personal and professional victories throughout life. Once they’re able to do this effectively, they’ll have:



* A mastery of every moment, leaving stress and pressure to the competition  

* A huge boost in positive momentum, with a powerful “nothing can stop me” feeling, which can be maintained throughout the season and beyond  

* A marked increase in trust—in both their coaches and teammates



As one of America's most requested Performance Speakers I’ve helped Professional and Major College Athletic Programs reach their top performance levels. Dr. Elko was given National Championship rings from both the Universityof Miami and the Louisiana State University Football teams for his contributions to their outstanding success! In addition, he has consulted with the football programs at University of Alabama, Rutgers University, University of Pittsburgh, University of North Carolina, University of Nebraska, and basketball programs including Louisiana State University's Final Four women's team. On the Professional level, he worked with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Penguins.



Here is what Extremely Successful Coaches, Athletic Directors and Athletes Say About Dr. Elko's Programs!



"There is no doubt in my mind one of the reasons we turned the program around at the University of Miami and now at the University of North Carolina was Kevin Elko. His program taught players valuable lessons about focusing, handling adversity as well as success. Kevin has had a major impact on our success." - Butch Davis, Head Football Coach, University of North Carolina



"Kevin Elko is the real deal. I've been there when he delivers one of his famous talks and he really fires everyone up. I'll never let anyone else speak to my team." -Nick Saban, Head Football Coach, University of Alabama



"Kevin Elko has shown me and my team how to motivate ourselves and achieve emotional balance on and off the field. He especially showed us how to stay focused on the present." - Emmitt Smith, NFL All-Time Leading Rusher



"Kevin Elko taught us that winning comes from within. He is a powerful teacher and motivator who helped us develop and implement our National Championship Process." - Larry Coker, Former Head Football Coach, University of Miami



"Kevin Elko is one of the brightest men I know. He will help you focus your team and your life. " - Steve Pederson, Athletic Director, University of Pittsburgh

The Pep Talk
Book Image
The Pep Talk is a sports story with solid business applications about an underdog football team defeating a powerhouse opponent. Typically, a novelette of this type peaks at the end of the game, but it's in the pep talk where the real story begins. A stranger convinces the coach of a team with a 24-game losing streak to allow him to give a pep talk before they go up against a winning team. The underdog team is victorious because of the influence of this stranger. The talk the stranger gave has a profound affect on the coach and three of his Senior players throughout their lives as each goes on to successful careers outside of football. The pep talk and the actual game are intriguing, but the real story begins 29 years later when the coach, suffering from a brain tumor, discovers the stranger had prophesized specific events that occurred in the ensuing game. Is there a logical explanation? Is there a spiritual explanation? The answers to these questions capture the reader's attention to the very end. Although this story uses a sports related theme, it applies directly to life and the valuable lessons we all can learn. This book will help you think about your approach to life and what's really important. The actual information the stranger uses in his pep talk comes directly from real life speaking engagements Dr. Elko has done for Professional and Major College Football Programs as well as Corporate Clients. Sit back and enjoy the story...and you won't be able to put this book down!

How do you measure greatness? Whereas “excellence” is about becoming the best you can be at one particular thing, greatness moves you past routine success and onto a new plateau where your achievements are more meaningful and satisfying. It is a deliberate act of finding the best in yourself and making choices from a different mindset. It’s a way of seeing a special kind of "more" in your life. And while achieving greatness inevitably leads to profit and phenomenal success in business, it's also—surprise!—a profoundly satisfying way to live.
