Canada’s largest golf retailer selects the game’s only interactive mental coaching program
(HOLLYWOOD, FL) – Brain Center International (BCI) announces its Pro Mental Coach – golf’s first and only mental coaching software designed to help players master the game, play smarter and lower scores – is now available at key Golf Town locations throughout Canada and www.golftown.com.
Designed to build the “brain muscle,” Pro Mental Coach ($139.95) helps create an “in the zone” state through improved focus, confidence, motivation, stress management, endurance and recovery from bad shots. It is already in use at the world-renowned PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance, where the interactive software’s assessment test and scientifically-proven exergames form the centerpiece of mental training sessions.
“Pro Mental Coach has received a tremendous reception from golfers looking to elevate their games and PGA Professionals seeking to enhance students’ results,” says Dr. Stephane Bergeron, Founder of BCI. “In response, savvy retailers like Golf Town are embracing opportunities to grow their business by introducing our unique, game-enhancing platform to their customers.”
PC and Mac compatible, Pro Mental Coach is powered by a proprietary Dynamic Intelligence System. This breakthrough neuroscience technology was developed by BCI in collaboration with medical centers. It is used in clinical research funded by National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Dramatically different from books and DVDs, Pro Mental Coach continuously interacts with users and adjusts exergame difficulty levels in real time according to performance. This personalizes each training session, creating a fully customized regimen to deliver maximum benefits in the shortest period of time.
“By using Pro Mental Coach just one hour a week, thousands of golfers are discovering a completely new way to play better and enjoy the game more,” says Joe Hallett, coach of LPGA Tour star Stacy Lewis and a GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher. “What makes this software so unique is its ability to identify what areas of golfer’s mental game are strong and train those that need improvement.”
Unique features of Pro Mental Coach include:
• Assessment and full diagnostic of a user’s mental game strengths and weaknesses
• Customized training program that matches users’ skills
• Tracking and evaluation of performance from each training session
• Ability for PGA Professionals to access a student’s mental game profile
