About
PHILOSOPHY

Gratitude is the ultimate peak performance tool, but gratitude is more than an attitude - it is a state of being.  Through gratitude you will become empowered and overcome your performance anxiety, unlocking the best version of your competitive identity.   

Best of all, this approach does not just apply to athletics.  It will change your outlook on life!

ABOUT

After spending 16 years as a college wrestling coach, including 11 years at the Division I level, Andy Lausier has not only learned what the best athletes do - but more importantly he has identified the patterns that prevent most competitors from achieving their goals and experiencing passion, joy and fulfillment in their athletic pursuit.

ARE YOU SEEKING BETTER RESULTS?

 

The Grateful Athlete is the most enlightening, empowering, and energizing approach to overcome your competitive and/or performance anxiety.  Through the specific practice and experience of gratitude you will discover a new performance state that frees you of your fears, brings out your best in competition, and provides an experience of joy and fulfillment.  ​

  • Are you better in practice than competition? 

  • Are the butterflies in your stomach making you nauseous?

  • Are you afraid of losing, making mistakes, or what people will think about you?

  • Do you feel tired, groggy, or sluggish before and during performance?  

  • Does your mind feel foggy and unclear during competition?

  • Do you feel an exhausting sense of pressure?

  • Have you lost the joy and fulfillment of competition?

  • Do you lack assertiveness and confidence when you compete?

  • Do you feel burned out?

These are symptoms of Performance Based Anxiety (PBA) and they are incredibly common, yet extremely disruptive to high level perfromance   In order to overcome PBA you need a new approach to your athletic pursuit - you need to become The Grateful Athlete.

I find it hard to put into words the impact that Andy had on so many people.  As you can imagine, I have had a lot of guest speakers through the years...he is up there at the top.  Andy's stories are compelling, but beyond that he has a presence and spirit that people find engaging.  Then there his message---so direct, personal, practical....

Andy's deep connection to gratitude provides a unique perspective, which allows him, all of us, to find fortune and positivity in any life situation.  By following his work over the last few years he has truly opened my eyes to the multitudes of blessings we GET to experience each day.

"Gratitude is a choice—an attitude. The Grateful Athlete is born out of Andy Lausier’s personal experience and desire to inspire athletes off the mat, as well as on. My athletic years are decades in the past, but Andy has taught me—and continues to teach me—that my success and happiness in life is as simple as switching my mindset “from have to get”. One does not have to be an athlete to benefit from The Grateful Athlete."
