Testimonials
Before I started working with Dr. Chavez I felt like two different people. I
was one person in practice and someone entirely different at tournaments. My
anxiety was through the roof and I was unable to perform to my fullest. I
wasn't competing like I trained. After just a few sessions I found that gap
closing...suddenly I wasn't getting in my own way. I am now able to compete in
that "zone" that all athletes search for more readily. Before I
started my work with Dr. Chavez I was struggling at competitions Nationally...now I'm
back on top and turning out my best results at World Cups and Grand Prixs!! I feel like sports hypnosis is greatly underused and misunderstood by
athletes. I came in not knowing fully what to expect. But after working with Dr. Chavez I confidently recommend him to all my friends and fellow athletes at the
Olympic Training Center. The skills I've learned from Dr. Chavez have become an
important part of my training regiment. I've always trained myself physically
and technically as hard as I can, now I am training myself mentally
to be the best. Confidence and focus, like any other muscle or skill, can be
trained, focused, and perfected! Thank you for all your help Dr. Chavez!

Deidre Devault, NCAA Division 1 Women's Soccer, Colorado Rush Hall of Fame
Dr. Chavez did a seminar with a number of my athletes (figure skaters), and they all benefited greatly from the information he presented. He has really inspired my students to dig deep within and find their inner strength. They are all utilizing the techniques he taught them to be more successful on the ice. One of the skaters from the seminar purchased his self-hypnosis CD, and has been using it every day. As a result, she was able to move up into a new level, and then WIN all three of the events she entered into at her next competition...all because she believed she could do it! Thanks so much Ed!
Chea Hutton, Elite Figure Skating Coach, Colorado Springs, CO
Dr. Chavez always believed in me. He motivated me during a time when I lost my confidence and enthusiasm for my sport. He brought back the qualities that made me one of the best in my sport. With his help, skiing became more fun, and I was able to just "go for it" without thinking.
Caroline Schicht, National Ski Team, Norway
My daughter has been seeing Dr. Chavez
for the past six months with excellent results.
Her competitive season as a figure skater
has been very successful! She uses techniques
taught by Dr. Chavez regularly to maintain her
focus and perform at her best. These tools will
serve her well when she attends the
2008 Regional Championship in October!

After being in three Olympic trials, Dr. Chavez has made me understand what I have done unconsciously to help my performance.
Curt Osmand, Colorado Springs, CO
I worked with Dr. Chavez to help me overcome some struggles I was experiencing on the mound. He helped me gain a greater awareness of myself as a baseball pitcher, and he provided me with powerful techniques to increase my confidence and control my mental state. Prior to working with Dr. Chavez, I was inconsistent, and would lose focus at critical times during the game. I often struggled to get myself back into the right frame of mind, and my performance suffered. Through my work with Dr. Chavez, I learned how to instantly go to what I called, my "perfect place". This allowed me to tap into the zone during games, have more control, and maintain my focus. I also learned valuable techniques that helped me sustain mental toughness throughout the game. The mental part of many sports is what can take any athlete a step further. I highly recommend Dr. Chavez to any athlete who wants to elevate their performance to a new level. Applying mental techniques is one way to become a smarter athlete and get an edge on the competition.

She has a whole new respect for her sport, and for herself as an athlete. He is an amazing Sport Psychologist. He knows exactly what to work on, and he believes in having a champion's attitude. Thank you Dr. Chavez!

Thank you Dr. Chavez, your mental program is the best out there! Accomplishing my goal came down to being mentally ready, and mentally stronger than my opponent. Thank you for your support and belief in me.

Dr Chavez's self-hypnosis CD's were a big help in getting me to achieve peak performance. His talks to our team gave us a better understanding of how our state of mind plays a big part in our performances.

Dr. Chavez taught me not to accept any type of limitations. Instead, I was able to see myself winning. He has a gift for understanding the mental athlete, and helping to make the changes in thinking that positively affect performances. His belief in me helped me to believe in myself.

My daughter, Jasmine, was having problems with her performance in track and field. She wanted to be a pole vaulter, but was struggling with her confidence. After a few sessions with Dr. Chavez, her performance was elevated to the highest level, and she placed first in several track meets. The following year, Jasmine, who is also a swimmer, was having anxiety attacks. Once again, I promptly made an appointment with Dr. Chavez. By the end of the 2006 swimming season, she was in top form and she placed in two events in the state championship. I strongly believe that the positive programming CD Jasmine received from Dr. Chavez has also positively affected her volleyball performance. Jasmine has been playing volleyball for two years, and was a starter in the front row this year as a Junior. Once again Dr. Chavez, Thank you so much!
