MAX OUT MINDSET
Given the talent, the experience, the athletes, the coaches, the depth, the health, and the intangibles, can a team reach the limits of their capabilities? And can they do it under pressure when it matters the most? If you can't do it when it matters, what's the point?
Dr. Larry Widman High Performance Psychiatrist | Elite Mindset Coach
Doc has over 20 years of experience as a psychiatrist working as a high-performance mindset coach. Doc works with CEO’s, Pro-athletes, Olympians, and multiple NCAA Teams. He has been integral in many high school championships and six NCAA Division I National Championships, developing elite mindset skills and “Ultimate Trust”.
“I met Dr. Widman in 2013 when I was a member of the Volleyball team for the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. I wish I had met him sooner. He worked with the team and staff on effective communication, vulnerability, and how to handle high-pressure situations which ultimately helped lead our program to two National Championships during my career. He showed me that mindset training is a skill in the same way that serving a volleyball is a skill, and that you need to practice both to be a great athlete and teammate. Having someone like Dr. Widman when I was playing sports at the high school and club level would have only made sports and life that much easier. Mindset training is something that everyone can (and should) practice and I am confident that Dr. Widman can change your life the same way he did with me.”
Kelly Hunter, two-time national champion, All-American, assistant volleyball coach, University of Nebraska
“In 2009 I realized that athletes were changing, and I was struggling as a coach on how to relate with this current generation and needed help on building a great team. At that same time I was burned out and realized I needed to make changes if I was going to survive as a coach. I found Dr Widman who was consulting with the University of Nebraska’s Athletic Department and recruited him to create our performance team. This team approach helped me to be a better coach by giving me the skills to understand and relate to my players and build great teams that played with Ultimate Trust. They also helped me personally by changing my mindset on how to coach and take care of myself personally. This multi-disciplinary team within a team approach has been so revolutionary that I spent time outlining it in my book Dream Like a Champion. I have no doubt that Performance Mountain can help you and your Team reach an elite level and optimize in whatever sector you are in. Simply stated, ‘It is the way to elite performance.’” - John Cook, Head Volleyball Coach, University of Nebraska
TARYN KLOTH AND KRISTEN NUSS AVP BEACK TEAM OF THE YEAR 2022
“I've been working with Dr. Widman since 2015 when I was a freshman on the Creighton University volleyball team. Fast forward to 2022, I am still working with him and my beach volleyball teammate to pursue a career on the International and domestic beach volleyball tours. This journey has been anything but smooth, but Dr. Widman has been there through the mental challenges that we have faced and helped us to hurdle the blockades. It's scary to let someone in your thoughts and be vulnerable, and it's scary to share them with a teammate or friend, but pushing through that made a huge difference with us and our communication.” -Taryn Kloth
“Over the past couple of years, especially this past year, I have come to realize how important the mental side of being an athlete is, and I have Dr. Larry Widman to thank for that. He has played a tremendous role in helping Taryn and I elevate our game in ways that does not involve any volleyball strategy. He has allowed us to have open and honest conversations about the rough parts of being a professional beach volleyball player and has provided ways to help us navigate through those times. It is an ongoing process, but I am sure glad that we have Dr.Widman as a part of our team.” -Kristen Nuss

Thank you Coach Jess, for helping me improve my mindset, which is now showing up on the court.” - Lauren Forelli, MVP and Gold Medal - Girls International Select Division at the 2022 USA All-Star Championships.

ELITE MINDSET TRAINING SERVICES
“Dr. Widman has worked with the Creighton program since the Spring of 2012. We asked Dr. Widman to work with our team on culture and chemistry, which I felt was holding us back in reaching our goals. Since that time, our program has reached new heights, with a group of young women who are tough and resilient, and have learned to trust and love each other. I firmly believe that Dr. Widman has played a large role in our ninth straight conference championships, eleventh straight NCAA appearances, our Sweet 16 in 2015, and our Elite Eight run in 2016. It isn’t magic, but instead he works on healthy communication, respect, trust, and staying positive. Our players are mentally tough in stressful situations—if that be end - game or a tough environment—because of Dr. Widman.” - Kirsten Bernthal Booth, head volleyball coach, Creighton University

MAX OUT MINDSET BOOK AND WORKBOOK
This book was written, in part, to help individuals and teams put themselves in a position to perform at the highest level when it matters the most because the margin between success and failure is often razor-thin. You will learn strategies to develop an elite mindset and maximize team culture and chemistry.

In Max Out Mindset, Larry outlines these steps by recounting stories from coaches, athletes, and teams he has worked with over the years to share his insight on how to max out when it matters most. Using the fifteen powers outlined within, you’ll learn how to prepare for battle, max out your mind, max out your emotions, and ultimately, max out your team.
