PHILOSOPHY AND TRAINING
Mind over Mattel Sports was designed and created to bring out each athlete’s unique ability and to help them reach their full potential. We do not measure their abilities against each other, but instead set individual physical and mental goals We teach them how to achieve these goals, as well as how to handle and conquer the setbacks encountered along the way.
Mind over Matter Sports is in the business to develop the mental and physical state our young athletes who perform competitively or who just desire to increase their performance. We believe that all things are possible and attainable when you train your mind and body in conjunction.
Our philosophy as well as our training sets us apart from any other trainers and programs in our current market because we are selling nothing aside from hard work, There are no quick fixes. No gimmicks. No pieces of equipment that need to be purchased or sold. Two things necessary when you enroll and become a part of ind over Matter Sports Training, your mind and body.
Donnell D. Knight developed Mind Over Matter Sports in 2008, after playing basketball in high school, college, and professionally. Realizing that the mental aspect of the game is something rarely if ever taught and mental toughness is a must to obtain and maintain success. Helping players at any level to become the best they can and desire to be.
Mind over Matter Sports Training takes a unique and distinctive approach to training and developing youth both mentally and physically. Its concept was derived from my experience as a player and coach. After living on both sides of the spectrum I gained insight as to what I needed as a player physically as well as what I needed from a coach and as a coach mentally.
Mind over Matter Sports goal is to exercise ones brain as well as their body. To increase awareness that to obtain optimal results on and off the court, mental and physical capabilities have to go hand in hand.
WHO DO WE TRAIN?
We will train any skill level, from beginners to elite and individuals as well as teams. Ages 5-10 we focus on both the foundation and fundamentals of both mental and physical training. Ages 11-17 we initially focus on re-training the mind and body; teaching how and why it’s important and how our training differs from their previous training experience.
Mind over Matter Sports also accommodates school and club teams. Providing them with workout programs and instruction. We offer special programs such as “brain workouts” where our physical bodies are at rest while our minds do the work. Camps are offered, as well as elite training for anyone who desires more extensive training.
Mind over Matter Sports has trained and coached teams that have gone on to win state championships and Nike Tournament of Champions Championships. Our players have received prestigious individual awards such as Gatorade Player of the Year, State Player of the Year, and numerous MVP awards.
