What Are the Performance Holdbacks Affecting Your Game?

Performance Holdbacks: the invisible patterns that influence your decisions and emotions, especially when it matters most.

Mental Holdbacks

The psychological patterns—like subtle emotional shifts or limiting beliefs—that can affect the quality of your decisions under pressure

Routine Holdbacks

The gaps in your daily systems for study, recovery, and preparation that prevent you from consistently performing at your full potential.

The lack of a high-level career framework for goal-setting and prioritization, which limits your long-term professional development.

Strategic Holdbacks

"Alan has been a game-changer for my career and well-being. Working with him, I've improved my relationship with myself and others. I'm grateful and proud to have him in my corner and consider him a friend and an ally"

Anton Wigg

"Alan has improved my performance on and off the table. He worked with me to build a routine and helps me plan each individual trip. These routines help me stay focused and in a good mindset so I can perform at my best consistently. I'd highly recommend him"

Gabriel Moura

"Working with Alan has been one of the most eye-opening and transformative experiences I’ve had. He picked up on patterns, beliefs, and blocks that I hadn’t even realized were there, and helped me bring them into the light. What sets him apart is his intuition, presence, and genuine investment in growth. I can’t recommend him enough"
