HIGH-PERFORMANCE GROUP

Do any of these points resonate with you?

This program is for professional players who, despite their skill, feel they have hit a plateau or are facing persistent frustrations.

The Self-Worth Rollercoaster

Does your confidence live and die by your last session? Do you spiral into harsh self-criticism after a single mistake, with thoughts that you are "worthless" or "a fraud"? This is a sign that your self-worth is critically tied to short-term results.

The Discipline Gap

You know what you should do (sleep, warm-ups, diet), but you constantly struggle to execute it. The poker lifestyle—constant travel, jet lag, and late-night sessions ending at 2 or 6 a.m.—makes maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm feel impossible.

Does the game feel more like an "obligation" or a "job" than a passion? You've lost the "hunger" or "curiosity" for the game and find yourself procrastinating on studying. This is a key sign of burnout.

When the Passion Fades (Burnout)

The "Lone Wolf" Problem

Does your career feel isolating? You lack a true support network that understands the unique pressures you face, as friends and family often don't understand your career. This isolation and fear of showing "weakness" leads to exhaustion and a feeling that your career isn't sustainable.

Emotional Hijacking & Focus Leaks

Do you get "emotionally hijacked" by specific triggers, like an aggressive "bully" at the table or a bad beat? You feel your logic spiral out of control as you enter a "personal battle" instead of playing your strategy. You also find your focus drained by digital distractions like your phone during play.

The Financial Pressure Cooker

Whether it's the stress of being in makeup or general bankroll anxiety, does money pressure follow you to the table and negatively impact your decisions?

Our Approach: A Plan for Sustainable Performance

Working in a high-performance group provides a structured solution to these deep-seated problems. Here are the core benefits of our approach:

1. Satisfy Your Basic Psychological Needs

Motivation and well-being depend on three innate needs, which this group is designed to fulfill:

• Competence (Feeling Capable): The group provides immediate, accurate feedback on your thought process, not just the result. This helps you feel effective and that you are improving.

• Relatedness (Feeling Connected): You will combat the inherent isolation of poker and build a support network that understands the stress of a downswing, which is critical for resilience and preventing burnout.

• Autonomy (Feeling in Control): The group doesn't impose a single style. It presents you with options, analysis, and data, allowing you to choose and voluntarily integrate the strategies that work for you.

2. Foster a "Growth Mindset"

You will stop seeing errors and losses as permanent failures and start seeing them as valuable information for growth. The group functions as a "mindset intervention" by collectively analyzing mistakes without judgment, reinforcing the belief that skill is malleable. The focus shifts from "winning this session" (a performance goal) to "improving our game" (a mastery goal), which is far more sustainable.

Develop a robust belief in your ability to execute difficult plays and perform in competitive environments. This is built through evidence-based methods:

• Vicarious Experiences: Watching your peers successfully implement a complex strategy (like a river bluff) convinces you that you can do it too.

• Social Persuasion: Hearing expert colleagues say "We trust your analysis" or "That was a good decision, even though the result was bad" is a powerful source of confidence.

3. Build "Confidence"

4. Co-Regulate Emotion and Cope with Stress

This is the antidote to "Emotional Hijacking." You'll get better at navigating tilt and recovering faster from downswings. Emotions are often best regulated interpersonally. When you discuss a hand that put you on tilt, your peers provide objective perspectives ("That play is profitable long-term") that you cannot see when you're frustrated. The group acts as a "stress buffer".

5. Optimize Your Executive Functions

This provides a direct improvement in your real-time decision-making, impulse control, and flexible thinking.

• Cognitive Flexibility: Reviewing a hand, a peer will force you to change perspectives ("What if he thinks that you think..."), training your mental agility.

• Inhibitory Control: The group helps you identify impulsive patterns (e.g., "You always over-call here") and create strategic pre-session plans to inhibit that automatic response at the table.

This Program is For You If...

You have a Professional Commitment: You treat poker as your profession (or your primary focus) and are dedicated to continuous, structured improvement.

You have an Open Mindset: You are willing to receive honest feedback, question your own beliefs, and explore new ways of thinking about performance.

You have a Desire to Contribute: You show a genuine interest in the growth of your peers, not just your own. You understand that giving value is as important as receiving it.

You are Curious & Driven: You are genuinely interested in personal growth and enjoy the process of developing yourself.
