Most often, it’s not much that separates the winners from the losers in athletics and business.  Milli-seconds often make the difference between winning Olympic Gold and not making the podium.  Inches left, right or short on a putt somewhere in the play of 72 holes often loses a golf championship. 

Athletes and successful businessmen know that the separator between those who win and those who don’t is often in the head of the doer.  Physical abilities, training and education alone will only carry someone so far.  The rest comes from what makes-up the person mentally -- the intensity of their commitment, their “fit” to the demands of the challenge, and their mental fitness to not only compete but to win.   They also know that this dynamic extends deeper into the team and management around them; and, it sweeps broader than just elite levels of athletics and business.  And, finding that tool to accurately define and identify mental edge has been so elusive until now.

For the past forty years, Dr. Gary Russell, PhD has dedicated his life and career to the research and application of human cognitive science to learning and motivation.  As a teacher at Shadyside Academy in the early 1970’s, Dr. Russell identified that “teaching” and “motivation” of students was more inherent to the child’s orientation to receive and to effectively apply than through traditional lecture and repetition.  Over the past forty years, Dr. Russell’s research with industry notables has been the foundation for growth in a successful nationwide soccer camps business and, more recently, in the development of a deeply insightful human performance profiling innovation called “Winning Profile”.  Winning Profile is currently being used by Olympic, professional and national sports teams as well as in corporate recruiting and development to identify and enhance highest level performance of both the individual and the collective power of teams.  Winning Profile is also the cover story of Northwestern Mutual’s spring edition of Creative Living magazine.

The science that makes Winning Profile is remarkable and delivers high value regardless of where and when applied.  In various forms, its application can start at the earliest ages and carry through to the highest levels of competition and business.  Right now, it is embedded in Russell’s youth soccer camp’s curriculum as a notable separator from traditional sports training mantra of “do and do again”.  It is also emerging now for further development and exploitation in higher to highest level sports and business.
