Weight Loss Group Going Well and Free to Join!

high performance psychology and cure this disease!

Using the power and conspicuous nature of video emails, participants are asked
to send in a "before video email" for the blog which will be compared later with the
"after video email" when the weight is lost. Dr. Murray kicks off the program with his
own video email to lose some weight re-gained after an exciting year of travel.
We've just started and three are in with many more welcome - at no cost!   
 

THE SUPER BOWL OF SUPER BOWLS

MPI Study Ready to Resume!
See all the Weekly Excitement from Super Bowl I through XIV at:

QUESTION: Why is there so much hoopla about the MPI's 5/5 record in
almost perfectly estimating relative performance in the Super Bowl,
and 4/5 record in beating the official spread?

ANSWER: Because this PROVES that MENTAL FACTORS - which
weigh so heavily in MPI scoring - are CRITICAL to PERFORMANCE
and SUCCESS. Coaches who ignore solid mental skills assessments
and sport psychology training for their players and teams - in any sport -
do so at their own peril!
