Weight Loss Group Going Well and Free to Join!
Obesity is the biggest behavioral killer and
the
real cause of obesity is mental, so we're unleashing the big guns of
high performance psychology to cure this disease!
John F. Murray, November, 2007
Click the filmstrip & enter the weight group blog
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 Has Resumed! Results Posted Soon.
See all the Weekly Excitement from Super Bowl
I through XIV at:
http://www.MentalPerformanceIndex.com
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!

Comments about Dr. Murray
http://www.johnfmurray.com/comments.aspx
Dr. John F.
Murray is arguably the most famous sports psychologist in the world.
Ernie W. Webb III, The Topeka Capital Journal Online
John, you are doing an awesome job at putting "a face" to sports
psychology! Keep up the good work!
Cheryl Nowell, Director of Counseling and Psychological Services
Center,
Florida International University, Miami, Florida
After a speech to the YPO in Salt Lake City, Utah: "Dr. Murray's
principals are as applicable
to business as they are to athletics. For example, Dr Murray's
analysis that top Tennis Players
often win just a few more points then their opponents in each match
demonstrates that
fractionally better performance yields substantial returns, and this
is true in business as well.
After receiving this information from Dr. Murray I pondered how much
the company I
manage could improve its performance if our sales reps made just one
more call a day, or did
not lose their focus on the Fridays before three day holiday
weekends? Reagan Outdoor
Advertising has engaged Dr. Murray as a consultant to find out!"
Dewey Reagan, President and CEO of Reagan Outdoor
Advertising, one of the Top 10
largest billboard advertising companies in America.
The company website
is at: http://www.reaganusa.com
"John Murray, a 43-year-old psychologist in Palm Beach,
Florida is one of the major
psychologists in sports. While some sports psychologists are
either pure sports science teachers
with no training in treatment of personal problems or pure psychologists
with no training in sports,
Murray offers experience in both areas."
FoxSports.com , Feature story on Sport Psychology by
Dan Weil October 22, 2005
"With
the help of Dr. Murray I was able to regain the confidence
and willpower to once again achieve world-class success in
my sport. Dr. Murray helped me and I feel he can help you
maximize your potential too."
Vincent Spadea, ATP Tour Tennis Professional (reached
#10 in world - Champions Race)
and #18 in the world after mental coaching and following the
longest losing streak in tennis
history (21 straight losses). Singles Champion of Scottsdale
Open in 2004.
Dr. J:
GREAT Job on Good Morning America! I got up early to watch
and you did a fine
segment on choking in sports. They should have had you on
longer than the other people as
you were more interesting. As a tennis journalist and
life-long observer of the sport,
Dr. John F. Murray is the Roger Federer of Sport
Psychologists: he has all the right answers
and the ability to summon them at the right time
Richard Pagliaro, Tennis Week Magazine

input and questions!!
