Enhanced Performance Systems Inc. to Launch Internet's First Sports
Mental Assessment and Training Program

SAN DIEGO (September 14, 1999) -  Sports training will never be the same again! Athletes, coaches and sports enthusiasts striving to gain a competitive edge now have The Athlete's Competitive Edge (Athlete's Competitive Edge) -- a revolutionary Internet-based program developed by Enhanced Performance Systems Inc. (EPS). The Athlete's Competitive Edge provides users with elite-level, sport-psychological assessment and instruction previously available only to Olympic and professional athletes.

The Athlete's Competitive Edge identifies problem areas (Error Analysis) by measuring attentional strengths and weaknesses, decision-making style and interpersonal preferences to provide athletes with individualized recommendations for improvement. A distinctive feature of The Athlete's Competitive Edge is Performance Profilingª, a program enabling individuals to compare themselves to elite performers from individual and team sports. The comprehensive and interactive The Athlete's Competitive Edge report highlights 23 critical performance factors, including focus, confidence, discipline, decisiveness, leadership, resilience, and performance under pressure.

"The body may make you competitive, but the mind gives you the edge," explains EPS President & Founder Dr. Robert Nideffer. "This is the fundamental premise of the Athlete's Competitive Edge profiling system and we are excited to have developed such a unique and important web-based product." Dr. Nideffer is the author of more than a dozen books and hundreds of articles in the area of Sport Psychology and performance under pressure.

The sports-focused Athlete's Competitive Edge program is based on the widely-used TAIS (The Attentional and Interpersonal Style) inventory, introduced by EPS in 1976 and utilized worldwide today in the training of championship-level athletes, Fortune 500 executives, and military leaders. The EPS assessment and training formula has been used successfully with organizations and companies including:

The Edmonton Oilers The Boston Celtics The Italian Olympic and World Cup Soccer Teams The U.S.Navy SEALs The U.S. Special Forces Command Lucent Technologies GM Europe
