AME items which measure performance relevant concentration skills, personal attributes, and interpersonal style, have been administered to literally tens of thousands of elite level athletes. The extensive research involved athletes competing at national and international levels in over 50 different sports, as well as athletes from countries around the globe including Russia, China, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Sweden, and Poland, to name a few.
Research on these elite level performers clearly demonstrates that the following factors distinguish a) elite athletes from athletes in the general population; and 2) world champions from elite and non-elite performers:
These factors and implications for training documented by Enhanced Performance Systems have been described in detail in a chapter entitled: ÔIdentifying and Developing World Class PerformersÕ. The chapter appears in a book on the psychological preparation of elite athletes published by the International Society for Sport Psychology (ISSP). Additional information on the validity and reliability of AME and TAIS (the Attentional and Interpersonal Style Inventory) can be found at:the ability to focus concentration and avoid distractions

Dr. Robert NidefferÕs extensive research and hands on experience with championship level athletes have resulted in worldwide acceptance of his findings and the subsequent performance tools developed by Enhanced Performance Systems. Nideffer has been recognized by his peers as one of the top ten contributors to the field of Sports Psychology. NidefferÕs works have been translated into over 15 foreign languages, lending further testament to the universal acclaim of his research and training accomplishments with Enhanced Performance Systems.
At Winning Mind weÕve used our front-line experience working with the world's best athletes to identify the performance implications for any differences that exist between your scores on AME, and the scores of world champions. Additionally, weÕve outlined the specific steps you can take, based on those differences, to move closer to world class performance.
YouÕll find AME gives you the essential information needed to reach and surpass your goals. HereÕs your chance to benefit from our years of research and from our experience at helping many of the greatest athletes in the world improve their ability to concentrate and perform under highly competitive and often stressful conditions. That experience comes to you through the Athlete's Mental Edge (AME), and it truly is the edge youÕve been looking for.
