I believe that the AME inventory will help me be both a better field hockey player and a better teammate! It has helped me identify my strengths as an elite athlete and also areas that I can improve on, not only physically, but mentally as well. In team sports, I think athletes not only need to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, but the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates. With the immediate results of AME, and the feedback I received, there is no doubt that will take my game a step higher!

I thought AME was right on the money! It was cool how accurate it was and how it helped me to see my weaknesses and what would be useful for me to work on. Every athlete should take it.

AME is exceptional. The AME inventory is as reliable and valid as TAIS and provides more useful information which I can use to provide a specific focus for the athlete's mental skills training program.

Dear Winning Mind:

I wanted to write this letter to congratulate Enhanced Performance Systems not only on the TAIS inventory and the incredible support Winning Mind has given me while using this diagnostic since 1997, but also on your current online initiatives -- most notably, AME.

I can say with confidence that AME is one of the most innovative and well-assembled diagnostics currently available. The AME uses a unique combination of programming languages, as well as a common-sense interface to present the user with a neat, first-class assessment medium.

Sincerely,

Christopher D. Stammer

I don't have a great deal of time to spend "playing" on the Internet. So I try and make the most of my time. I love running and I am in training for the San Diego Marathon. Anything that can give me better insight into myself and the way I can maximize my performance is interesting and appreciated. AME was remarkably accurate, although in retrospect I probably hedged in my responses a little. At first I was surprised by the results then when I thought about it, I saw myself in them. This weekend I had my best runs of the year. I attribute that in part to the insights I gained from the AME Thanks.

The AME report provided a meaningful profile of important skills in a language that my athletes understood. The next step for these cricket players is representing their State in National competition and ultimately perhaps on the International stage. Here are some of the specific things they had to say about AME --

"It's very accurate and makes real sense in terms of my performance. I often get a good start but then I have problems because I overanalyze."

"Excellent. Much more specific and helpful than some similar testing I did."

"Pretty much spot on!"

"My coach read it and felt it was exactly right, especially the bit about Killer Instinct."

"It's right on the mark. Exactly how I am - I'm surprised that it picked up on my lack of Discipline. I guess I've relied on natural talent up until now and haven't needed to really train."

"I can't believe how just 50 questions could uncover so much..."
