Mental Training Expert, Dan Vitchoff Offers Insight into the Mental Preparations Required for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win their 7th Super Bowl
Warrendale, PA (PRWEB) February 4, 2011
As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare for their 7th Super Bowl victory, Pittsburgh Steelers fans will be analyzing the physical strengths of their favorite players such as Ben Roethlisberger’s ability to break out of the pocket and make big plays even under pressure or Mike Wallace’s speed that enables him to beat any teams’ secondary defense down the field. The first thing that comes to a fan’s mind about whether or not their team will win the Super Bowl is often about the physical element of the game when in reality the mental aspect of the game is just as important if not more important than a player’s physical strengths and weaknesses.
Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt., Pittsburgh’s leading expert on Mental Training, Performance Coaching, and Sports Psychology points out that sophisticated fitness training, better medical care, and a variety of other factors combine to minimize the physical differences in one sports team over another. “With as many well trained, talented athletes as are competing today in every sport, the difference maker is often which athlete or which team has the best mental training and preparation for competition. In the NFL, when a team loses it is often due to mental mistakes such as penalties and turn over’s.”
The term any given Sunday has been coined to acknowledge the fact that any team can beat any team on any given Sunday. Professional Athletes such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers have to have the ability to make big plays even under intense pressure which is a result of intense mental training and preparations. Vitchoff, founder of the PA Hypnosis Center, and the mental coach who has helped Olympians, Walton Glenn Eller and Vincent Hancock win gold medals, says the Steelers’ mental preparation is critical to whether or not they will win their 7th Super Bowl. Vitchoff’s 33 MethodTM encompasses techniques such as Hypnosis, NLP, Visualization and Imagery which are all key components that Professional and Olympic Athletes use to prepare for competition. Vitchoff also uses these methods and techniques in his Pittsburgh Hypnosis Center to help his clients make positive and permanent changes in their lives such as losing weight, quitting smoking, reducing stress and improving their lives both personally and professionally.
“Confidence will need to be high in the huddle when the Pittsburgh Steelers Offense takes the field. These players have executed each and every play flawlessly a million times in their head. Visualizing yourself achieving success is key in Mental Training whether you are winning the Super Bowl or ending your smoking addiction.” Dan Vitchoff adds that another key to winning will come out of the fact that the Steelers have many veteran players on their team that have won the Super Bowl in the past and they can call on that experience in their mental preparations for Super Bowl XLV. Roethlisberger’s Mental Training, according to Vitchoff, helps him make tremendous plays under pressure, like when he put together a two-minute drive under intense pressure to win Super Bowl XLIII. Vitchoff explains, “Here at the PA Hypnosis Center, we use the same techniques with our gold medalists and other successful performance athletes, as we use with anyone who comes here to lose weight, quit smoking, or reduce stress and anxiety.”
As proof of the power of hypnosis and mental training, Dan Vitchoff, and Catherine Dolgos, a Certified Consulting Hypnotherapist and Fitness and Nutrition Specialist at the PA Hypnosis Center, frequently cite two similar success stories of their clients. Dona W. walked into PA Hypnosis Center with a goal to lose 100 pounds in August of 2008 and now in February, 2011 she is proud to have lost over 96 pounds. She explains, “I feel wonderful, I am a much healthier person now in mind, body and spirit thanks to PA Hypnosis Center.” In her battle with her weight, Dona is a champion.
Using the same type of techniques that helped Dona Webber claim victory, on a very different stage, Vincent Hancock turned to Dan Vitchoff’s Mental Training and Conditioning techniques to help him to quell his typical nervousness and beat out Norway’s Tore Brovold in an intense shoot out for the gold medal during the 2008 Olympic Summer Games, Men’s Skeet competition. Hancock and Brovold, the only two competitors in the world to post perfect scores in international skeet competitions, were tied after the final series. Hancock stayed calm, hitting his targets, while Brovold, sweating profusely, missed his target and wound up settling for the silver medal. Nineteen year old Vincent Hancock, by his own admission tends to be a jittery person and his ability to remain confident and relaxed was a direct result of the Mental Training and Preparations that he did with Dan Vitchoff. Dan Vitchoff explains, “Whether it’s the Super Bowl, the Olympics, or a battle for your life over obesity and health concerns, the stakes are high. Visualization, mental coaching, and hypnosis are the competitive edge and the difference between victory and failure.”
Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt. Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist, is a highly sought Mental Training and Performance Coach, who works with US Olympic Gold Medalists. Vitchoff’s methods help these elite athletes prepare for the most intense competition in the world and are the same methods and techniques used at his Pittsburgh Hypnosis Center (PA Hypnosis Center) to help clients reach their goals.

Christina Aguilera’s Super Bowl Anthem Flub: How to Make Sure it Never Happens Again
Christina Aguilera’s Super Bowl Anthem Flub: How to Make Sure it Never Happens Again
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) February 9, 2011
Pop singer Christina Aguilera was chosen to sing this year’s national anthem at the Super Bowl. But to the surprise, shock, and embarrassment of millions of people, she sang the wrong words. Instead of singing “o’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming,” she sang “what so proudly we watched, at the twilight’s last gleaming.”
The viewers were left to question if she messed up out of nerves, or if she really does not know the words to the National Anthem. “I think Christina simply got nervous and made a mistake,” said Dr. Harlan Kilstein, creator of TheHypnoticSecret.com website. “She’s been out of the spotlight for a while and the Super Bowl is a very high-stakes performance.”
Kilstein adds that Aguilera was obviously focusing more on hitting the notes than she was getting the words right. “Under that kind of pressure, you need an incredible amount of concentration and confidence. That’s why I recommend hypnosis to people for high-pressure situations. It helps you to relax and boosts your natural confidence so that you can hit all the notes and get the words right, too.”
Kilstein has worked with sports stars from around the world who faced performance anxiety. He stated, “In Christina’s case, one session is all it would take to eliminate this stress forever.” He is in the process of contacting her agent to offer his services.
Dr. Kilstein has created a program that enables people to quickly tap into the Law of Attraction for money, success, confidence, and more. “I would recommend this program to anyone who would like to easily change their lives for the better.”
Dr Kilstein is not new to bold claims. He’s has gone on record as claiming he can help break Lindsay Lohan’s patterns here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/02/prweb5042884.htm

Hypnosis, NLP, Sports Psychology; Pittsburgh Steelers Prepare for Super Bowl XLIII
Pittsburgh PA (PRWEB) January 29, 2009
When the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Arizona Cardinals in Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIII, the players’ mental training and preparations will have received as much if not more attention than their physical conditioning and strength training. Today’s professional athletes understand that victories happen, not on the gridiron, the pitcher’s mound, or the eighteenth hole, but within the small, complex space of his or her own mindset. The Pittsburgh Steelers will be entering into Super Bowl XLIII with an expectation of success and a will to win. Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt., (President PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, PA) Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist and Mental Training and Performance Coach, works with gold medal Olympians on Mental Training and Preparation. He explains the implications of mental preparedness for the Pittsburgh Steelers, “Whether you’re at the Olympics competing against every country in the world or in the Super Bowl, America’s most watched television broadcast, the winners are always the athletes who have made the best preparations and then make the fewest mental mistakes.”
Addressing the mental preparation needs of amateur and professional athletes has led Dan Vitchoff to develop ‘The 33 Method,’ which incorporates hypnosis, sports psychology, NLP, visualization and imagery to help athletes prepare for victory. 2008 Beijing Olympic Gold Medalists Walton Glenn Eller and Vincent Hancock credit much of their Olympic success to the work they did with Dan Vitchoff. Glenn Eller says that his Gold Medal is proof that Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques really do work.
From the Olympic stage to his office in Pittsburgh, PA Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques have a profound impact. Clients at Vitchoff’s Pittsburgh hypnosis center have effectively used ‘The 33 Method’ to help them lose weight, stop smoking, and reduce tension and anxiety. Dan Vitchoff’s Methods and Techniques have been proven equally successful whether they are used by athletes to win championships or by the average person trying to break habits and change life patterns.
Dan Vitchoff explains, “Here at our Pittsburgh hypnosis office, we offer the same success strategies that worked for our clients who are Olympic athletes, to our clients who come to see us seeking to lose weight, stop smoking, or simply improve their lives.”
Few top professional athletes today go into competition without taking advantage of the tools that sports psychology, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), visualization and imagery, and hypnosis offer to help them develop mental toughness, improve focus, and achieve a competitive edge. At the PA Hypnosis Center, Dan Vitchoff and Catherine Dolgos, a Certified Consulting Hypnotherapist and Fitness and Nutrition Specialist, work not only with competitive athletes, but with individuals who are facing their own opponents, including obesity, smoking, and other addictions.
Dona Weber says that losing weight with the help of the PA Hypnosis Center has freed her from a lifetime of roller coaster dieting. “Daniel Vitchoff going to China with a team competing in the Olympic Games; that was my eye opener. This is the last time I have to lose this weight because … (weight loss hypnosis) was a life changing experience.” Weber goes on to say that she has spent her entire life fighting this battle and now has lost over 45 pounds in less than 4 months.
Dan Vitchoff, a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, isn’t making any predictions about the outcome of Super Bowl XLIII, but acknowledges that the team who shows up most mentally prepared to win will take home the victory.
About The 33 Method:
Dan Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt. Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist, is a Mental Training and Performance Coach for US Olympic Gold Medalists. The best Methods and Techniques in the world, that Vitchoff used to help these elite athletes prepare for the Olympics are the same methods and techniques used to help clients at the PA Hypnosis Center improve in the following areas: Weight Loss, Quit Smoking, Reduce Stress, Tension and Anxiety, Overcome Fears, Phobias and Insomnia, Improve Sports Performance, Improve Memory and Concentration, Boost Self Confidence, Public Speaking and Personal and Professional Coaching. learn more at pahypnosiscenter.com

Who Will Win The Super Bowl And Why? New Book Shows How Psychology And Math Predict Winners Of Top Sporting Events
Who Will Win The Super Bowl And Why? New Book Shows How Psychology And Math Predict Winners Of Top Sporting Events
River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) January 19, 2010
A new book by Jay P. Granat, Ph.D. Psychotherapist and Founder of http://www.stayinthezone.com and Carlton Chin, CFA, outlines fifty mathematical and psychological factors of champions who win big games, like The Super Bowl.
“Team owners, sports executives, athletic directors and coaches can use the authors’ ideas to evaluate their organizations and determine how well teams are likely to do in a big game. Sports executives can also determine what they need to do to build a winning franchise.
“Fans and people who like to wager on sports can integrate the concepts in this book with their analysis and their existing betting systems.
“Parents of young athletes will also find this book to be quite informative,” according to Dr. Jay Granat.
Dr. Granat, who has helped Olympic athletes and who has been named one of America’s top ten mental gurus by Golf Digest and been featured in The New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, Good Morning America, Tennis Magazine, ESPN Magazine, ESPN Radio, Tennis View Magazine, The BBC, The Daily News, The Star Ledger, The Bergen Record and The CBC, believes that psychology and statistics can teach us a great deal about what it takes to perform well when the pressure is on.
There are many questions that Dr. Granat and Carlton Chin, an MIT graduate and quantitative trader, who founded his own hedge fund CARATcapital.com fifteen years ago, start to examine in this book and in their work with athletes, coaches and teams. Here are just a few:
What really determines who wins big games like The Super Bowl? What separates two great teams from one another? What causes errors in big games? And what allows some players and teams to handle the pressure? What causes teams, players and coaches to choke under the pressure of a big game like The Super Bowl? And what can be done to help players, teams and coaches perform their best in The Super Bowl and other big games?
Indeed, there are a lot of factors which determine who will win The Super Bowl. Some experts focus on traditional football statistics like: points scored, points allowed, number of wins, number of losses, turnovers, takeaways, yards gained, yards allowed, quarterback ratings, momentum, margin of victories, margin of losses and recent performances. And these measures are relevant.
However, Dr. Granat and Carlton Chin show how mental toughness, coaching, leadership, focus, errors, interpersonal relationships, attitude, and ability to get into the zone contribute to success in big games. And they have mathematical data which support many of their theories.
“I enjoy applying my approaches to the world of sports,” remarked Chin.
The new book, published by World Audience, Inc., is called Who Will Win The Big Game? 50 Characteristics of Champions. This easy to read guide identifies the key psychological and mathematical issues that coaches, fans, team owners, sports executives, athletes and bettors need to be consider when evaluating two top teams or two top athletes that are meeting in a big game.
According to Dr. Granat, author of How To Get Into The Zone With Sport Psychology and Self-Hypnosis, Zone Tennis, How To Lower Your Golf Score With Sport Psychology And Self-Hypnosis, Get Into The Zone In Just One Minute and 101 Ways To Break A Hitting Slump, “Carlton and I plan to work closely with managers, agents, coaches, teams, universities and professional franchises. We can show them what they need to understand and change to be certain that their team performs to their fullest potential. Math and the social sciences can teach us a lot about winning consistently and frequently. And Carlton’s love affairs with both numbers and sports allow him to discover some important trends and patterns of success.”
The book also has some interesting statistics about success in baseball, tennis, golf, hockey and football. In fact, Mr. Chin discovered a model which has predicted the winner correctly in eighty percent of The Super Bowls played in the past.
So, who will win this big game? Prior to the contest, the authors will place their prediction on their blog and in Dr. Granat’s weekly newspaper column which appears in four New Jersey weeklies. His blog is http://www.stayinthezone.com/blog
