Sports Services

In 1986, Rick Aberman, Ph.D. joined the Sports Medicine Staff of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Athletic Department as a Psychologist. This first-of-a-kind affiliation represented a bold initiative towards understanding the impact of emotions on performance.

The following services are an example of how Lennick Aberman can help you achieve and sustain an optimal level of performance:

Talent Evaluation and Selection:
When you're presented with two athletes with equal talent, choosing the one that will more effectively develop as a team player and leader can be an expensive gamble. Take the guesswork out of the decision by having Lennick Aberman look beyond the obvious physical talent, and examine each athlete's emotional intelligence.

Performance Enhancement:
Unlike typical off-season training programs that focus mostly on improving physical skills, Lennick Aberman takes a holistic approach to improving performance. Through our network of specialists we represent expertise in sports, psychology, business, yoga and physical therapy.

Professional Development for Sports Executives:
Just because someone is a great performer does not necessarily mean that they'll be an effective leader. To lead others, one must first manage oneself, staying smart and focused in highly charged, emotional arenas. Lennick Aberman provides important and often neglected professional development for executives in all sports.

Sports Psychotherapy:
Lennick Aberman develops sustained optimal performance by helping athletes, coaches and sports executives experience "The Zone," a state when feelings, emotions, thoughts, actions and behaviors are in alignment. It's a focused, high-powered level that allows one to develop and gain self-awareness and unlock barriers to performance and emotional well-being.
