REBECCA JAEGER

THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS COACH

Mental Toughness coach Rebecca Jaeger built a new life after hers had spiralled out of control due to a back injury in 1996. Rebecca was only 27 years old with huge dreams!

The former 3 time Australian Softball Champion and 6 x NRL Cheerleader never expected her life would be stuck on survival after instructing fitness in Japan. Rebecca was on her way to live in America but her journey was over and Rebecca flew back to Sydney to face the injury. Rebecca was an ambitious teen & young adult - this was not part of her plan.

Today, 26 years on - Rebecca now delivers Mental Toughness after the attempts on her own life - Rebecca knows what you need to create a new life.

Rebecca has been on a journey of self-discovery which has evolved to understanding behaviour on a deeper level. Rebecca is also writing 26 children's books to guide children and their parents to learn the coping mechanisms needed to build Emotional Intelligence for Mental Toughness.

From 2009 to 2012 Rebecca studied for a Degree in Sports & Performance. Her 400 hours prac was on the track studying V8 Ute drivers Kim Jane, Jack Elsegood, Grant Johnson and George Miedecke. Rebecca also had the opportunity to study David Brabham.

The opportunity with David Brabham and George motivated her to create a specialised program for drivers who need the coping mechanisms on track.

Rebecca has re -written a performance program for all sportsmen and women. Rebecca guides all with the coping mechanisms to build Emotional Intelligence for Mental Toughness.

Rebecca has had one back operation in 2005 and - in 2020 had 2 discs removed from her neck. Thirty six days later - Rebecca had a 2 level lower back reconstruction which was very painful. Now walking and sitting again after years of being bedridden. Rebecca is now ready to hold her workshops to help with performance anxiety and all fear based related behaviour.

PERFORMANCE ANXIETY

ARE YOU EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT?

There are times in my own sporting and dance life where I was feeling nauseas - or I had completely zoned out, like I was trapped or stuck. I remember being in the batters box staring at the pitcher but feeling frozen and in some time warp. I remember at least a dozen times over my softball career actually holding my hand up at the umpire whilst I stepped out of the box to regain composure. There were also the times when in the Parramatta Stadium tunnel - about to take the field to dance, I would be blank. Completely in the fog, panicking that I did not know the routine - it was terrifying! To help me - the girls would yell the steps out and then all the fear faded and I could enjoy the routine.

Performance anxiety is real and the most effective way of creating change within was creating the ABC's of Mental Toughness and asking myself - am I living with fear or trust?

'Everyday we are performing - my question is - how well are we?'

MARCOS AMBROSE MOTORSPORT

USA NASCAR - GEORGE MIEDECKIE

Prior to my experiences working with Rebecca, I always had trouble maximising my potential over a race weekend. Among other things, I had difficulty maintaining focus and composure at the races, which too often led to inconsistent performance on the track.

Through Frame Of Mind coaching and the techniques that I learned, my performance has improved both on and off the track. In the first weekend that I started the program, I scored my first round victory and have since continued to enjoy success in racing here in the United States.

In my opinion, in motorsport mental fitness and composure is as important as physical preparation. I'm lucky enough to say that I can thank Rebecca Jaeger and Frame Of Mind for helping me to unlock and maximise my mind - and it's helped me win races!

Bec's ability to guide and help create the new path and approach to challenges, was very different to the sports psychologists I had experienced in the past.

The program allowed me to think and feel differently towards challenges - there was clarity.

'If you want Mental Toughness in your life - you need to become vulnerable - otherwise we are building on false validations and views which leads to failure.'
