#1-Ranked Junior Tennis Player Hires Bill Cole As Mental Game
Coach.
William B. Cole Consultants announces that Sacramento-based Jaya Billa, ranked
#1 in the 14's and 16's in singles and doubles in Northern California,
and top twenty in the nation, has hired Bill Cole, MS, MA as his
mental game coach.
Bill Cole, MS, MA, CEO of William B. Cole Consultants, will be providing
a complete mental training program for Jaya, including coaching
in the office, on the tennis court, by telephone and on site the
day of tournaments. Bill Cole, with over 30 years in sports psychology,
research and mental game coaching, has been a mental game coach
in over 55 sports. In tennis he has been a world-class ATP Pro
Tennis Tour sports psychology coach. In golf he has coached players
who have competed on both the men's and women's pro tours, in
the World Junior Golf Championships and in the US Open Championships,
including one player who finished in the top 10 on the 2008 Duramed
Futures Tour.
Jaya Billa commented:
"I was already very successful in junior tennis. I have been ranked
#1 in the 14's and 16's in singles and doubles in Northern California,
and top twenty in the nation. I won the San Diego Boys 14's National
Open Singles and Doubles and took third place in the Boys 16's
Copper Bowl Singles. I wanted to not only be able to maintain
the rankings I had achieved to date, but to continue to steadily
improve. The pressure is even greater once you are a top-ranked
player, and I wanted to know how to handle that pressure better.
We researched the top sports psychologists and mental training
coaches and discovered that Bill Cole had been the mental game
coach to professional players who have had wins over Pete Sampras,
Andy Roddick, Marat Safin, Michael Chang and world #4, Tim Henman.
Bill also had been an NCAA Division I College Head Coach in tennis,
the Sports Psychology Coach for the Israeli Davis Cup Team, and
had coached in the US and Europe on the ATP Tour.
I took his on-line mental game assessment and communicated with
him, and very quickly our family hired Bill. Ever since, he has
been helping us navigate the competitive world of junior tennis
at the sectional and national levels.
In just our first mental training session, I learned a huge amount
about the mental game and what I needed to do to perform to my
top abilities in competition. Since then, Bill has been an integral
part of our tennis training team. My Mom and Dad and I work with
him at his office, on the phone, at tournaments and on the lesson
court. Bill taught me about the psychology of match preparation,
concentration, how to really relax in close matches (even when
it seemed impossible to do so), to stay focused, to analyze and
solve problems on the court, mental toughness, confidence and
my ability to get into the zone.
Bill's techniques in the mental game are extremely powerful and
easy to learn. These techniques take effect immediately. I was
able to use all the techniques right away, and my game improved
a lot. I have been using the techniques in matches and the results
have shown already. I was able to stay calm, focused, and relaxed
under pressure. Bill has helped my tennis game a lot through mental
game coaching.
If you suspect that improving your mental approach to your tennis
is the missing link in your game, you are probably right. Bill
is a specialist in the mental part of tennis, in addition to having
been a very successful teaching pro, and top competitor himself.
His insights and knowledge about the upper levels of competitive
tennis are amazing. The mental training system he taught me for
reaching my inner excellence continues to be very powerful. I
use what he teaches me every day, in practices, and in matches.
If you want to take your game to the next level, I strongly suggest
you call Bill."

News Release: May 30, 2009 - San Jose, California
William B. Cole Consultants announces that Professional MMA fighter Jesse
Gillespie, coached by William B. Cole Consultants CEO Bill Cole, won the
WCSC California State MMA Professional Middleweight Title.
Bill Cole, MS, MA provided a complete mental training program
for Gillespie, including coaching in the office, in the gym and
at the arena the day of the fight. Cole worked with Gillespie
on virtually a daily basis to prepare him for his fight on May
30 in San Francisco, CA at the Awakening, the World Combat Sports
Challenge (WCSC) MMA event, the WCSC California State MMA Middleweight
Title. Over 5,000 people attended this event.
Jesse Gillespie is a former US Marine (who served in Bosnia/Kosovo)
and a current Full-Time Law Enforcement Officer. Jesse has been
fighting for three years and has fought around the world for the
WKA, USMF, IFMA, MTIA and Strikeforce. Jesse was a Silver Medalist
at the 2007 Police Olympics for Boxing. In 2008, Jesse was also
selected as a member of the US National Muay Thai Team, where
he was a Bronze Medalist in the Light Heavyweight Division at
the 2008 World Muay Thai Championships in Busan South Korea. Originally
a "Striker", Jesse has made the transition to MMA in the last
year and most recently fought and won for Strike Force in the
televised event at The Playboy Mansion.
Gillespie commented after winning the WCSC California State MMA
Middleweight Title:
"MMA is a very mental sport, particularly once you step into the
ring. In a contest, the importance of the mental component might
be well over 80-90%. A fighter needs strong reserves of mental
toughness, focus and the will to win.
My MMA coach and I realized I needed to raise the level of my
mental game, so he found the best trainers, coaches and consultants
around to work with me so I could prepare optimally for my televised
fight coming up in three weeks.
For mental training, he called Bill Cole, The Mental Game Coach.
I can't thank Bill enough for all his help.
The mental game training I did with Bill Cole on my mental preparation
was an important part of my overall training program for my win
(second round TKO) at The Awakening, the World Combat Sports Challenge
(WCSC) MMA event in San Francisco. I won the WCSC California State
MMA Middleweight Title in front of a crowd of over 5,000 people.
Bill went to work with me right away. I worked with him almost
daily over that time. He coached me on simple and easy to use
mind techniques I could apply right in the gym, at home, in the
locker room before the fight, on the walk into the arena and even
once my foot hit the canvas.
Just as you need to be dedicated in the gym, in running, in eating
right, and in training all aspects of the MMA game, you need to
cover all the bases by training your mind. A fighter can lose
the contest before they even step foot into the cage or the ring.
They can defeat themselves mentally before the contest even begins.
Ignoring the mental game is old school now for anyone who wants
to excel at the fight game.
Just like you train your standup game, your wrestling, or your
Jiu Jitsu, you need to train your mind. Mental game training is
an area that many fighters talk about as being important, but
few know how to train for, other than working with intensity and
dedication in the gym. Having a strong work ethic will get you
to a certain level of mental toughness and confidence, but the
mental game is far more than that. A well-prepared fighter needs
focus, relaxation under pressure, killer instinct, control over
his thoughts, and control over his emotions. Bill helped me take
all these things to the next level in my game.
Now I have a focused and extremely effective pre-event mental
readiness system that gets my mind, body and spirit ready to fight.
He helped me bring out the mental toughness and focus I needed
to achieve greatness in a pressure situation.
MMA is very much a mental game. Bill is an indispensable part
of my training arsenal. If you want to see what improving your
mental game can do for you as a fighter, I strongly suggest you
give Bill a call. He is a great investment."
Bill Cole, with over 30 years in sports psychology, research and
mental game coaching, has been a mental game coach in over 55
sports. In golf he has coached players who have completed on both
the men's and women's pro tours, in the World Junior Golf Championships
and in the US Open Championships. One of his players finished
in the top 10 on the 2008 Duramed Futures Tour.

"The Mental Game" Television Series Completes Pilot Episode
TMG Entertainment announces the launch of their new television
series program, "The Mental Game", and the completion of
the episode, "The Mental Game" tennis pilot.
"The Mental Game" is a half hour reality-style television
show, hosted by the acclaimed author and mental game coach, Bill
Cole, MS, MA. The show focuses on how accomplished people learn,
perform and achieve greatness and will explore how these people
think, access mental toughness and overcome adversity.
Bill Cole says, "Paradoxically, the mind is the last frontier
of study and control in anything we do. Top achievers and performers
know that mind power is what separates them from the rest of the
field and catapults them into the winner's circle. Especially
in these tough economic times, a program that recognizes obstacles
and provides tools to conquer the challenges and to achieve success
is extremely relevant. A strong mental game, whether on the court,
in the board room or in personal relationships, is a desire of
everyone."
Bill Cole, with over 30 years in sports psychology, research and
mental game coaching that bring a unique brand of skilled education
to the audience, has also authored the acclaimed book The Mental
Game of Tennis which is changing the way millions of tennis fans
approach their game. Bill Cole has coached seven national champions
and was formerly the Sport Psychology Coach for the Israeli Davis
Cup Team from 1999 to 2001. His professional players have had
ATP Tour career wins over Pete Sampras, Marat Safin and Andy Roddick.

News Release: January 11, 2008 - Hollywood
California, RampItUp Productions announces it is now accepting
talent-submissions for their 2008 television pilot.
The company has begun casting and is now accepting non-union
talent submissions for the reality TV pilot, "The Mental Game",
(TMG). The pilot is an innovative program focusing on the mental
game of sports, business and life. The show will focus on how
people learn, perform and achieve greatness.
Bill Cole, MS, MA, the show's creator and host says, "Paradoxically,
the mind is the last frontier of study and control in anything
we do. Top achievers and performers know that mind power is
what separates them from the rest of the field and catapults
them into the winner's circle. A strong mental game is the potent
magic behind overcoming the inevitable mental and emotional
obstacles that everyone faces in their quest for success in
learning, performing and achieving".
This interactive reality television show goes inside the mental
game of virtually everyone in sports, business and life. A large
percentage of casting will focus on athletes involved in their
day-to-day sport experience and will also include coaches, officials,
agents, managers, trainers, team owners, fans and the parents
of these accomplished athletes to discover how they approach
their sport experience from a mental perspective and how it
relates to their everyday life. The show will examine the mental
and emotional highs and lows of all athletic participants at
every level including youth, collegiate, amateur, pro, Olympic
and even the weekend warrior.
If you are an elite athlete, a weekend warrior or you know someone
who has an amazing story to tell about their personal sport
experience and life accomplishments then send storyline / bio
/ reel along with contact information to:
