How Does the Valverde System Work?

Thank you for your interest in the Valverde System. The System is characterized by great flexibility and tailored to players of all levels and special needs. For instance, we understand that regardless of your commitment to achieving tennis excellence, you find yourself sometimes without enough time to be totally prepared mentally. The new and improved Valverde System is organized to cover all the different critical times when you need to be focusing on improving your mental toughness: during practices, three days before and during the tournaments. It is much easier to use because it will give you different alternatives depending on your personal needs. It is also color coordinated for easy identification

Below please find a description of how the system works. We can send it via regular mail or FedEx next day. You order the system by calling this number: 785-979-7490 and ask for Iva Valverde.

This is the way the Valverde System works:

* Players acquire the Valverde System and immediately fill out a questionnaire. This is a diagnostic tool that allows me to analyze 12 aspects of their mental skills: desire, eating habits, perception of their own potential, dedication, determination, goal setting, courage, concentration, confidence, winning attitude, pride and perspective. I send them their results with information that allows them to improve their mental toughness. For instance: if a player has difficulties with confidence or concentration, it will show in the analysis of his/her profile. The results will explain what confidence or concentration is and the steps a player needs to take to improve it.

* Players immediately begin to listen to one of the 25 CD tracks in conjunction with the Light and Sound System. These tracks contain information about the building blocks to success in tennis and life. The Light and Sound System helps players to get into a deep state of mind called Theta. In this state of mind, the information is easily absorbed by our subconscious mind. This is very important because our subconscious mind controls up to 90% of our behavior and performance.

* Players need to listen to CD tracks, one at a time, for 21 consecutive days. The reason for this repetition is simple: it takes 21 days for our mind to create a habit. Six of the other 25 CD tracks teach the players a powerful mental tool that allows players to increase their concentration skills and to control mind processes and automatic physiological responses such as their heart beat and pulse rate.

* In the mean time, players follow the instructions found in the program and read the two books: From Flooding to Zoning and The Blue Print to Success, and they also do mental exercises found in them. These exercises are designed to increase the players' awareness of their mental processes and their influence on the performance. These exercises focus on confidence and concentration building blocks and on how to deal with psychological challenges on and off the tennis court, for instance, internal or external distractions, intimidation, nervousness, performance anxiety, stress, etc. Upon completion of the mental exercises, they need to email them to me for review and feedback (one at a time).

* During this process, players, coaches and parents can call or email me anytime to share information about progress, specific challenges that they may be facing, or any other issues that may be important for the players' mental toughness development. In addition, I attend about 18 junior tournaments per year where I do personal consultations with players, coaches and parents. These services are included in my one-time fee for those who are following the Valverde System.

* There are three available programs that are different in only three things. First, the length of time I monitor a player's progress (three months, six months or 12 months). Second, for those who acquired the 12 months program, I produce a personalized CD based on the work and information generated in the assignments done by the player. Third, only those who acquire the One-year program receive the Light and Sound System.

In summary, the complete program contains the following:

1. Mental Toughness Profile Analysis.
2. Light and Sound System (only for One year program)
3. Two Books.
4. Six CDs (25 tracks)
5. Personalized CD (please see testimony below)
6. Phone and Email consultations for 3, 6 or 12 months. This includes the review of the books assignments.

Below please find two testimonies.

Dr. Valverde,

I know Brittany wrote you last week and told you she had won her first tournament ever. That was a local tournament with a very strong draw here in SE Michigan (Detroit-Ann Arbor area). Of course, we were all very pleased.

This past weekend I took her down to Cincinnati for a weighted Midwest tournament, the Tommy Fontova. It had a considerably larger draw, more points at stake, etc. Well, she had 6 matches in 48 hours, and won all of them, winning that tournament. She beat 4 seeded players to accomplish it. (Of course, she has realized that seeding doesn't mean a whole lot.) That is 10 straight matches won, also a first for her.

So with the 2 weekends, her Midwest ranking in 16s (she must age up to 16s in June) will have jumped by almost 200 spots, once they get this recorded. This weekend she will play in Wisconsin at a Level 5 national, the first national level tourn. since starting your program. (She didn't get into the Level 2 Feb. Nationals, but I predict she will get into the May ones.) She is more confident than I've ever seen her. I could not have believed that 6 weeks on your program could have had so much impact. Thank you for how you've helped her. Meeting you has helped her maximize her potential immensely.

Jorge!

I love my personal CD so much. It is the coolest thing ever and you personalized it even more with @ustin on the cover. Thank you so much for taking the time to make me my personal CD. Also, thank you so much for adding more tracks to it. It really is the coolest thing ever. I have been listening to it a lot. Jorge thank you so much.
