For the past thirty years, Jeff Anderson has been working as a player and a coach to improve his abilities and the abilities of those around him. He was a four-time All-Conference baseball player at the University of Nebraska, followed by three years with the Chicago White Sox Organization. He has coached baseball at the collegiate and high school levels, bringing a professional perspective to the game to enhance his athletes' performances. Jeff had a promising Major League career cut short by elbow and shoulder injuries, forcing him to retire and retool his skills. Once his playing career was finished, he focused his attention on coaching and learning the mental side of performance. The skills Jeff teaches have helped many of his students to find their competitive edge. After Jeff gave up his baseball playing career, he took up golf as a hobby until the thrill of competing again caught his interest. After struggling to learn the game in the early years, something finally clicked. He discovered the mental approach to golf was similar to pitching in baseball, and that once a skill is learned physically, it can be enhanced mentally. This realization, and a little luck, has since produced eight club championships as an amateur player as well as numerous other tournament wins, and a handicap index near zero. In a seven-year span as a high school golf coach, his teams made five state championship appearances, including a state championship victory, a state runner-up, two district championships, two district runner-ups, and an SIC tournament win. This run convinced Jeff that preparing to perform well is as much about how you think as it is about how you perform physically. Jeff's golf program produced numerous college players and two professional players. As a baseball coach, he has seen many of his players play at the college level for NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA programs. Jeff has helped both male and female athletes achieve their dreams in competition and is fluent in many sports. After years of struggling to find the right mix between the mental game and the physical game, Jeff ventured out and gained his Master's Degree in Sport Psychology. A whole new world opened up as many of the things he had been learning on his own were now verified through research. Thirty years of searching as a player and coach has been an adventure, but Jeff is certain the adventure is just beginning.

""I personally had experience with Jeff in working with my mental game. He was able to encourage my growth as a player and create an optimistic and clear understanding of how to strategize and practice and play the game well. Coach Anderson was able to help me think my way around the golf course. He emphasized routines and believing in my skills. I became a much smarter and better player throughout my high school golf career, which lead me to a Division I golf scholarship.""
Kali Quick, PGA, Head Golf Professional
"" Jeff Anderson and Peak Athletic Consulting have taken my game to the next level."" Tyler Aldridge, PGA Tour Player
 ""Jeff Anderson has helped so much with the mental side of golf. His easy going style makes understanding the mental side so easy. He has taken my golf handicap from a ten to a four in a year. I would highly recommend him if you're serious about improving in your sport.""
 Bob Kindred, Two Time National Champion (International Bowhunter Organization) Fifteen Time State Champion (National Field Archery Association)
""Coach Anderson has worked with me for years on the mental side of the game of baseball and it has shown drastically on the playing field. He is so easy to relate to because he has played the game and coached at a high level for over 25 years. He has experienced almost every situation imaginable through his playing and coaching career and has the ability to bring up those situations and turn them into learning experiences. His intelligence on how to handle in-game situations with simple tasks that make you slow everything down and focus more has helped me more than any physical drill or workout has."" Toby - University of Minnesota Baseball Player

""The message is clear and the given material will assist those seeking a developmental direction that will be safe and accurate.""
Mark Haley, Arizona Diamondback
