Building Performance Program
Performance Holdbacks are the common challenges that prevent poker players from consistently performing at their best level, even when they have strong technical skills:
- Inconsistent tournament performance despite solid technical skills
- Difficulty maintaining focus during long sessions
- Struggle to implement an effective study routine
- Emotional reactions affecting your decision-making
- Uncertainty about how to structure your professional development
- Difficulty managing emotions during challenging periods
The Building Performance Program offers a flexible approach to improving your poker game by focusing on one challenge at a time. Instead of requiring you to work on multiple areas simultaneously, you can select the specific aspect of your game that needs the most attention - whether that's managing emotions, developing study habits, or any other key area.
Through a structured process, we identify your most important challenge and understand how it affects your performance. We then develop practical strategies tailored to your playing style and specific needs. This focused approach ensures you can fully address each challenge before moving on to other areas of development, should you choose to do so.
Mental Holdbacks
Mental Holdbacks are the psychological barriers that limit your poker performance, creating a gap between your technical abilities and actual results at the tables. These holdbacks manifest through disruptions in critical mental performance areas:
Mindset
Emotions/Tilt
Stress
Mental Skills
Self-Confidence
Motivation
Routine Holdbacks
Routine Holdbacks are the daily habits and rituals that, when left unoptimized, can hinder your poker performance and overall professional growth. These holdbacks often manifest as inconsistencies or inefficiencies in key areas of your poker routine:
Performance Routines
Study Routine

Strategic Holdbacks
Strategic Holdbacks are systematic barriers that affect professional growth by impacting goal-setting effectiveness, long-term planning, and career decision-making. These holdbacks often manifest as difficulties in crucial areas of your poker career development:
Goal Setting
Year Planning

Alan has improved my performance on and off the table. He worked with me to build a routine at home that works for me in order to make the most of my time and prioritize my most important work. The most valuable part I've found is that he helps me plan each individual trip so I have morning/day/evening routines for days I'm playing which help me stay focused and in a good mindset throughout these tiring stops so I can perform at my best consistently. Alan has been incredibly helpful and is great to work with, I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their performance in poker.
