Sports Psychology Program

“Anyone can concentrate for 1 lap; A few can do it for 2-3 laps, 
But only the elite can concentrate for an entire race.”
-Mario Andretti

Hello, my name is Steven Keeler, MS, MFT. Gary Sutton and the team at Sutton Stock Car will increase your race driving skills. My role is to teach you the skills to drive with your most important asset - your mind. 

Sports psychology is critical to creating winners.

“The one thing over which you have absolute control
is your own thoughts. It is this that puts you in a position
to control your own destiny.”
-Paul G. Thomas

Why work with a Sports Psychologist? 
Isn’t that for the weak and nut jobs? What you believe is what you create. Science has proven it in the form of Quantum Physics. What is a belief? A belief is simply thoughts practiced over and over. Therefore, what you practice thinking is what you literally bring into reality. Are you dissatisfied with your performance at the race track? The answers can be found by looking inside. This is why psychology is so important to success in racing and in life.

The inside must first match what you want to happen on the outside.

Really it comes down to your philosophy. 
Do you want to play your life safe
and be good, or do you want to take a chance 
and be great?
-Jimmy Johnson/Steven Keeler

Sutton Stock Car Racing Schools’ confidential and comprehensive program is for individuals who are dedicated and committed to improving their racing performances and lives.

The goals of this part of the program include:

It’s important for you to know that your participation in the program is kept confidential.
Many of our drivers prefer to keep their driver development to themselves and we honor that.
We realize that there are many stigmas (mostly not true) attached to working with mental strategists, coaches and therapists.
This is beginning to change as shown by Carl Edwards’ recent comments (9/30/07 NASCAR on ABC) regarding how valuable his coach has been in helping him deal with adversity in this years’ Busch and Cup series.

Why am I qualified to work with you as a Sports Psychologist? From my brief bio in the Coaches section of the website, I am a licensed Psychotherapist, and have been practicing for over 15 years. 

Being a licensed professional and also a championship winning stock car driver (2006), makes our program unique.At Sutton Stock Car we combine knowledge and experience to get results!
Being a licensed therapist requires much more training when compared to mere coaching. I am required to have advanced degrees (MS), 3000 supervised hours prior to attempting to be licensed, and state board approval, where coaching does not.
I bring a ton of experience and knowledge to the table in working with you. I have helped literally 100’s of people all around the world become more successful in their lives and dreams. Working in the racing field blends my 2 most powerful passions - racing and helping people achieve their dreams.
It’s important that you know you are entitled to a free, no obligation ½ hour consultation with me! Ask any questions you have and get a feel for what you can expect. Then make a more informed choice about your commitment to the program and the success you want!
I look forward to speaking with you,
