REBECCA JAEGER
THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS COACH
Mental Toughness coach Rebecca Jaeger built a new life after hers had spiralled out of control due to a back injury in 1996. Rebecca was only 27 years old with huge dreams!
The former 3 time Australian Softball Champion and 5 x NRL Cheerleader never expected her life would be stuck on survival after instructing fitness in Japan. Rebecca was on her way to live in America but her journey was over and Rebecca flew back to Sydney to face the injury. Rebecca was an ambitious teen & young adult - this was not part of her plan.
Today, 26 years on - Rebecca now delivers Mental Toughness programs online. After the attempts on her own life, Rebecca knows what you need to create a new life. Rebecca has been on a journey of self-discovery which has evolved to understanding behaviour on a deeper level. Rebecca is also writing 26 children's books to guide children and their parents to learn the coping mechanisms needed to build Emotional Intelligence for Mental Toughness.
From 2009 to 2012 Rebecca studied for a Degree in Sports & Performance. Her 400 hours prac was on the track studying V8 Ute drivers Kim Jane, Jack Elsegood, Grant Thompson and George Miedecke. Rebecca also had the opportunity to study David Brabham.
The opportunity with David Brabham and George motivated her to create a specialised program for drivers who need the coping mechanisms on track.
Rebecca has re -written a performance program for all sportsmen and women. Rebecca guides all with the coping mechanisms to build Emotional Intelligence for Mental Toughness.
Rebecca has had one back operation in 2005 and - in 2020 had 2 discs removed from her neck. Thirty six days later - Rebecca had a 2 level lower back reconstruction which was very painful. Now walking and sitting again after years of being bedridden. Rebecca is now ready to hold her workshops to help with performance anxiety and all fear based related behaviour.

Prior to my experiences working with Rebecca, I always had trouble maximising my potential over a race weekend. Among other things, I had difficulty maintaining focus and composure at the races, which too often led to inconsistent performance on the track.
Through Frame Of Mind coaching and the techniques that I learned, my performance has improved both on and off the track. In the first weekend that I started the program, I scored my first round victory and have since continued to enjoy success in racing here in the United States.
In my opinion, in motorsport mental fitness and composure is as important as physical preparation. I'm lucky enough to say that I can thank Rebecca Jaeger and Frame Of Mind for helping me to unlock and maximise my mind - and it's helped me win races!
