Can I use my medical insurance for NeuroSport assessments, mental-training, or high performance coaching?

While some therapy services are covered by medical insurance depending on your provider, benefits, and deductible, most of Kip’s services are strictly on a self-pay basis. Only therapy services performed in the State of Texas for specific diagnoses are available to be submitted to insurance companies for payment. Please note these diagnoses become a permanent part of medical records and history.

NeuroSport® Assessments, testing, and mental skills training sessions are NOT covered by insurance. High Performance Coaching is NOT covered by insurance.

Please contact Susan Gibson at SusanG@medcarebusinesssolutions.com to find out about your insurance policy.

Golf was the first sport I played at 3 years old as I grew up with a father who played collegiate golf for Texas Tech University. The Braincode/NeuroSport® science I use today was pioneered by my father who trained The Ohio State University men’s and women’s golf teams.
Golf is a primary focus as a LV 1 Certified Mental Golf Type Coach®; thus, I have considerable experience collaborating with golfers and their coaches at all levels including high school, college, and the professional levels.

And, one interesting caveat, I attended Upper Arlington High School, home of the goat of golf, Jack Nicklaus. I was a member of the golf pep club (yes, we had a golf pep club if you can imagine that!) I supported my brother who was a member of the golf team, and his accomplishments grace our high school’s ‘hall of state champions.’ My brother continued his career and ultimately became a PGA Home Pro.

I have worked with athletes and/or coaches from the following organizations’:

Dallas Figure Skating Club
Dallas Stars Elite Hockey Club
McKinney North Stars Hockey Club

Arguably, the most talked about sports for mental skills training are baseball and softball. Nearly every athlete in the sport hits a period of struggle or feels stuck. Yes, I have assisted players from grade school to the professional level including several players in the MLB.

Baseball and softball are often year-round sports, thus any time of year is a suitable time to begin mental skills training.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ is the most widely used psychological instrument in the world based on human behavior theory developed by C.G. Jung. The instrument has been around for decades and is used by many Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Government.

While someone’s ‘personality’ is a reflection of experiences, cultural upbringing, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social characteristics, there exists an innate systemic function of the brain. In essence, human behavior is not random but predictable and classifiable. These differences in behavior are the result of in-born brain processes that emerge early in life.

With over 75 years of research and development, the current MBTI™ is the most reliable and valid method for determining preferences and understanding normal differences in people. In addition, researcher, and mental performance pioneer Jonathan Niednagel discovered through combining the in-born brain processes with neuroscientific, genetic, and biomechanical research, each of the sixteen MBTI® Types, or what he called a Brain Type® is directly linked to specific motor and spatial skills.

Great questions! Kip finds the MBTI™ provides a simple and easy way to increase self-awareness about innate mental strengths and challenge areas based on goals and obstacles towards achievement. With this framework in place, she then provides a more clear road map towards coaching and developing weak areas without detracting from strengths. This insight also provides the keys to customize stress awareness tactics to keep athletes out of stress and in their strengths during competitive performance.

Yes, people can change! Given what we have learned about the brain through neuroscience, brain and gut health, Kip and experts in her field know that YES people can change. That said, change requires intention and a willingness to learn and transform to achieve. And, without that desire, change is nearly impossible.

No. Our main office is centrally located in Frisco, TX; however, Kip works with athletes and people all over the country. She conducts interviews and on-going mental training in-person, by phone, email, video/web-type conferencing methods.

It is preferable to be face-to-face with Kip in her office or at an on-site location. Kip is available to travel to an athlete’s or an organization’s location for assessment and training services. Please inquire about those services.

When an athlete is 18 years old or younger, it is required that one parent accompany the athlete at the time of intake and at the time of the results session. Kip believes parents are a part of an athletes’ success team’ and may need ‘training’ too for their role in helping an athlete reach consistent high performance.

Kip often makes coaching recommendations for parents, and it is vital they are on board. Kip often collaborates with an athlete’s coach and/or trainer to develop physical workouts or drills to enhance certain mental skills. And, as both Kip and the Coach are members of an athlete’s ‘success team,’ Kip aims to collaborate with the Coach. Just like one style of parenting doesn’t work with every kid, one style of coaching does not work on every athlete. Kip can provide clear information on best motivation, teaching, and feedback techniques to assist the Coach with the athlete.

When an athlete is older than 18-years-old and his or her competitive or training status is dependent upon assessment, mental-skills training, or clinical treatment, those third parties may have an active role in the process. Hence, the athlete will be required to sign a release of information document naming each third-party (such as the team personnel, an agent, a parent, a trainer, and/or the like) to allow access to coaching and treatment information.
