Building Healthy Teams and Organizations! Mental Fitness rests on the philosophy that we can learn, practice and develop a set of skills that result in health as well as personal and professional success. Learn these skills now—before things go wrong. This is similar to construction practices. It is so much more economical to build something strong and lasting than it is to repair or reconstruct something that is falling apart. Gain these skills and apply to your business and leadership. Dr. Lefever developed the Mental Fitness program used by the military, including Nave SEALs, to develop leaders and enhance the decision-making skills of those who must perform at their very best under challenging circumstances.

“After I retired from the NFL, I have run the gamut from trauma to triumph. In the last 18 years, my efforts have focused extensively on promoting and educating about mental health. I have spoken to hundreds if not thousands of groups—athletes, veterans, schools, prisons, businesses, and active duty military leaders. I use Dr. Lefever’s material—his articles, his books, his ideas and his Mental Fitness system—and nothing else. His system is comprehensive, easy to understand, and profound. Audiences are transfixed and transformed. What Dr. Lefever has to offer is indispensable for anyone who wants to succeed—professionally and personally.” – Eric Hipple, former Detroit Lion Quarterback and 2019 Finalist for “NFL Salute to Service Award”
