Positive Feedback as a Sports Psychology Coach
Flow in Sports has given me the tools I need to be on top of my game. I enjoyed learning new skills and activities to help me enhance my performance. I found it not only beneficial towards my sport goals but it has also helped me develop a more positive attitude in every area of my life.

Many thanks to Lior Doron and Flow in Sports, for his seminar on coping skills to our officiating staff. Not only did Lior provide a newfound understanding concerning the role and importance of mental skills in officiating, his seminar has played a large part in the increased effectiveness of my staff.

Thank you again for your help this year. You are probably asking your self in what you helped me....
Well, There was one week were I was angry about some decision the coach made and things he said to me. I don't remember ever being as mad and frustrated I even felt like quitting.
Then I went to your meetings and you said something that I have been repeating to all the guys on the team since " Focus on what you can control". Six simple words made me happy and increased my joy in football.
Thank you for this.
Elie El-Tawil # 62 , Offensive Line; Concordia Stingers 2001 Season
My season has started out great, the work we did and the work I did on my own really have me off to a good start. I tied my best round of my career so far and my handicap has gone from 5 to 2, 60% improvement. I am leading the Sunday morning group year long 'competition' by quite a margin to date, and many I have played at the club for years say they clearly notice a change in my game.

I tried the sports psychology interview and was amazed at what I learned. I had no idea the field of learned optimism was so important. This allowed me to immediately improve my performance. I would tell anyone that is thinking of improving their sports performance to give this a try. It is a great starting point.

The sports psychology interview allowed me to learn more about my strengths and weakness. I also like the follow up hours that strengthen my weaker skills. I have devoted all the time on mental imagery and now have clearer images and incorporated other senses in which I did not earlier. Thanks for your help.

Positive Feedback as a Tennis Instructor
My friend and I have been taking semi-private tennis lessons with Lior for the past two years. We were beginners when we started and Lior efficiently taught us all the basics of the game upon which we continue to build. His mental skills tips have been especially helpful. I thank Lior for teaching us this sport that I plan to play for years to come.
Now, on to those Williams sisters :)
Nina Silverstone; Recreational Tennis Player
After several years of not playing tennis, I decided to pick up a racket again. I was lucky to have Lior as my first instructor. His patience and skills and have helped me strengthen my ground strokes, gain awareness of my footwork and has increased my speed. I would also like to mention that my serve has become more consistent. My friends are constantly commenting on my continued improvement. After almost 4 years of working with Lior, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve a specific aspect or to someone who may want to improve one's overall tennis game.
Robyn Croll, Recreational Tennis Player
My daughter niece and nephew have simply loved participating in junior clinics with Lior Doron for the past 3 months. The classes were very well organized with a variety of activities structured to both meet the needs and challenge the skills of participants. I was impressed with the professional level of training they received as well as their progress. Their motivation led them to also take part in some private, semi-private and group lessons with Lior but most of all, they had a lot of fun!

Group Lesson at the Cote Saint Luc Tennis Club
I loved playing tennis in Lior's classes because he was very funny and making us all laugh. He is also the best tennis teacher I ever had. I made new friends and Lior showed us how to play like the grown-ups do on TV with counting points and shaking hands. My favorite is private lessons with Lior because I get to hit the most balls ever and become the best player (super good) in the same hour.

Je viens de finir mon training TNT (Tennis in No Time) qui était offert au sporting club du sanctuaire. Ce fût une expérience incroyable! Premièrement l'organisation de se cours a été impeccable du début à la fin. Les membres inscrits ont certes contribué au succès du cours, mais ce qui a fait la grande différence au niveau de la qualité du cours c'est le coach Lior Doron.... Meilleur Coach qu'on aurait pu avoir! Premièrement Lior possède une excellente connaissance du tennis, ce qui est en soit un atout important. Deuxièmement c'est un excellent communicateur (Anglais et Français). Il sait comment adapter ces explications et sont approche en fonction des différentes personnalités des élèves et tous ça avec une bonne dose d'humour. Personnellement je me suis vraiment bien amusé, j'ai appris beaucoup au niveau du tennis et je recommencerais l'expérience anytime! Honnêtement if you are really serious about tennis ask for coach Doron, nothing else :)!
J'ai eu la chance de rencontrer coach Doron dans la
session Tennis in No Time offert par le Sanctuaire. J'ai énormément
apprécié ce cours et coach Doron a contribué abondamment
à l'excellence de ce cour. En plus de posséder très
bien la technique du Tennis, Lior a des méthodes
d'apprentissage variées qui lui permet de s'adapter à
différente personne de différent niveau. Il m'a permit
d'apprendre vite en si peu de temps en me montrant des astuces divers
que j'appliquerais pour toujours. Coach Doron m'a aussi appris et m'a
fait prendre conscience de l'importance de toujours et sans exception
penser positivement et de croire en mes capacités. Son mélange
de sérieux, d'humour, d'ouverture d'esprit et bien sure de compétences
classe coach Doron parmi les meilleurs coachs. Suite à mon expérience
avec lui je peux affirmer qu'il m'a appris en si peu de temps de bien
jouer au Tennis et surtout il m'a donné le goût de continuer.
C'est un grand motivateur et un coach talentueux à plusieurs
niveaux. Merci de rendre l'apprentissage si amusant et intéressant.
On se reverra certainement une autre fois...!

Lior is the best tennis instructor in Montreal. He is so generous with the kids and involves himself on and off the courts. I see him driving kids back and forth and (over) extending himself to make the kids happy. I know with six kids on the courts, they all love him. All they want to do is to play tennis with Lior. Thanks so much and I am recommending you to all my friends.
Sarah - A very happy parent in Montreal
I buy my shoes, shorts, tops, tennis balls and get
my racquets strung my Maher. Aside from being a very nice fellow, his
prices are reasonable (currently selling Penn soft court balls with
a special until spring of $90 for 24 tins), and he provides door to
door service. I leave my racquet in my garage, he picks it up and two
days later it's back in the garage with a phone call or email message
alerting me. His selection of strings is quite good and each he incorporates
the best his suppliers have to offer.
With the addition of Lior Doron as Tennis Camp Director he and Maher
have put together an excellent camp program. A feature that Lior added
last year that I really liked was his effort in finding kids of similar
levels in the camp so that they could develop outside of camp (either
in weekly sessions or as tennis partners unrelated to lessons).

Positive Feedback as a Teacher and Tutor
I have known Lior since 2002. When I told him that my daughter was having difficulty in math he suggested that we set-up some tutoring sessions. It was the end of the year and she needed a strong mark in order to pass the course. After an intense two week tutoring program, I am pleased to say that Lior got the job done. Lior is patient, understanding and professional. Thank you for all your help. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any parent who wants their child to do better in school.

I was not happy with my son's school grades. I knew he could do better but was not sure how I could help. I tried a flow in sports membership with only 60 minutes. After my son immediately clicked with Coach Lior Doron, I am proud to say that I have bought many more times and enjoy the 9 for the price of 10 package. He has instilled confidence and improved my son's self esteem. With flow in sports, my son has been more disciplined and I know that they work together 3-4 times a week. Coach Lior Doron works on a variety of subjects to help him with his homework and I found it useful that he could also help my son play better in the sports that he plays. Although I was skeptical of the results online tutoring or consulting could do, I was pleased to see the results. I suggest that you get it a try!
Melanie Rodriguez; Happy Mother in Montreal
I enjoyed being taught by Mr. Doron because he takes the time to help his students. He had fun with his students and most of all he cared about his students. Mr Doron has a great sense of humor which made me focus a lot more because I knew a funny joke would come up and i didn't quite want to miss it. At the same time, it helped me focus on math concepts. Mr Doron also motivated me because when I did bad on a test he encouraged me and made me see the importance of school. After that, I started caring a lot more about math and all my classes. If you have a chance to possibly get Mr Doron as a teacher you should because your child will enjoy his time and more importantly his support.
Nikonas Manolopoulos student at Westwood 2006
Lior Doron has been tutoring my son ever since his 6th year (right before high school). In retrospect, his academic life was a mess. He was not doing his homework and totally uninvolved in school. Lior has not only improved his motivation and marks but also my son now has a real interest in going beyond what teachers ask of him. Lior found a way to organize my son's binder, notes and life for that matter. Lior acts a tutor and sometimes more importantly as a mentor. Thank you. I recommend Lior to any parent in Montreal who wants his son or daughter to improve in school and gain a better sense of meaning in their lives.
Mrs. Cohen - Very Satisfied Parent in Montreal
Our daughter has often struggled in math. As parents it was difficult for us to see her deal with her frustration. We then decided to seek Lior's help and hired him as her personal tutor. Lior spent the better part of the year working with our daughter with math problems but also with her organizational skills, exam preparation skills often going above and beyond. Lior's work and extra efforts have helped our daughter raise her overall mark and more importantly instilled in her a strong sense of self confidence. Thank you Lior!

I learned more in Mr. Doron's math class this summer in three weeks than all year with my regular math teacher. Mr. Doron - your rock!!!
Student taking summer school math in 2005
Mr. Doron summer class for grade 8 was the best. We learned a lot and we had a lot of fun. Right G nibs? Or, the telescope or sunshine :). Mr. D made learning fun. For the first time, I actually understand rotations, translations and all that stuff. I was working so hard that my parents couldn't believe it. Thank you Mr. Doron for caring so much about your students.

Mr. Doron,
I wanted to thank you so much for making me understand in three weeks everything I didn't understand all year. It was a pleasure having you as a teacher and for once in my life I actually liked going to school. Thank you for being a great teacher and not making those math class's boring :)
Student taking summer school math in 2005
I am a parent in Montreal and had Lior Doron as a tutor for my son for math 116 . When I first met with Lior, my son was receiving a 40% in math for term 1 (how embarrassing is that?). Tutoring sessions were twice a week at first and then only once a week. By the second term, my son's grades went up to 80%!. The following year, the same thing happened except his mark for the 1st term was 50%. Again, Lior Doron came to our rescue and his marks are up again. This year Lior is tutoring my son from the beginning of the year to avoid all these headaches. Every so often, my son takes online tutoring in addition to the personal tutoring. It's also worth mentioning that I've received several discounts by referring other of my son's classmates to receive tutoring lessons. I have a happy son who is doing well in math and in school and I am happy. Thank you Lior!
Jordan Paquette - Parent of Student from the Sir Wilfred Laurier School Board
My son was doing poorly in math 116. We first approached Lior Doron for person tutoring. After a few tutoring sessions, his marks improved dramatically. We received some discounts for referring other classmates and eventually they all began taking lessons on the weekend together. They have done math 216, 314 and now thanks in part to the tutoring sessions of Lior Doron are in advanced math 436. I recommend Lior to any Montreal parent who wants their child to improve in school and in life.
Suzanne Cohen - Parent of Student in the Lester B. Pearson School Board
I am 14 years old. I like working with Mr. Doron because he makes learning fun and easy. I like seeing the work on the computer and so I understand what I need to do to get the problems in math right. I use it with 3 other of my classmates. While learning math we've had a couple of laughs at the same time. Mr. D. has a great sense of humor and explains well.
John from New York
I am 12 years old and was having lots of trouble in math. After taking a lesson with my tutor, I started to actually understand what was going on in class. I took a few more and my grades just kept on going up. I am now understanding other classes and love showing off (lol) my report card to my parents.
Amanda (Colorado)
I love how Lior makes learning fun and easy. I am actually liking math for the 1st time. Thanks for helping me.
