Performance Media® located
in Phoenix, Arizona, was started in 2000. Performance
Media develops and sells print and multi-media products
on Peak Performance. The products include books, videos,
CD-ROMs and online programs on enhancing performance and
achieving excellence.
The two core products are two multi-media training programs,
Visualization Exercises for Mental Preparation and Stress
Control. These programs are available in CD format and
through password protected Internet access. The web-based
training products are sold to individuals, as well as
to groups, organizations, teams, or schools.
Marie Dalloway is the Chief Executive Officer of Performance
Media®. There are books and training manuals, multi-media
products across the mediums of videos, CD-ROMs and online
courses, an online merchandising business, and two websites,
the main Performance Media® website, performance-media.com,
and a second website, stress-vacation.com.
The products provide coaches, athletes and others with
training methods and practices on topics such as visualization,
concentration, and stress control. The training products
assist individuals in maximizing their performance. In sports, they
help runners run faster, golfers lower their score, and
tennis players play better tennis. In the workplace, they help people become
healthier, happier and more productive.
The six core content areas of Performance Media® include
relaxation, goal setting, visualization, concentration,
directing beliefs toward success, and stress control.
The ventures of Performance Media® are separated into
three segments: Publishing, Multi-Media Products (including
computer-based training and web-based training products),
and Internet Commerce.

presents customers with additional ideas and information.

on peak performance skills. When performance-media.com
debuted, Performance Media® began selling the products
online, the books in print and in ebook format, the videos,
CD-ROMS, and online courses.
In May 2003, Performance Media launched a second website,
www.stress-vacation.com. This website focuses on stress
management and relaxation techniques.
