Harvey A. Dorfman (May 21, 1935 – February 28, 2011) was an American mental skills coach who worked in education and psychology as a teacher, counselor, coach, and consultant. Prior to becoming a mental skills coach, he lived in Manchester, Vermont where he wrote for a local paper, taught English, and coached basketball at Burr and Burton Academy. He earned World Series rings by serving as a mental skills coach for the 1989 Oakland A's and the 1997 Florida Marlins. In 1999, Dorfman became a full-time consultant teaching the skills of sport psychology and staff development for the Scott Boras Corporation, an agency that represents professional baseball players.〔(Alumnus of the Month: Harvey Dorfman: 1957/1961 ), State University of New York at Brockport.〕 A freelance journalist, Dorfman lectured at major universities and for corporations on psychology, self-enhancement, management strategies, and leadership training. He died on February 28, 2011.〔(Pioneering sports psychologist Harvey Dorfman dies at the age of 75 ), Associated Press, March 1, 2011.〕 Acclaimed former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer was a client of Dorfman's, as was former Toronto Blue Jays and Phillies ace Roy Halladay. Moyer dedicated both his 2013 memoir and a planned pitching academy to his former counselor. “I learned so much from that man," Moyer said, "and to be able to use that knowledge for myself, I really believe I can help others go in the same direction." == Books == *''The Mental ABC's of Pitching: A Handbook for Performance Enhancement'', Diamond Communications (2000) ISBN 1-888698-29-2 *''The Mental Keys to Hitting: A Handbook of Strategies for Performance Enhancement'', Diamond Communications (2001) ISBN 1-888698-38-1 *''The Mental Game of Baseball: A Guide to Peak Performance'', with Karl Kuehl, Diamond Communications (1989,2002) ISBN 0-91-2083-32-8 *''Persuasion of My Days: An Anecdotal Memoir: The Early Years'', Hamilton (2005) ISBN 0-7618-2980-6 *''Coaching the Mental Game: Leadership Philosophies and Strategies for Peak Performance in Sports and Everyday Life'', foreword by Carlos Tosca, Taylor Trade (2005) ISBN 1-58979-011-1 *''Copying It Down: An Anecdotal Memoir: Sport as Art'', Hamilton (2009) ISBN 978-0-7618-4755-7 *''Each Branch, Each Needle: An Anecdotal Memoir: The Final Stories'', Hamilton (2010) ISBN 978-0-7618-5074-8 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harvey Dorfman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
