Coaches Matter


We know coaches matter. 

Listen to this story I have told 100’s of times because it shows just how much a coach can impact a life.

You know you have a great responsibility to shape the lives of your athletes and eventually the athletes they will coach one day.

"You can be a great player with great stats, but in order to win it, you have to have character as well."

Conversations Matter

Conversations create so many things - clarity, understanding, change, and culture. 

The best coaches use it to create connection, trust, and awareness.  These in turn construct confidence, change and culture. 

They are an important part of everyone’s lives and its power is simple.  Not Easy.

Purposeful ones transform lives and have the power to inspire action, change perspectives, find opportunities and create hope.  

We’ve been having important conversations with athletes, teams, coaches, and parents for over 25 years. 

Our hope is that the conversations you have with your team will be the start of more conversations that impact your team in a positive way. 

They may not always be comfortable, may sometimes be vulnerable, but almost always will be powerful.

Conversation Killers

The Mental Toughness Myths and Traps

Consistency is one of the keys to confidence.  Emotions in sports run high.

 

The Cold War Model of Mental Toughness is built on the debunked belief that you cannot change your brain.

 

This mental filter created myths and traps that impact the way we think about ourselves, others, and our performance.

The personalized approach they took made all the difference. Each session felt like a tailored roadmap to success. Their unwavering support and encouragement empowered me to overcome obstacles I never thought possible. I've not only achieved my career aspirations but have also grown as an individual, cultivating healthier relationships and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

Challenging The Myths and Traps


Challenging the myths and traps requires purposeful and intentional conversations that challenge them. 

These myths are pervasive and damaging and show up in everything from sports, relationships, mental health and social media. 

They don't work over the long term and kill the important conversations needed to build great human beings.

"We need to change the way we approach this...
I had to commit to changing and doing something different"

Mental Fitness

Game Changing Conversations in Your Program

Mental Fitness is a different approach to the tension between your thinking brain and feeling brain. Each of us is blessed with an amazingly imperfect brain. 

When your amazing brain is in control you can do amazing things but they are still imperfect.  When an athletes pain brain takes over it gloominizes, doominizes and brutalizes us.

"How do I know this?"
