"With three competitive kids of my own, I now realize how important mental strength coaching could have been to me when I was a young athlete. I gave up on some opportunities because I didn't see the potential in myself. Helping my kids push through their roadblocks--physical, emotional, and mental--builds their confidence not only in sports but for life!“
Janis D.
Former Collegiate Volleyball Player & Mom of Three Competitive Teens
"The mental side of sports wasn' t introduced to me until the peak of my athletic career as a collegiate gymnast but it instantly provided me with a fresh perspective on the sport. I started to visualize perfect routines, learned how to recover from errors, and started talking to myself in ways that let me set and achieve higher goals. I believe the value of guided mental sport is priceless!"

Former Collegiate Gymnast, University of Iowa
