“More than 50% of my performance comes down to winning the battle with my negative voice.”
“My physical abilities can get me in contention in tournaments but the only way to win is by being 100% locked in on winning the battle with my negative voice.”
30 minutes by phone. We talk about where you are, where you want to go, and whether coaching is the right fit.
We start by going through 9 key areas of your life: your family and schedule, your sport or career background, your goals, your training, sleep, hydration, nutrition, medical history, and how you manage stress.
30 minutes by phone, same day and time every week, unless your schedule requires more flexibility. Every call gives you 2 or 3 new tools and strategies to control your mindset, optimize your habits, and elevate your discipline.
You score yourself each week on our 40 Peak Performance Habits: 16 Mindset, 6 Exercise, 6 Nutrition, 6 Sleep, and 6 Healthy Longevity. It takes about 4 minutes on your phone, and we go over your score on our call so you stay accountable. We also track scores like your Self-Belief Score over time, so you can see your progress in numbers.
Every call gives you 2 or 3 new tools you can use that week. Here are four examples.
Most people think they're competing against the other team or the other company. Your biggest competitors are your negative voice, your prior self (are you better than you were last week, last month, last year?), and your cell phone. We score how you're doing against each one and build a plan to beat all three.
Your brain is an energy hog. It takes up 2% of your body mass but uses 25% of your energy, and under high stress that goes up to 30% to 40%. You would never run a hard practice on game day, so why put your mind through one? We build "mind walls" before competition and big days, like deciding in advance whose texts you'll read in the hours before a game, so you start mentally light and stay sharp when it counts.
Confidence is an indication of preparation. Pressure is an indication of a lack of preparation. World-class preparation is as much about what you stop doing as what you start doing. In fact, your success is tied more to what you stop doing (especially in your mind) than to what you start doing.
Two people can spend the same 8 hours in bed and get very different amounts of real sleep. If your sleep efficiency goes from 80% to 95%, you get about 9 more minutes of actual sleep for every hour in bed. Over a full night, that's more than an extra hour. We track it with a WHOOP or an Oura Ring and build the habits that move the number.
Both of our coaches use the same system, the same way, and to the same standard.

We'll figure out which program is the right fit on your free call.
It depends on which program is the right fit for you (6 or 12 months). We'll go over it on your free call.
Most people aren't being pushed to reach for world-class. The more successful you get, the less feedback you get from coaches, bosses, and teammates. That's why coaching tends to have the biggest impact on people who are already at a high level.
By phone, 30 minutes, on the same day and time each week. They work wherever you are, in season or on the road.
