March 2005: I’m sitting in the bleachers about to walk on stage to coach Phillip Simpson of the US Military Academy at West Point in the NCAA wrestling championship match.I take a quick look at the events media guide for this round of competition and on the top it says “Session 6.” I get chills as I think that every wrestler and coach and our country dreams about this moment.The experience is all I can think about for months as I start to plan ideas on how I could help athletes and coaches reach their full potential through self-awareness.The tools? A training log designed to monitor your growth over time.Audio files that support your confidence through positive self-talkIn-person clinics (nation-wide) that tie all of these tools together! We work with any sports team.
