About
I teach the nature of Performance Excellence. I focus on the Mental Fundamentals we all need to excel in any sport to go along with 1) Your physical fitness 2) Sharpening your skill level for your particular sport and 3) Being mentally tough.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
1) Determine their aspitations
2) Determine their physical fitness level, their skills proficiency
3) Their Mental Toughness
I do this through a questionnaire called a Sports Emotinal Prfile that determines their levels in seven different categories
* Desire * Assertiveness * Sensitivity
* Tension Control * Confidence * Sel-Discipline
* Personal Accountability
This allows me and the client to focus right away on what needs to be addressed for achieving and retaining Performance Excellence.
