Athletes’ Testimonials

  • “I had the pleasure of working with my coach during my transition out of sports, and he provided invaluable guidance and support as I navigated the challenges of this time. He helped me see my own strengths and capabilities, and he gave me the confidence and courage to embark on a new chapter in my life.”

    Shir Kellner

  • “For the first time in my athletic career, I looked at myself as a whole person, beyond the result sheet, beyond the training plan. It ultimately helped me achieve some personal bests in the sport realm.”

    Scott Lacy

  • "I loved how our coach was able to incorporate techniques such as meditation, body awareness, and self-reflection into the program. Also, it's not easy to be vulnerable, but the way in which the program had us interact with each other made me feel safe and able to share my thoughts in a space free of judgment."

    Lindsey Beumer

  • “I had a mentor who was a great guy and someone to talk to and learn from. On one level, it forces you to look at that thing which is what’s going to happen after sport rather than having your head in the sand.”

    Nic Stirzaker

  • “I enjoyed working with my coach because he challenged me to think outside the box. He guided me through any questions I had in career, business and school. He consistently made sure I was focused and didn’t lose sight of my goals.”

    Juan Alarcon, former professional boxer
