My son made a lot of progress. His focus has sharpened, and it has translated to his play on the field. His confidence continues to grow as he takes on defenders. There is definitely a tangible difference between how he used to play and how he plays now, and I believe it due in large part to your mental training program.”

“At the start of the year my 10 year old was selected in a youth development program for soccer in Australia. Occasionally, he would show signs of frustration that would end with him dissolving into tears and subsequently checking out of the game wanting to quit. I found your ‘Composed Athlete’ CD program. I see a new focused, composed child who really enjoys his soccer and the challenges it presents. Thank you so much for the work you do with youth sports psychology. I know for a certainty that his football career would have been very short lived without it.”
