"This course was a huge step in the right direction for me. as a person. The Confidence Course should play a role in peoples lives in general. It’s always good to have tools that help better you as a person." - Cole (Student-Athlete)

"I have not only noticed a big change in my athletic performance, but also I have been able to make this community with other athletes, relate to them and see that other people feel the same way as me when it comes to nutrition, especially because of social taboos. I feel understood and I feel great." - Rafaela (Student-Athlete)

"I love how interactive it is. I like how we have tangible things to take with us onto the court." - Julie (Student-Athlete)

"I started mental performance coaching as a whole different person than I am now. I have learned the keys to confidence and positivity that not only make me a better soccer player but improve all aspects of my life." - Jess (Parent)

"A year ago, our son was really struggling with confidence in his sport and in certain aspects of his life. The mental performance coaching has been instrumental in his development as a player and a person. He has learned how to control his emotions when things don’t go his way and manage his anxiety in all facets of his life." - Chris (Parent)
