St. Francis HS, 2026
"I wanted to thank you for the time and patience with my son Chase. The time he spent with you was so beneficial in his growth. Since you have been with Chase, I have seen great growth in his mindset. He writes in a journal everyday, reads daily and his health habits have completely changed.
You have set an amazing path for my son. He loves Baseball and what you talked with him about has given Chase a great perspective on what it takes to be great. I can't thank you enough for Chase's transition. I would highly recommend every Child go through your program."

Did you notice any improvements in your performance on the field?
"Yes I have more confidence in my ability to succeed. Also remembering breath work to help me stay dialed and locked in a calm for the moment. But with that I also remember when I’m doing any baseball stuff or training to Remember that you always sink to the level of your training and know my training has paid off."
"I would say the biggest thing would be confidence. I always thought I was confident but didn’t really fully understand until working with you. I feel like now my confidence is derived from the fact that I have a plan to fall back on every time I step on the field no matter who I play against. Before it was just because I knew I was a pretty good player."
