Testimonials

Amy had a fantastic race at States. She PR’d by nearly a minute. She managed her nerves and focus. Between your audios and what you guys worked on she had a breakthrough. Thank you for helping her cope and manage her nerves and fears!

Debbie

My pole vaulting coach used to joke about me being “fragile” mentally. That’s because when I’d get to a certain height, I’d start to freak out. I read Using Your Head…Track and Field and I can’t believe what a difference it made. I’m much calmer and even my coach is impressed!

Jenna D

Mandy had her best year in high school sports with PR’s in cross country and track, state appearances in both sports and a cross country medal. She was approached by Loyola the weekend of the State track meet and we are thrilled that she will be attending there! Thank you for all your help!

Lorna

You helped Katie turn her Pole Vault season around! ! She went from not being able to take off the runway, to ranking her second in the state, and placing at the California State meet! You have given her skills that she will use throughout her life. She has amazing confidence and grace now!”

Nancy

Kelsey and I looked through your workbook this week before her Saturday meet. She said she put your ideas to use and it looks like it REALLY worked! She jumped a season PR of 5’1″! We will continue the exercises and hope for an even better meet this coming Friday!

Lynn

Abby used to get so nervous pre-race that she would throw up and that would finish her for her race. You taught her how to concentrate on the right stuff and low and behold, she hasn’t thrown up all season. She PR’ed at Conference, qualified for States and finished in the top 10 at States!

Molly

I would think too much before my races and then way too much during the race. I found your book ‘Using Your Head workbook for Track & Field!’ and I have to say you have opened my eyes Now my race times are just like my practice times and I am being recruited to run in college!
