TESTIMONIALS
On my journey to learn more about my inner self, I have been working on my values and my “why” statement. Mike helped me to ensure that my “why” and my values are congruent and align. It’s been a wonderful journey of discovery, helped by Mike every step of the way. I now have clarity and confidence that I can do this!
Working with Mike has made me understand more of my why & purpose of my goals as an athlete, to channel my energy & mindset in a positive state while facing challenges throughout this year on and off the field. The program also gave me the tools to push myself mentally (to never limit myself) having a strong mindset as well as self-belief, truly made me unbreakable this season!
Our group was more emotionally self-aware, influencing our external dialogue and body language. We processed pressure as a team better, improved clarity of how we wanted to play and now have solutions to obstacles we come across as a team.
Thanks Mike for helping with my goal setting, and also explaining the stepping stones and tools needed to get there. I feel amazing and I am seeing great results, and it’s helping with so many aspects of life. Thanks Mike for your genuine and caring nature. Your fresh perspective and thoughtful questions helped me to clarify what I wanted next. I always look forward to our catch-ups as they fill me with energy to take on my next challenge.
