“My overall confidence as a player and teammate has increased dramatically ever since having sessions with Coach David!”

“I have more self-confidence and mindfulness, as well as a greater ability to deal with adversity. Coach David was always there to help, and the relationship felt more personal and less transactional than other forms of help I have received in the past. I’m extremely grateful for all he does. “

“We are grateful to have found Coach David, he did an excellent job with our daughter. I have seen a difference in her before, during, and after her games. During her games, she’s able to cut out the noise and focus so much better now. With just a few sessions, her coping skills and attitude have improved, and she has been able to really enjoy playing again for the first time in a while. Highly recommend Coach David!”

“Our collegiate soccer program grew tremendously in mental perseverance and resilience as a direct result of working with Coach David. I attribute much of our successful late-season playoff run to the mental foundation laid during Coach David’s trainings. In our end-of-season evaluations, the team overwhelmingly expressed positive feedback about the program’s emphasis on mental wellness.”

“Recovering from an ACL injury was no doubt one of the hardest things I’ve had to overcome. Coach David’s support really helped me take a step back and map out a plan of my journey ahead. His reflections warned me that it was going be tough but also helped me on what to do in the tough situations. It allowed me to reflect on what I had and to not take it for granted and to help me to try and get it back but be better in the process. They definitely helped and I will be forever grateful for Coach David and his wisdom and support in the process.”

“While working with Coach David, my son’s basketball performance increased, but more important than his improvement on the basketball court, Coach David taught my son innumerable life skills. Before my very eyes, my son developed into a more mature, aware young man. The cherry on top? Coach David managed to accomplish all of this within a fun, enjoyable environment, so my son truly looked forward to each and every session.”

“I talk about the impact of Coach David to so many coaches in our area. I want them to have what we have after using Coach David. He has helped me become a better coach and to see my players in a way that is beneficial to all of us…We have turned the culture of the team into much more accepting and open environment where the players are not afraid to make mistakes, and they understand the importance of their emotional, mental, and physical strength.”
— High School Volleyball Coach
“I have enjoyed working with Coach David and feel it has been beneficial for me. Especially regarding the ability to focus for longer, learning how to breathe to calm down or hype myself up, setting achievable goals and fulfilling them, learning how to phrase things for my brain to function better with them.”
— High School Soccer Player
“My daughter has more confidence and is doing all of the things she worked on with Coach David!“
— Parent
“We reference the BET method at most of games and practices since Coach David’s talk. It’s been very meaningful/ practical for us – and it has allowed us to stay more locked in as a team and individually. Our state championship game came down to shootout and that was our message before our kicks – BET on it – and we won. Coach David’s talk was clear, practical, and thorough for our high school age boys. They held on to his words, and it has had a huge impact on our team.“
— Club Soccer Coach
““Coach David has made a meaningful impact during a distressing time and we have seen positive outcomes.”
— Olympic Weightlifting Coach
“My son has more confidence, much calmer, easier to speak to, and more thoughtful. Coach David has been absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him to any other parent struggling to support their teenage athlete.”
