Virtual Sessions
Individuals & Groups

One-on-one, customized training. Our most YOU-focused offering. In your first session, you’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation, followed by a written assessment and personalized training plan in the second. In the sessions that follow, we’ll dig deep into your most immediate mental performance needs and then follow your individual training plan.

Here we’ll focus on developing and addressing individual training plans in a group setting. Each athlete will receive a comprehensive evaluation in the first session. By the end of the second session, attendees will be provided an individual written assessment and personalized training plan to be discussed as a group. Members of the group session will benefit from discussing performance needs and learning from each other’s training plans.
