Questions
Before you fund it
How much time does it take?
As much as the athlete puts in. Lessons are short videos they can watch on their own time. Coaches can also run modules together as a team, but nothing requires extra practice hours.
Is this therapy?
No. It's mental performance education: practical skills for pressure, setbacks, and competition. It complements your school's counseling resources rather than replacing them.
Who can pay for it?
Anyone backing the team: the athletic department, a booster club, or a parent group. We set up access with the head coach.
Our roster is small. Does a team package make sense?
Try the calculator. For very small rosters, individual enrollment at $199 per athlete may cost less, and we'll tell you that on the call.
