My son has been working with Alex and EMP for the past six months. Mental performance is often overlooked but has proven to the most important aspect of his preparation…

Michael P.Parent, Google review

His goal was under 5:30… he ran a 5:27. The key was that he changed his mental approach.

StuartTrack parent, after the free call

He thought his soccer life was over… The first time he spoke to you, he came out of the room a totally changed person.

Pitching today for the first time in 408 days… topped 87, which was my top before I got hurt.

He did NOT want to have anyone tell him how to breathe… It's one of his greatest tools now.

We have been working with Alex for about 5 months and the transformation to our team is palpable.

Alex has been there.

In college, Alex was a D1 goalkeeper at Creighton. Then his game fell apart. He dropped crosses and fumbled shots. He lost his starting spot twice.

Now he's a certified coach for the mental side of sports. He helps athletes in every sport, from teenagers to pros, fix what he couldn't fix back then.

Common questions

What happens on the free call?

It's 30 minutes over video. You tell Alex what's going on and he asks a few questions. Alex locates your mental performance bottleneck, and you leave with one drill to use before your next competition. If ongoing coaching is a fit, you start that together.

Who does Alex work with?

Competitive athletes 14 and older, in any sport. Swimmers, runners, golfers, tennis players, fighters, riders and team-sport athletes. High school, college, pro and adult competitors. Parents often book for younger athletes.

Is this therapy? Does insurance pay?

No. It's coaching, not therapy, so insurance doesn't apply. Payment plans are available.

I’m a parent. What if my athlete isn’t sure?

Bring them to the free consultation. Alex played D1, and he talks to athletes like a coach. Your athlete can see if it clicks.

Is it online or in person?

100% online. Sessions happen over video, so you can train from home, a hotel or the road to your next event.

How fast will we see a change?

Most athletes see real change in about 90 days. By 6 months, it starts to feel natural, and the skills stay with you for your whole career.

What happens after the call?

If it’s a fit, you start with onboarding and your Mental Scouting Report. Then you work 1:1 with Alex over video, with weekly check-ins between sessions and a short daily protocol. Every few months you re-score and set the next goal.
