CLIENTS
Testimonials
“DJ’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious for our athletes and coaches. A huge takeaway from the Mindset Advantage workshop was understanding and recognizing
the green, yellow and red-light performance module. I found it particularly valuable when you had our athletes create their own “release system” to get back to green light mindset, when/if they fall into yellow or red light. The skills and strategies you shared will be beneficial way beyond their high school career. We will continue listening to the Mindset Advantage podcast as a way to keep the momentum at Totino Grace High School. We look forward to working with you again in the near future.”

“Since working with DJ on mental performance training we have unlocked mental toughness, confidence, a new perspective on and off the soccer field. The concepts that I have learned from working with DJ have translated into another level of success on the soccer field as an athlete, at school as a student, and in my everyday life as a person. DJ takes a holistic approach to his training by capturing the whole picture, and gives me tools and resources to all facets of life. I’m grateful to DJ as a coach and as a friend going into my senior year and whatever the future holds.”
