They have sought his counsel and unique teaching style to learn about the game within the game, or what sport psychology and mental training can do to help them become the athlete they want to be. He is a former athlete that when he retired from high level competition knew there had to be more than just natural talent and fitness to make athletes successful.

He feels it is not his position to inspire or motivate athletes to perform to their potential, rather to help them find what it is that will inspire and motivate them from within. You must learn that it is more important to be able to push your own button, than to rely on others to do it for you. Mike’s work with teams over the years has enabled him to bring his experiences to the corporate world. He has helped nationally recognized companies build great sales and project teams with the help of the same types of strategies he has used in working with sports teams. Over the years Mike has worked with teams at every level, from the Denver Broncos to the Rat City Rollergirls, Seattle’s premiere all-female, flat-track roller derby league. Mike worked via SKYPE with the Cheyenne Stampede “Jr. A” Hockey team this year. He is helping promising young athletes succeed in school and on the playing field. ".
