Parent Testimonial:
"Mike came highly recommended to us when were looking for a professional to help our daughter work through her challenges stemming from a broken leg that happened during a soccer match. From our perspective, it did not take long for us to see the results of Mike’s work and impact on our daughter. At her choice, she wanted to work with Mike beyond the issues pertaining to the sports injury. She (and we) saw great value in Mike’s expertise and connection with athletes - especially adolescent athletes. Mike accomplished a lot with her:
  • Goal setting for optimal performance
  • Tools on how to manage and react to challenges between teammates and coaches (an often difficult challenge)
  • Tools on how to "focus on the moment" vs. what happened last game or what might happen in the future
  • Attending games to validate her performance as it related to her goals.
Mike also helped us a lot on the parent – “adolescent athlete” dynamics. As you know it is normal behavioral development for the adolescent to put up barriers as they widen their independence from mom and dad. As a third party to our relationship with our daughter, Mike quickly gained her confidence and was able to remove the behavioral barriers and provide us all the tools to more effectively communicate.       
 
Big picture, a lot of what she learned from Mike is going to stay with her for the rest of her life. This was far more than what we were expecting!"
