WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
“RESET made me think deeper about how I was feeling and gave me ways to help it. I benefited from listening to my inner coach more which helped me on the field. RESET helped me with relationships because I was able to know my feelings and was more inclined to talk about them.”
Ian Thorsen
Soccer, Concordia University Texas
“Our team was able to take what Ashley worked on and immediately apply the skills in practice and game settings. We have seen our team grow mentally and be able to bounce back from setbacks.”
Nick Mims
Men's Soccer Head Coach, Concordia University Texas
“RESET is what all athletes need because no one is perfect. No matter what level or ability, everyone has things they can work on to be a better teammate and athlete. RESET also applies to life in general, and anything we can do as coaches to make our players better people is worth it.”
NCAA DI Basketball Coach
“Playing a college sport can be very mentally exhausting and challenging at times. This RESET training really had the best impact on my team, allowing us to learn how to use our mistakes as opportunity to grow rather than classifying it as failure and the power of positive self talk. Highly highly highly recommend to any sports team!”
Katie
Soccer Player, Hope College
“RESET helps you reflect on the person and athlete you are, and who you want to be. It helps you build confidence and emotionally and mentally handle uncomfortable situations and thoughts. It has helped me in my everyday life take a step back, and realize I have all the tools I need to help myself, and I am more than capable.”
NCAA DII Soccer Player
"RESET is a program that helps expand your mind and change your perspectives on internal issues that a lot of athletes' face. It's something that can help improve your game on the field, but also improve your life outside and after sports are over."
High School Football Player
"The RESET program has really helped me be more mindful of the extent to which my thoughts and emotions affect my daily life, my sport, and the way I carry myself, along with providing tools to help reshape negative thoughts that may spiral."
NCAA DI Diver
"The RESET method and approach has really helped us break things down and evaluate on a deeper level to further understand the root of the challenge and tackle it. The open dialogue, personal testimonies and free flowing workbook allowed our players a safe place to be engaged, share, and learn from each other."
NCAA DI Soccer Coach
"RESET helped me believe in myself and gain more confidence going into my sport. It also helped me flip the perspective when things get tough and find meaning besides just me being an athlete."
