This certification is a must for anyone working with athletes. It brings together the mental game, business acumen, and coaching skills in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately applicable. I now feel equipped to make a lasting impact on athletes—not just in sports, but in life.
Danielle Swenson
This program gave me the structure, tools, and inspiration I needed to elevate my ability to mentor and coach kids toward a better future. It’s not just about sports—it’s about helping them build the mindset for success long after the game is over. The combination of practical strategies and personal growth made it one of the best investments I’ve made in my development as a coach and communicator.
Jerry Freishtat
I joined to better support the people I lead and coach, and this certification went above and beyond. It’s practical, actionable, and deeply insightful—combining mindset theory with real tools to help others overcome limiting beliefs and grow. The community and clarity this program provides helped me step more confidently into my role as a mindset coach.
Claudette Talley
I enrolled to deepen my understanding of what truly drives performance—mindset. From military leadership to coaching youth sports, I’ve seen how critical the mental game is. This program not only sharpened my coaching skills but also gave me business tools to turn this passion into a real opportunity. The mentorship and systems are worth their weight in gold.
Joe Wurtz
The course 100% met my expectations, but what exceeded my expectations was the breakdown and simplification of information. I would recommend this course to any trainer, coach, or parent who is responsible for an athlete's development both on and off the field. Anyone who wants to leave an impact that leaves a legacy through their coaching.
Grant Smith
“The course definitely exceeded my expectations and I am excited to go through the material multiple times to make sure I drain every nugget of information, gold out of the course.”
Robert Large
“This course surpassed my expectations. The tools alone that were given in this course are worth 20x what was charged for this course. My biggest takeaway from this course was the NLP coaching strategies. This is truly a World Class system delivered in a professional way.”
Omar Stinney
“An absolute must for every coach working with youth or high school athletes. The GYMR coaching certification is the gold standard for understanding and coaching the mental game.”
Mike Mumford
“It was fantastic, some of it straightforward forward, but it is what is needed. I really got a lot out of the applications to use with people and would love to do further education somehow on more of these exercises to prescribe to clients. The gain and the gap I actually used the next day with a client.”
Richard Collins
“I am LOVING this course! Let me tell you, if I knew this info 15 years ago, it would have been like a high-powered secret shortcut. I could have done so much more in so much less time.”
James Lackey
“My biggest aha was that this is the secret shortcut. I wonder how much better and faster I could have been had I known this sooner.”
Bo Lackey
