What Are The Players Saying?

  • Santiago Patiño

    (FIU Alumni, First Round Draft Pick & Professional Soccer Player)

    “After doing the mindset coaching with Sam, I felt more comfortable in different aspects of the game. One of them was feeling more focused in practices and games. By doing so I felt better during and after the game. The strategies have made me feel more confident and ready for what’s coming. As Sam tells me often, the more work I do outside or inside of the field the better you would be overall.

    I would say that if you want to be the best version of yourself and want to accomplish goals and mission in your career is going to take more than training and playing matches. There are little things that we as athletes don’t think are important but once you start developing them you will notice the difference.”

  • Dylan Teves

    (UW Alumni, Mac Herman Runner Up & Professional Soccer Player)

    “Biggest challenge was finding the right tools to use in games/trainings to make every moment more focused. Also having more intent and reflections on things I do.

    After Sam’s coaching I was equipped with the tools, became more focused with my time, and focused more on the processes then outcomes.

    I would say that even if you think you know how you can become a better player, Sam has the expertise to help drive your game to another level. He becomes a valuable resource and friend that will hold you accountable and drive you to become better.”

  • Zach Ryan

    (Stanford Alumni & Professional Soccer Player)

    “Knowing that I can control a set number of things, being okay with that, and striving to perform in those areas to the best of my ability every training and game was something that Sam taught me.

    This season I competed harder than ever, was excited for each and every match, and my ABCs helped me re-center in difficult moments. Also, I’ve found enjoyment in the consistency of my preparation.

    An underrated aspect of doing this coaching is the accountability that Sam brings. He is never overbearing, but is not afraid to question what you have to say when you make excuses for yourself.

“Sam taught me strategies for your mind that you can apply in your everyday life as both an athlete and a student has been gold to me. Life is full of ups and downs and this program will definitely prepare you to handle this. If you are injured or for some reason can't play what you love at the moment, I can sign under that this program is a must do. It gives you purpose and you actually feel like you are training your mind.”

Olliver Persson

Division 1 Soccer Player

“Sam’s coaching doesn’t just help you with sports specific performance but also it’s very applicable for your performance in the outside world which for me was a really important thing.

Sam’s coaching helped me transition from a D1 athlete with dreams of being a professional soccer player to my new life outside of soccer.

I would recommend anyone to work with Sam, it helped me.”

Brandon Guhl

Division 1 Soccer Player

“By following a specific routine, and using techniques taught by Sam, I have become more productive on a day to day basis. Additionally, I have techniques I can count on when feeling low on confidence or motivation in order to help me get back to good form.

The program gives you the tools you need to succeed as an athlete. Just like you have a strengthening coach for your physical strength, a mental coach helps a lot with your mental strength, which is just as important, if not more important.

I had heard a lot of good things about Sam, and the initial session I had with him to see what the program would be like was very good. I had high expectations and was not disappointed.”

Albert Kang

Division 1 Soccer Player

“I had a lot of negative self-talk in training and matches, this added a lot of stress on my shoulders. I felt on edge and felt like I had to do everything perfectly and played not to make mistakes.

A lot of things changed after doing the program; I now have confidence in my ability and I move on from mistakes quicker. Also I learned how to prepare before practices and also how to reflect after practice, that has helped me perform better in training and in matches. All that combined has helped me become less stressed.

Overall I enjoy playing more due to the lower level of stress and I can reset better after mistakes or bad performances.

If you do coaching with Sam you will have a good time, learn a lot from it and improve.”

Sam Gleadle

Professional Soccer Player

“The mental game is as important as the physical game.

Sam taught me that if you are not aware of how to face adversity and how to respond, you end up losing confidence in yourself and end up playing poorly. This program will also teach you disciple that not only translates to the field, but also in life in general.”

Brigham Larsen

Division 1 Soccer Player

“After my coaching with Sam everything changed for me. Mentality, motivation, lifestyle & career.

Before working with Sam I almost quit professional soccer, after working with Sam everything turned around. I became a true professional and also got nominated for team captain.

Sam’s coaching will change your career. No change is easy, but once you take that step you won't look back.

Sam, you’re the best and I appreciate everything you've done to help me grow in my career.”

Marlo Sweatman

Professional Soccer Player

“This has made such a difference in how I approach the game and I am now more motivated to do better and it will do the same for you. I tried other programs before, but they are much less action driven. Rather than thinking about the issues, I liked taking action to get in the right habits to succeed.”

Lauren McCloskey

Division 1 Soccer Player

“I became confident on and off the field. I wasn’t stressing myself out by constantly overthinking.

In one of my games I can remember starting to be negative and I quickly shot it down with one of the techniques I learned from you.

Continue doing great work with athletes Sam . You honestly did take my game to the next level.”

Rondell Payne

Division 1 Soccer Player

“I learned how to motivate myself from within. I developed habits to get better everyday, and knowing that I’ve done everything I can do today to get better made me feel confident.

I also learned how to balance caring about something strongly and caring too much. I was always the person who overanalyze and overthink everything. While that is a good quality of mine, it was creating unnecessary pressure that didn’t exist.

I learned how to focus on the things I can control, and analyze things quickly and moving on. I learned how not to dwell on my downfalls.”
