"My 12 year old son is a pretty good baseball player but can be his own worst enemy at times. Started working with Eli because he was having a hard time getting past some rough patches he had on the mound.
Since starting with Eli, now he looks forward to pressure situations and tough competition, both as a hitter and pitcher. Moreover, rather than letting failures define him, he now uses them as motivation.
Eli has given him the tools to develop real confidence and the ability to handle pressure and failure so as to perform to the best of his ability.
I can't recommend Eli enough. He's an invaluable resource for any athlete."

What Parents Are Saying...
-Beth | Hockey Mom
"Eli helped tackle some of the biggest challenges our son was facing, through consistency and practice. We saw a great deal of improvement in our son’s performance and attitude. The paradigm shift that Eli taught him is one that we use to this day and one that we have used outside of the sports environment as well. We had a great experience working with Eli and so did our son!"
-John | Gymnastics Dad
"My daughter just started and completed Module 4 on Friday, had her best gymnastics meet of the year on Saturday!"
