What Others Say
“Working with Brock opened my eyes to the benefits of mindset performance training and its role in the success of high performance. Previously, I attributed by success to diligent physical work ethic – but never considered th level that mindset performance would help me ahieve. Through my sessions with Brock, I found a more confident and prepared version of myself, that allowed me to access my physical abilities easier, and most importantly, make physical and mental adjustments sooner. I highly recommend Brock as someone to turn to when you are ready to create a holistic performance plan that will bring your overall best self to game-day.”
~Matt Tabor (Former Professional Pitcher for the Seattle Mariners & Arizona Diamondbacks)
“I’m enjoying the game a whole lot more. I dropped my handicap by 6 strokes. Brock helped me adopt a consistent pre-shot routine that allows me to be calmer and more positive on the course. Brock adapted to suit my style and areas of focus while still effectively communicating the fundamentals. I’m not sure much more could be improved in my game right now!”
~Innes Meldrum (Golfer)
“When I first started with Brock, I thought I had a good mental game for baseball. I quickly learned things lashing out throwing things, yelling, and blaming others wasn’t helping. I also learned that I fear failure more than anything. Baseball is a game a failure and Brock helped me learn ways to accept failure in a positive way so I could be more successful. Understanding that the lows don’t last and to just keep pushing with a good mindset worked wonders this season. Trusting Brock and his strategies was the best thing I could have done for my career and my mental game in baseball.”
~Boone Hosey (Baseball Athlete)
“Transitioning from playing professional sport to coaching has been a very challenging landscape to maneuver. I truly thank Brock for his ability to listen, add value, and aid in a more seamless transition both professionally and personally in my new career path. In today’s every changing world of sports, the mental side is more important than ever. Brock brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas that has added extreme value into my daily coaching and life. As a sport psychology consultant, he has the skills to be able to help any athlete, team, or organization perform at their very best!”
~Jonathan Bornstein (2010 U.S. Soccer World Cup Member, Current Florida State University Women’s Soccer Assistant Coach)
“Seeking help for me is never easy, but talking with Brock was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Understanding my true value allowed me to succeed on and off the field thanks to Brock!”
~Brennan Baker (Baseball Athlete)
“Brock was a great asset and resource for our baseball team at Tallahassee Community College. His ability to connect individually with each player made our mental skills sessions enjoyable and something our players looked forward to each week. I have no doubt Brock will be successful in continuing his career. He will be missed at TCC”
~Coach Bryan Henry
“Brock helped me drop my putts per round from an average of 35 to 30. While working with Brock I had multiple rounds under par and won three tournaments. I have an improved attitude towards my short game and I am more confident with my putter. He let me talk through my issues and provided solutions and goals.”
~Craig Platt (Golfer)
“Before I started working with Brock, I had never done psychology practices at all. I was very down on myself due to recent circumstances in my life. Brock showed me a new way to look at the game whether it be routines, mindset, and making goals to help me become the player that I can be. I wouldn’t have ended my season as strong as I did without the help of Brock and all the ideas that he presented me with and without his words of encouragement and guidance.”
-Nick Smith (Baseball Athlete)
“After having a rough freshman year I wanted to find a way to elevate my game. I did that by working on my mental side. I was able to play the game and have fun and worry less about the results and just focus on what the team needs. Brock helped me realize that in a game of failure you need to embrace the success and failure and just play the game.”
~Luis Gomez (Baseball Athlete)
“My experience with Brock has been nothing but amazing. Coming in to work with Brock I was struggling with performance as well as mentally in most aspects of my life. The stratgegies that Brock has taught me and helped me learn have helped me to become mentally strong but also improve my performance on the field due to the tips he taught relating to on the field as well as real life. If you have any chance to work with Brock, I would highly recommend this as well as be open minded to the thought of sport psychology. I was very closed off to starting something new but once I started to open up I made leaps and bounds and became extremely mentally strong on the field.”
~Austin Asbill (Baseball Athlete)
“After playing my first year of college baseball at Tallahassee community college, I learned many things about myself. I was a having a great year on the field, but it was very inconsistent and took a toll on me mentally. I started to question myself, wondering if I still had what it took or if I was good enough to play. That is when I decided that I needed to find help and it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Brock also taught me something I go by in my everyday life, control the controllables. Not only do the things we talk about and techniques we use help me on the field, but this also helps me on a daily basis. Meeting with Brock was the best decision that I have ever made, and it helped me play one of the best years of my life.”
