MAX OUT MINDSET

Our goal at Max Out Mindset is to provide world-class elite mindset training. We want to give clarity to the process of training mindset in order to help coaches, athletes, and teams reach their full potential. Our training has been integral in achieving 14 national championships across the professional, college, and high school/club levels, along with nearly 30 high school state championships. When we collaborate with teams, we also work relentlessly on culture and chemistry to help build Ultimate Trust—the foundation of high-performing teams.


High School and College Teams

Given the talent and experience of the athletes and coaches, along with the depth, health, and intangibles, can an individual or team truly reach the limits of their potential? And more importantly, can they do it under pressure when it matters the most?

Through our proven techniques, athletes learn to overcome self-doubt, embrace adversity, and perform at their best when it matters most.

Our Partner

A lot has transpired in the world, good and bad, COVID-19 entered our world, political divisiveness became the norm, and societal pressures, especially for 15–22-year-old student-athletes, became heightened and led to the most psychological distress that I have witnessed during my career. This is why we have partnered with the Paige for Paige foundation. 

Paige Roessner, was a fierce competitor on the softball field. Off the field, she also battled with formidable opponents: depression and anxiety. Paige ultimately lost her life to suicide on 3/30/22. Since Paige’s passing, the Play for Paige 33 Foundation was established by her parents, Jason and Barb, to help other student-athletes, like Paige, who are affected by mental illness. Their mission is to help spread awareness about mental health among students and student-athletes so that they know they are not alone, and that there are others fighting their same battles. They will also be providing tools for parents and coaches to help them recognize and support athletes who may be struggling with depression or anxiety.
