For parents of young athletes
Practice for the conversation in the car after a game. An AI plays the kid, the parent tries what they'd say, and each line comes back with a note on how it tends to land.

Most recently Mental Performance Coordinator for the Detroit Tigers, and before that embedded with U.S. Army Special Operations units.
Consulting
Most of this work happens inside an organization, alongside the coaches, staff, and leaders who are already there, and it starts by forming relationships and learning how an organization works.
Building and leading mental performance programs, from hiring and developing the staff to the daily work with players, coaches, and the people around them, so the program becomes part of how the organization runs.
Helping organizations see, before selection, the qualities that decide how much a player gets out of his development, and building the staff and environment that development depends on.
Workshops and working sessions for leadership groups and staffs, in sport and outside it, on turning stated values into daily behavior, making honest feedback normal, and holding each other to the standards the group sets.
Projects
Some of what comes out of this work is most useful in a form people can pick up without a consultant in the room, so it lives in separate projects, each with its own site.
