Rarely is the problem talent, but what happens when pressure hits. Without a system, players spiral. They overthink, shut down, or look to others to lead. The Player Coach Method™ gives athletes the tools to compete with clarity, maturity, and urgency—so coaches can finally coach the game, not the effort or the attitude.
The desire to compete is not something you're born with; it's something you train. It’s not built in the huddle—it’s built in the mind.
From Underdog to Undeniable
What bridges the gap between frustration and freedom? A system that builds athletes from the inside out.
We don’t "fix" athletes. We build the system underneath their talent—so they can lead themselves, rise under pressure, and create a season they’re proud of.
Today's athlete needs something different.
Many athletes today are stuck in survival mode. They crave structure but reject anything that feels outdated or performative.
They’re tired of:
- Fear-based coaching
- Surface-level culture talks, and
- Being treated like a problem to fix.
What they do respond to is:
- Clarity
- Purpose
- And a shared vision
At The Athlete Practice, we don’t ask them to fit into old systems. We sit beside them as we build new ones...
—together—redefining leadership, culture, and joy from their perspective.
challenges you might be facing:
They Want to Lead, but...
When it’s time to speak up, take ownership, or hold others accountable, they hesitate. They wait for someone else to fix it. They deflect, avoid conflict, or retreat into blame—missing the very moments that build trust and leadership.
The Message Isn’t Landing
You’re saying one thing—but they’re hearing something else entirely. The disconnect is creating friction and making it harder to coach, even when the intention is clear.
The Standards Are Too Low
They’re doing a lot—but not the things that matter most. When survival mode becomes the norm, it’s easy to confuse being busy with being prepared.

From Bench Player to All-American
I used to do everything I could to stay under the radar—good enough to stay on the team, never enough to stand out (not really, anyway). Until I landed on the bench that sophomore season at Purdue.
Frustrated, angry, and embarrassed, I made a choice—to do the work I’d been avoiding. The kind of work most athletes resist: raising standards, owning habits, and building the courage to be more, not less, of who I already was.
That choice took me from the bench to becoming the first soccer All-American in Purdue’s history.
That journey became a method.
That method became a system.
And now, that system helps athletes stop second-guessing—and start competing like the player they know they can be.
