5-Week Competitive Edge Online Course
Our program includes a range of tools and techniques to help athletes perform at their best, including stress management, mindfulness practices, goal-setting, accountability strategies, and mental toughness training using our signature BADA Model.
Breath & Control
Understand the power of the breath and discover through experience. When you take control of your breath, you take control of your mental, physical and emotional states, which leads to peak performance. Take control from within and become the HERO of your life by feeding energy into who you want to BE and what you want to achieve.
Attention Awareness
Where your attention goes, energy flows. Become aware of where your attention is at each moment and learn how to hold and maintain focus on your goals. Discover the power of your mind and how you can FLIP THE SCRIPT on negative thoughts and turn them into positive and productive thoughts, training your mind to work FOR YOU rather than against you.
Decide & Visualize
Decide who you want to be as a player and teammate and create a personal standard (set of personal values). Next time someone asks you who you are, you will have a clear and thoughtful answer. Discover the power of visualization for goal achievement and start strengthening your ability to stay calm and focused in competitive environments. Build your confidence as you take action toward becoming more focused and intentional.
Set Goals & Act
This is where we take everything you've learned so far in the program and put it into action! You will uncover your own unique worthy challenge for your personal growth and develop the ability to set and use micro-goals to not just reach your goal but to accomplish more than you ever thought was possible! The ability to master confidently and intentionally setting and achieving goals is what sets high performers apart from the crowd in sports, business, and life.

Testimonials
My own child has benefited tremendously and now my athletes are.
Ryan is amazing. He lives his teachings and brings his conversations to his athletes in such a respectful and reasonable way. I have witnessed 7-year-olds just as engaged as the adults in what he is offering them. My own child has benefited tremendously and now my athletes are. Great person helping already great people be present, accountable and comfortable becoming even greater!
I just completed the Competitive Edge 5 week course alongside 12 of my Advanced-Level teenage club swimmers. Their engagement blew my mind. They were craving Ryan and Heidi's wisdom on how to be better in and out of the pool, and they are already demonstrating their new life tools. Highly suggest for any coach with committed junior high and high school athletes.
Give your team the Competitive Edge!
