The Elite Competitor Academy — 12-Week Program
The flagship system. Not motivation — a structured program that builds the complete competitor in 12 weeks, using the same mental tools as elite performers like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Phelps.
- 12 weeks of structured curriculum across 3 earned, phase-gated phases
- Video lessons, workbooks, and implementation frameworks for every module
- Private community with weekly coaching prompts and accountability
- Elite Competitor Certificate™ upon Phase III completion
- A personal welcome from Michael J. Carrera within 24 hours of acceptance
Admission is by application only. Every athlete is personally reviewed before receiving an invitation to join. Spots are intentionally limited.
Team Program — Create a Bulletproof Mindset
Sports psychology for high schools, colleges, AAU and travel programs, and clubs. Michael works directly with teams before the season in a focused three-session system:
- Day 1 — Foundation: building team identity, values, habits, and accountability.
- Day 2 — Mindset: training and rewiring how athletes think, handle adversity, and control self-talk.
- Day 3 — Performance: applying it all to competition — focus, composure, and confidence under pressure.
