2. 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.
The result: better performance, communication, and consistency on and off every arena.
