"What a great presentation by Brendan to my Middle School Parents! Highly recommend to all parents. While his talk was geared around athletics, the topics could apply to all middle school and high school students. Having the proper mindset and understanding what we can control are critical pieces for their development and success."
~Theresa Hirschauer, Head of Middle School & Athletic Director, Cincinnati Country Day School
"There is no doubt that Clearmind Performance gave us the added tools to navigate this season. Having my players dive into the mental side of the game with Brendan was empowering to them as individuals, and invaluable to us as a group. Our time with Clearmind Performance was a tremendous investment and absolutely played a part in our team's success."
~Andrew Sharp, Head Coach, Hesston College Softball-2019 Jawhawk Conference Co-Champions
"Brendan did an outstanding job of helping our team realize the importance of the "mental" game. They all came away with pointers of how to: move on to the next play, control the controllables and create positive self-talk. We added a short 30-second meditation segment to start practice each day, which originated from a session with Brendan. He was very good at communicating with our staff, so that we could customize each session for our team, in that exact moment of the season. "
~Cam Sealey, Head Women's Basketball Coach, Lenoir-Rhyne University
"Clearmind Performance provided my guys an opportunity to explore various methods of dealing with everyday stresses involving sports. The ups and downs of a season is challenging enough for many players. Couple that with academic demands can be quite taxing on a teenager. Clearmind Performance was a step in the right direction for my athletes as they found ways to address the "controllables" and "uncontrollables" more thoroughly.
~Carl Woods, Head Varsity Boys Basketball Coach, Cincinnati Christian Schools
"I've been the Head Bowling Coach at Butler High School for 9 seasons and I've never been able to get over that "mental hump" with my teams until this year. Wow! Brendan gave my players, coaches and myself the mental tools we needed to "Control the Controllables!" After each session that we had with Brendan, I could see an immediate increase in all my player's confidence. Our Boys team won our first GWOC Divisional championship, and in doing so, ended a 46 match win streak, dating back 4 years by a division rival. The Boys made it to the OHSAA Division 1 State tournament for the first time ever, where they made it match play and lost to this year's eventual State champion 3 games to 2. Our Girls team won our first GWOC Divisional championship by beating this year's State D1 runners-up in both of our head to head matches, giving them their only two losses of the season. The Girls just missed making it to State (by 20 pins) with our best placing ever at Districts and this after graduating our top two players from last season in what was a "rebuilding" year!! Can't wait to work again next season with Brendan!!"

"Brendan and Clearmind Performance was a great program for our players this season! He was always very professional and related very well with our girls. Our players left every session with a new tool/strategy/technique that they could use to benefit themselves and improve their mental approach to the game!"
~Dan Wallace, Head Coach, McAuley High School Girls Basketball, Cincinnati, Ohio
"Brendan helped the team to focus in on our goals and showed us how to achieve them. We learned to transform our bad mental habits into those of positivity which turned into success both on and off the court."
~McAuley High School Girls Basketball Seniors ('17), Cincinnati, Ohio
"Brendan did a great job working with our team! He relates well to the players and he knows how to teach mental skills. I want him to spend more time with our team!"
~Cleve Wright, Head Women's Basketball Coach, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio
"Brendan's enthusiasm and understanding of sport psychology is terrific. He has a true passion for it. He was a tremendous asset to our team."
~Tim Swartzendruber, Head Men's Basketball Coach, McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas
"I’ve been fortunate to learn from Brendan. His caring nature and astounding knowledge of the mind absolutely improved not only my quality of sport, but most importantly, my quality of life. He brings the years of experience in diagnosing and teaching the essential mental skills necessary to bring athletes to their highest level of performance. In my time working with Brendan, I’ve had breakthroughs both personally and competitively. With the confidence he gave me, I became the MAC Champion in the 100-yard breaststroke. I believe every athlete will benefit from Brendan regardless of the competition level. His wisdom is invaluable!"
~Stephanie LeMire, NCAA DI Student-Athlete, Women's Swimming and Diving, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio
"My junior year at Miami, I began working with Brendan to enhance my performance skills at the end of a successful swim season. Then, some health issues during my senior year started to waiver my mental toughness and confidence in the water. His coaching helped remind me that I did have control of my thoughts and emotions, and despite how my health affected my swimming, I could remain a positive and confident athlete. Thank you, Brendan for helping me through both the ups and the downs of my college swimming career!"
~Stephanie Nemeth, NCAA DI Student-Athlete, Women's Swimming and Diving, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio
"Brendan worked with our club volleyball team. He was great with our team, and I know a lot of our athletes felt like the opportunity to sharpen their mental game was a huge help. From a coaching standpoint it was great to have a professional teach my athletes methods to gain an edge over their opponents above and beyond what we can do on the court. Brendan is very professional yet relates well to athletes of any age and I would highly recommend him to any coach looking to elevate their program."
