Testimonials

"I struggled with my confidence during tennis matches to such a degree that it led to losses against inferior opponents. Carey identified my mental blocks and helped eliminate them quickly, which led to increased confidence and more wins. The improvement was immediate, before I even stepped on the court.” JM

"Working with Carey over this past year has completely increased my confidence and has allowed me to compete to my full potential. He has helped me to realize my mental blocks and then eliminate them so that they are no longer a factor on the court. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for Carey". CG

“My son has played tennis from an early age and although he is very skilled he would very often let negative emotions control his game. In a very short time of working with Carey he has learned to control his emotions and channel positive thoughts into his play. The results have been astounding in both wins and a much happier competitor.” GJ
