Testimonees
“The insights and changes in outlook he provided me were very applicable not only in my sport but also in school.”
I started working with Ross when my crew, Chris, and I wanted to perform better in international regattas. We focused on improving our teamwork, both on and off the water, to complete tasks more efficiently. We also wanted to work on goal setting and working towards achieving them.
Ross helped me figure out why I really enjoyed my sport. Originally, there were many reasons: the speed, competition, winning, the people, etc. Understanding that it was all of them, not just one component, helped me enjoy the process a lot more. I try to carry this mindset to my academics and career as well. Another very helpful thing I learned is belly breathing, which allows you to breathe more intentionally. Finally, I use visualisation to help me in big presentations. With Ross’s help, I have achieved consistency, performance and professionalism.
Ross is always trying to get to the root cause of the problem and has an open-ended, flexible, conversational style. I recommend his services to all athletes, especially student-athletes, because the insights and changes in outlook he provided me were highly applicable not only to my sport but also to school. Thanks again for your help in my sailing and life!
