Nervous system-first mentorship for young athletes—so pressure becomes something they can understand, regulate, and grow through.
This story reveals the kind of coaching that makes kids feel safe, valued, and ready when the moment matters most.
"My previous training had slowed me down and led to repetitive injuries. Eric helped me regain my speed using breathwork and different exercises I hadn't done before."
— Grace Burns, Team Puerto Rico Starter, Rockland County POY
Ellery had a rough start to her season. Through somatic coaching, she learned why certain parts of her swing were always difficult to change — and the training helped her finally make progress.
"Without the mental coaching I don't know if I could have tied for 1st place in the County Championships."
— Ellery Talbot, FCIAC Co-Champion
“My son first came to Eric with an overuse golf injury, de Quervain’s syndrome. Eric corrected the movement patterns contributing to it, and it never returned.
His golf-specific strength program increased power without unnecessary bulk and gave my son a major mental edge. As my son says, ‘Eric is the best mental coach I’ve worked with.’
Eric's coaching increased the effectiveness of swing lessons, helping our son's body stay in alignment reducing swing inconsistency, helped my son believe he could play in college, and he is now starting as a freshman on his college golf team.
He’s already helping our second oldest rise through the ranks in High School.”
— Kate and Jay Lupo
“Eric’s impact on my daughter was immediate. She loved how much Eric made the technical stuff relevant to her when training. The training made her private swing lessons more effective. Her confidence has shifted completely.”
— Jill Talbot
“Our daughter trusted Eric more than any other strength coach she's worked with. Playing soccer since she was 4, Grace was suffering from tightness in her calves and ankles. Eric's approach was the only thing that created an actual path to improvement and helped her regain speed.”
— Stephanie and Brian Burns
Train the athlete before the sport.
Identity-Led Coaching
Wyatt looks back on the letter he wrote to his future self — and sees how much of it became real.
"What defines you isn't the bad round — it's your response to it."
— Wyatt
It starts with small shifts you can feel but can't quite name.
The Signs
Emotional swings after competition
Playing not to lose instead of playing to win
Confidence collapsing after one bad hole
A love of the game that feels thinner than it used to
The Real Issue
These aren't discipline problems. They're capacity problems.
In golf, it shows up as tension, rushed tempo, and a swing that disappears under pressure. Your kid is trying. They care. But pressure is accumulating without release.
Mechanics → Output → Results
Safety → Self-Trust → Expression → Performance → Results
Identity-led performance development that leaves the gym with you.
To find the real physical constraint behind the swing fault
More feel, less force
So pressure doesn't hijack mechanics on the back nine
Reset + emotional processing skills they can use between shots
Pre-round, between-shots, and post-round routines that hold
Because your support matters
Outcome: your athlete learns to regulate before they perform.
Outcome: we clarify who they're becoming — not just what they're chasing.
Outcome: performance becomes expressive — not imitative.
This isn't a lesson package or a training subscription. It's a mentorship container — a structured commitment to your athlete's development across movement, identity, and pressure management.
Only 5 athletes at a time.
We always start with the parent. If it's a fit, we bring in the athlete.
We talk first. What you're seeing, what's changed, what you're concerned about. No stats required — just honesty.
We assess readiness and alignment. If it fits, we build the container together.
