  • 6-Week Athlete Mindset Program

    The 6-Week Athlete Mindset Program is designed for athletes who want to become mentally stronger competitors. Athletes learn practical tools they can use during practices, games, competition, and challenging moments.

    The program focuses on confidence, short memory, pressure response, self-talk, focus, accountability, mistake recovery, emotional control, and developing a personal next-play mentality.

    Rather than simply telling athletes to “shake it off” or “be confident,” we help them understand how to reset, refocus, and move forward.

    This is the starting point for athletes who want ongoing Main Event Mindset coaching.

    Best for: Youth athletes who struggle with mistakes, confidence, pressure, negative self-talk, nerves, frustration, or maintaining focus—or athletes who simply want to strengthen the mental side of their game.

    WHAT’S INCLUDED

    • Six weekly 60-minute mindset-coaching sessions
    • A structured six-week program tailored to the participant’s selected track
    • Practical tools, exercises, and strategies to use between sessions
    • Development of a personalized mindset plan
    • Reasonable text or email check-ins between scheduled sessions for questions related to the program

    The full cost of the six-week program is $200. This is not a monthly charge.

    Text and email check-ins are intended for brief program-related questions and support. They do not include unlimited, immediate, emergency, or on-demand coaching. Responses are provided as Coach Mike’s availability allows.

    Monthly Athlete Support Program

    Mental performance doesn't stop developing when a six-week program ends. Monthly Athlete Support provides ongoing coaching, accountability, check-ins, and continued development after an athlete has established their foundation.

    Support can focus on current challenges, upcoming competition, confidence, pressure, mistakes, self-talk, accountability, leadership, and continued use of the athlete's personal mindset tools.

    Session frequency may be weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on the selected support option.

    Eligibility: Athletes must complete the 6-Week Athlete Mindset Program before enrolling in Monthly Athlete Support.

    WHAT’S INCLUDED EACH MONTH

    • One 60-minute mindset-coaching session
    • Goal tracking, accountability, and performance reflection
    • Continued development and application of the athlete’s personal mindset plan
    • Reasonable text or email check-ins during the purchased month
    • Brief support related to practices, games, setbacks, pressure situations, mistakes, and changing goals

    Monthly Athlete Support costs $100 for one month and does not automatically renew. Athletes must repurchase the service each month they wish to continue.

    Text and email check-ins are intended for brief mindset-related questions and support. They do not include additional full coaching sessions, unlimited messaging, immediate responses, emergency support, or 24-hour access to Coach Mike. Responses are provided as his availability allows.

    Any game-film review or event attendance must be discussed with Coach Mike in advance. Event attendance depends on location and availability and is not guaranteed.

  • Practical support for the people supporting the athlete.

    Parents often know their athlete is struggling but aren't sure what to say after a bad game, mistake, loss, confidence setback, or frustrating stretch.

    Parent Support Sessions help parents better understand and support their athlete's mindset while maintaining healthy communication, expectations, accountability, and encouragement.

    Sessions may address confidence setbacks, mistakes, pressure, motivation, frustration, communication, and ways parents can reinforce healthier mental-performance habits at home.

    Best for: Parents and guardians who want practical guidance for supporting their athlete without adding unnecessary pressure.

  • Better communication. Clearer expectations. Stronger support.

    The Parent + Athlete Family Session is a guided conversation designed to help athletes and parents communicate more effectively around sports.

    Sessions may address expectations, confidence, pressure, accountability, communication after competition, frustration, support at home, and recurring conflicts surrounding athletics.

    The goal isn't to determine who's “right.” It's to create a healthier, more productive way for the athlete and family to move forward together.

    WHAT’S INCLUDED

    • One 60-minute guided session attended by the parent or guardian and athlete
    • A conversation tailored to the family’s current concerns and goals
    • Practical strategies for communication, confidence, accountability, expectations, pressure, and mistake recovery
    • Clear next steps both participants can use after the session

    The $75 price covers one joint 60-minute session. It does not include ongoing coaching, additional sessions, or unlimited follow-up communication. Additional support must be purchased separately.

  • Practical mindset support for the people leading athletes every day.

    Coaches play a major role in how athletes learn to respond to mistakes, criticism, pressure, accountability, success, and failure.

    Coach Support Sessions provide practical strategies for communicating with athletes and reinforcing stronger mental habits within practices and competition.

    Topics may include athlete confidence, mistake recovery, accountability, communication, pressure response, leadership, motivation, team culture, and next-play mentality.

    Best for: Youth, school, club, travel, recreational, and other coaches who want additional tools for developing the mental side of their athletes.

    WHAT’S INCLUDED

    • Six weekly 60-minute mindset-coaching sessions
    • A structured program designed for someone who coaches their own child
    • Support for balancing the roles of coach and parent
    • Practical strategies for communication, expectations, confidence, accountability, pressure, and mistake recovery
    • Development of a personalized plan for supporting the athlete in both environments
    • Reasonable text or email check-ins between scheduled sessions

    The full six-week program costs $200. Each weekly meeting is one combined Coach/Parent Hybrid session—not separate coaching and parenting sessions.

    Text and email check-ins are intended for brief program-related questions. They do not include unlimited messaging, immediate responses, emergency support, or 24-hour access to Coach Mike.

  • Helping make mindset coaching accessible to athletes who could benefit from it.

    The Main Event Mindset Scholarship Program is a community-supported program designed to help youth athletes access mindset coaching when financial assistance would make participation possible.

    Scholarship consideration begins with a referral from a third-party coach who knows the athlete and can speak to the athlete's character, effort, needs, and potential fit for the program.

    The parent or guardian and athlete must acknowledge the referral before it is reviewed.

    Scholarship assistance may provide full or partial support for the 6-Week Athlete Mindset Program depending on available funding, athlete readiness, program fit, scheduling availability, and individual review.

    A referral does not guarantee scholarship approval.

    Individuals, businesses, teams, organizations, and community members may also contact Main Event Mindset about contributing to scholarship-supported access. Contributions should not be assumed to be tax-deductible unless Main Event Mindset provides written confirmation of tax-exempt status.
