"It is difficult as a parent to watch your child get frustrated, deflated and ultimately defeated while participating in activities that they have so much passion toward. When Stix started playing sports, he excelled emotionally and physically, he looked forward to participating in anything athletic!! As his level of play increased, so did the competition, he then became aware of individual stats which ultimately led to internal bashing of personal imperfections on the field, which turned into "I quit because I am not perfect!" Each game we walked into was like walking on eggshells, if Stix struck out, his entire world would fall to pieces, he truly didn't know how to get past any error, no matter how small or insignificant. We as parents were in a constant vicious cycle of healing, mending, and picking up the pieces of a child that loved the game, but couldn't manage his emotions toward himself. He was mentally broken, his passions weren't lost, but is heart was tapped out for what his brain was telling him he couldn't overcome. The ability was always there, it was his mind that was holding him back. Once the downward spiral began, we knew it was time for help! After weekly sessions with Matt, we have noticed Stix's spark has turned into a raging fire!! He has a brand new set of coping skills, not only on the field, but in the classroom and at home. After each meeting with Matt, Stix is thrilled to discuss what he learned and how he is planning on implementing these techniques moving forward. Matt has taught my son how to get past the errors, fight through the challenges, learn from mistakes and truly embrace a positive mindset. This program is truly a "game changer", we would beyond recommend Matt to friends, family, colleagues and teammates!
