Feedback from athletes, coaches, and parents of athletes .
I was truly blessed to have gotten the opportunity to work with Jimmy. He helped me get out of the slump I was in. We went over various methods to help me relax and realize that wrestling doesn’t control my life as I once thought it did. He showed me there is life outside of wrestling and in order to excel and accomplish my goals, I needed to relax, have fun, and reward myself. He has helped me outside of my sport as well, and he continues to help me today even though we are several states away.

We are back from a national tournament. You would be incredibly proud of her! Two of her victories were in sudden death overtime. She was calm, determined, and resilient the whole competition! Most of all, I got to see a smile on her face! She was enjoying the process. She is a different girl out there.
Thank you!

Our team valued the work we did with Jimmy this season. He is versatile and has a great demeanor as he leads our athletes through important conversations and explorations. The psychological edge is critical to developing successful and happy students and athletes. I look forward to his work with our team next season!"

Jimmy, our work with relaxation techniques have helped to keep me calm and focused in-between events at competition.
High School Gymnast
Jimmy, our sessions have helped me to recognize that mistakes are not the end of the world. To improve my game, I have to be willing to challenge myself by practicing things that are uncomfortable and risk making mistakes. While this was hard at first, it has made practice and games challenging (in a good way) and fun!

Jimmy, thanks for helping me to recognize how my self-talk was bringing down my attitude and ability to compete. I now feel confident about each shot I take and I know I have what it takes to compete with the best!

“Jimmy Yoo has helped shape our volleyball team’s mental toughness throughly. His ability to listen, comfort our players and share useful techniques has enhanced our team’s compatibility as friends and teammates. He has challenged our comfort zone and pushed us to stretch our “mental muscles.” We are forever grateful for the help that Jimmy has provided us and we will continue to seek his guidance and support!”

Jimmy, when I first came to you, I realized that I was completely burnt out. You helped me to re-energize and rekindle my competitive fire. Training and comps are fun again!

I really like the work you did with our volleyball team the past three seasons! Your leadership assessments and activities were extremely helpful for learning about myself as well as my teammates, and in finding ways to work together. It really helped us to understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and to remember that each member of our team serves a purpose and it is important.
I liked your teambuilding activities as well because it gave our team opportunities to talk to each other and the coaches in a safe way, with your guidance. It allowed us to acknowledge the things that everyone did well, as well as areas that they could improve.
Lastly, I liked your talk on fight or flight and how it is seen in athletics. I think you are a great facilitator and I have learned a lot from you about leadership, communication, managing emotions, and conflict management and resolution.

Hi Jimmy! Thank you for all of your help! I use to be so emotional before and during match play. Now that I take more time to focus on things in my control, my emotions are more in check!
High School Tennis Player
We had a lot of excitement at my son’s last national tournament!
He was able to fence patiently and confidently in the pools. There were quite a few “A” rated fencers in his pool and he managed to beat them all.
All the bouts were close but each time he managed to come back from behind and then win the tie! Thanks again for all the work you have put in with our son!
Parent of a Competitive High School Fencer
Jimmy, I just wanted to let you know that my daughter placed 1st and 2nd in her events at State. It was a really exciting meet! She was determined and swam hard! Most of all, our little girl was smiling and just having fun! Thank you!
Parent of a High School Swimmer
Jimmy, I appreciate your time and energy! You have made me realize that when I go into the ring to fight, I represent more than just me, I represent all the people that helped me train, keep me healthy, and prepare for my opponent. When I focus on my team, I feel a sense of pride that fuels me to fight with confidence and determination.
Professional MMA Fighter and Coach
Jimmy, until my daughter starting working with you, she did not realize how her early commitment to a D-I college program had caused her to add more stress and expectation to perform. With your help, she has come to realize the importance of focusing on "What's Important Now." As a result, she is playing each game and each practice by just focusing on the moment, celebrating her successes, and learning from her mistakes. She is happy again and I her competitive fire has returned!

WORKING WITH YOU
Sport psychology is an educational process that uses scientific research, philosophy, and techniques to help athletes and high achievers learn to perform at their best. It is not a magic pill that just makes you better. As an athlete, you can’t look for the quick fix.
Jimmy applies his knowledge of sport psychology and practical experiences to help athletes and high achievers develop and practice new skills so that they can make positive changes, move toward their potential, and have fun.
INDIVIDUAL SESSION
Dedicated athletes spend countless hours physically preparing for competition. However, seldom do they set aside the necessary time to mentally prepare.
Jimmy is here to help you create a balance between mind and body so that you can achieve consistency and develop mastery.
Individual sessions help athletes and high achievers reduce stress by having a confidential place to process challenges.
TEAM SESSIONS
“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.” – Babe Ruth
Jimmy works with teams to help them identify strengths that individuals bring to the team and how they can become better leaders.
Jimmy also helps teams improve their culture to build stronger team cohesion.
Favorite part of working with a team: During team building exercises it is great to see athletes communicating in a positive and constructive manner. If a team has really built a strong sense of trust, you can see that athletes understand their role on the team and leaders emerge from the group.
