Speech Seminar Reviews!
"Cole was dynamic and engaging as he led our student-athletes through the discovery of what is typically the missing link in athletics and life, the mental game! In his jam packed seminar, Cole touched on lessons and examples that resonated with our teenage athletes and assisted them in beginning to create a growth mindset that will undoubtedly benefit them in all aspects of their lives. Thanks Cole!"
— Matt Harrod (Athletic Director, Concord High)
“I could tell that it came from a place of experience which made me relate to him more and really trust what he said. He told us that it was his first live in-person speech which I was surprised by because he seemed very comfortable and it was apparent that he had taken time to perfect his speech. It was a great speech and really helped me with my mental game especially for the games I had previously that week. It was very helpful information and would love appearances like this again and maybe like the next step from what was shared in this meeting.”
— Holly Hopkins
“Coach Cole’s speech was very inspirational. It was very engaging and powerful. I took a lot of his quotes to heart and thought they were very good :). I can see how all of the things told will help me grow into a better athlete. I learned how to have better confidence in myself and how to work with my thoughts, creating space from them so I can take my power back.”
— JD Hopkins
“I really loved they way Coach Cole brought the crow into his speech asking questions and talking about topics that are related to us. I learned how to always have a clean and clear mind as well as useful tips to stay calm to perform better and live a better life, on and off the court.”
— Hunter Wasserman
“It helped me a lot to calm down during my games. I am always super nervous before but I feel like now I will be more calmed and confident. One thingI learned and will be taking away from this event is the idea of how to“identity and direct” with out thoughts. I feel like that part of the speech helped me a lot to ease my nerves.”

“Coach Cole led an engaging session with the team, offering valuable insight on how to strengthen team connection and mental performance.”
— Solano College Men’s Basketball
“The speech was very great. It was educational but also very fun and engaging. Coach Cole did an excellent job of explaining ways to manipulate our mind and how to stay calm during games. He provided us with great examples and tools that we can take into our daily life on and use to be more intentional with our mental before going into our performance. The biggest thing I’ll take to heart is that that “you are not your thoughts you are the observer of them”.Ten out of ten speech, very fun to listen to.”
— Ruben Vasquez Jr.
“The speech was great. Coach Cole was very well spoken and I learned a lot. I liked how he was saying jokes while also keeping it serious because it kept the speech entertaining. I never really thought this much about mental health in sports before until yesterday. I will definitely be taking this into my performance.”
— Anthony Hoshida
“Coach Cole gave us a great speech experience. I had a wonderful time listening and getting to know him after the speech was over. I also learned a lot of new life skills I can implement to my day to day life moving forward.”
— Dawson Wood
“The speaker was very straight forward with what he was saying and was funny at times as well, allowing us to be comfortable and relaxed while in a learning environment. I enjoyed it. One thing that I will take away is when he said “To not put your success in the hands of someone else.” That is a very important thing when it comes to sports and something I struggle with as well as an athlete.”
