Head Coach Michigan State Women's Soccer

"I thought our team culture was strong, but it's incredible how much better it has become from working with Dr. Holton.  His work with our team gave us thought provoking perspective and opportunities to improve communication, understanding, and expectations alongside commitment to further cement some of the pillars in our culture.  There is now a deeper sense of purpose, belief and confidence in all aspects of our student-athlete experiences."​

Gibbs Keeton

Head Coach - UTEP Women’s Soccer

“Our antifragile programming was exactly what we needed to help make incremental changes related to the balance of being a student athlete.  We immediately saw a positive shift in our team each week we came together to discuss topics that aid us on and off the field.  These incremental improvements that put mindfulness at the forefront of what we do have made us more resilient, help us cope in all scenarios, and make student athlete life less overwhelming and more fulfilling. As a staff we hope these small wins lead to victories and become a tool that can help shape our student athletes now and in the future.”

Support for Individual Athletes

We provide integrated coaching on the mental skills, structures and systems that can enhance your performance and fortify you for upcoming challenges.

Professional Partnership

This isn't "life-coaching" with an uninformed, unscientific and inexperienced "coaches". This is rigorous, to-the-point coaching with two highly-trained, vastly experienced performance and well-being experts that can help you fortify for the tough times, integrate all aspects of yourself and thrive more consistently.


Drs. Holton and Wright are science-based, world class coaches that have worked with top performers across a variety of fields like tech, entertainment, professional sports, aerospace, finance, entrepreneurship and more. 

Diverse Approaches

Too many coaches and pie-in-the-sky programs focus on granular aspects of your well-being, performance, or health. Working with two experts side-by-side allows you to benefit from a wide range of expertise, perspectives and approaches not seen in other partnerships, ultimately facilitating greater growth with less wasted time, effort and energy.

Complete Support

Some coaching approaches focus on just asking questions and beating around the bush, waisting your already scare and precious time. Other programs focus teaching and training in a one-size-fits-all model. Few if any provide timeline, ongoing support with exactly what you need at the level of depth you need it.

With Dr. Wright and Dr. Holton you'll have the flexibility to receive coaching, training or timely communications that get to the point and get you what you need. 

Full Focus

Nothing in the world of peak performance, well-being or health is isolated to mental OR physical, body OR mind, internal OR external. So why settled for either/or when you'll see the greatest gains from a both/approach? You shouldn't! That's why we cover 100% of what the science says will make you your best self, mind, body and environment.
