Testimonials
“Ethan’s peak performance program was the perfect way for our teams to dig deeper into the mental side of the sport. At a time when our physical training was limited due to the pandemic, our weekly sessions with Ethan were a great opportunity to stay connected from afar and continue to grow as individual tennis players and as a team. His regular check-ins throughout the week, combined with the teams’ “lunchbox” assignments furthered team connectedness and helped solidify our meditation practice. And perhaps even more than any tennis-specific benefits, the teams came away from the program with stress management tools and a broadened perspective that has been a huge asset to them off the court as they continue to navigate these uniquely challenging times.”

“As a coach, I am always seeking ways to enhance our training program and support our student-athletes in their holistic development. Introducing Bmindful into our program has made a very positive impact on our team's resilience and cohesion. Their mindfulness training has deepened our athletes' self-awareness and strengthened the bond among teammates. It has also improved focus and presence in daily tasks, while providing essential skills for handling adversity. I recommend Bmindful to any athletic program looking to enhance both individual and team development.”

“bmindful offers a product that will soon become the norm in collegiate athletic departments. They foster a safe and inclusive environment for student-athletes to cultivate their mental wellness and health. They've helped our tennis program improve with emotional awareness, being vulnerable, maintaining discipline, finding balance, uprooting judgmental thoughts, and loving ourselves, to name a few.”

“Working with bmindful team provides us tools to perform in high pressure moments. We are shown various techniques on how to control the mind, stay present and lock in. Focusing on our flow state was instrumental in our success last season. The list of tools bmindful shares with us is endless. They have a unique ability to customize workshops based on our team’s needs. They listen, reflect , and help us implement tools and strategies to use on the field to let go and play free. I’ve been coaching for over two decades and each time I spend with them I learn, grow, and become a better leader. Thanks Ethan Eric and Team!!”

“There are so many lessons and skills that our team (and coaches!) will take with us from Ethan’s practice that will improve our mental training beyond just the field. This practice has been the missing piece for our program and will be a huge strength for us on our journey to win a championship and beyond.”

“The 50-minute sessions once a week were opportunities for the team to connect and grow as a unit while learning tools and skills that were helpful to them on and off of the cross-country course. The sessions also gave me material and content to add to my daily coaching and interactions with student-athletes. I became more aware of my words and actions as a coach, and this bled over into my roles outside of coaching of being a teacher, a husband, and a father. We could always race full gas, but working on controlling the ‘controllables’ and staying focused and present were new to us. The season was special for the boy's team, ending with the first Massachusetts Division 2 State Championship in school history. Even after our programming and the season ended, anyone watching our student-athletes compete throughout the track season could see reminders of the impact that bmindful had on the team: most runners were still writing positive messages with Sharpie on their hands and wrists on race day, with reminders like "Breathe" or "Focus" making consistent appearances. And a year later, that is still happening! bmindful has given both the coaches and the student-athletes in our program the tools needed to be their best selves every day!”

“The bmindful program has been a tremendous asset to our team. The coaches do a great job of presenting the information in a way that really speaks to the athletes of today and makes them want to invest in their meditation practice and themselves. Working with bmindful has brought our team closer together, helped our players trust one another, and helped us compete with more purpose and clarity. We've gained so much from our experience and know that working with bmindful would be an extremely positive and beneficial experience for any team.”

“We have really enjoyed working with Ethan and his mindfulness program. The meditation practice and overall program has helped our student-athletes tremendously both on and off the court. It has allowed our team to stay present, focused, and deal better with adversity. The program has been very beneficial in developing our team's mindset into a big asset and I couldn’t recommend Ethan and bmindful more!

“bmindful has been a great asset for our tennis team this year. We were able to talk about the things that mattered that sometimes we couldn’t discuss before. Ethan and the bmindful staff really broke down barriers in a positive light and we couldn’t be more happy with where our team is heading!”

“bmindful taught our team how to self-reflect, have compassion for themselves and others, and how to embrace failures and focus on the controllables. Being a student-athlete is one of the toughest challenges out there but through mindfulness and meditation, bmindful taught our athletes how they can better overcome their obstacles & reach their goals! I cannot recommend this program enough. Ethan and his team genuinely care about their teams and go above & beyond to tailor their program to benefit you and your athletes!”

“Many of our student-athletes went from being skeptical to making meditation a daily practice. I’m seeing the difference in their approach to training, especially when it’s challenging. In the pressure cooker world of college athletics, rigorous academics and the social ideals we are supposed to live up to, Ethan has given us tools to simply be in the present… and perform at our best.”

“bmindful taught our team to invest in themselves through the use of meditation. We learned the value of self-care through a focus on breathing, stillness, and relaxation. Mindfulness training helps us view our circumstances with greater clarity, calmness, and perspective. Ethan and Sydney did a great job with our program and the team enjoyed the experience.”

“Ethan did a great job of making meditation relatable and accessible to my teams. Having been a collegiate student-athlete, he knows what our players are going through on a day to day basis, and was able to cater his workshops with them with that in mind. I can’t recommend him enough for your organization.”
