The gap families feel during the season

Who helps your athlete handle what the game brings out of them?

After a bad game, role change, injury, or conflict with a coach, parents often know something is wrong without knowing what will actually help.

“My child is carrying something, but they will not talk to me.”
“One mistake or one coach’s decision can change their confidence for days.”
“Sports are becoming too connected to their identity and self-worth.”
The goal is not to replace the parent or coach.

The goal is to give the athlete another trusted, qualified voice who can help them slow down, process honestly, respond biblically, and take ownership.

Athlete processing pressure during the season
Pressure becomes a training ground when athletes learn how to process it with truth, perspective, and a repeatable response.

What changes when the athlete has a system

Pressure still comes. Their response gets stronger.

Mentally Elite is designed to help athletes move from reactive, performance-controlled patterns toward intentional, truth-centered habits they can use during sports and beyond sports.

Before the system

The season controls the athlete.

  • Confidence rises and falls with the last performance
  • Mistakes create frustration, negative body language, and more mistakes
  • Hard conversations turn into shutdown or defensiveness
  • Playing time, rankings, and opinions become personal identity
After intentional formation

The athlete learns to own their response.

  • Self-worth stays steadier when performance, playing time, or praise changes
  • One mistake is less likely to hijack the next play, practice, or day
  • Pressure is identified, processed, and turned into a clear next action
  • Communication becomes calmer, more honest, and more responsible
  • Preparation, recovery, and accountability become disciplined—not mood dependent

Tiffany Patmon, women’s division leader

For female athletes

Women’s division leadership shaped by elite experience and faith.

Tiffany Patmon — 2014 WNBA Champion, two-time All-American, and Big 12 Alumni Council member — helps shape the female-athlete experience around faith, confidence, leadership, identity, and purpose.

The fit conversation clarifies exactly who will work directly with your athlete and how parent communication works before enrollment.

Proof beyond performance

Parents notice the difference in who their athlete is becoming.

The proof is who the athlete is becoming when the season gets hard.

My son was poured into in ways that went far beyond football. Tyler strengthened his identity as an atypical athlete, equipped him with mental and spiritual resilience, and taught him how to fuel his body and mind with intention. He grew in his relationship skills and gained real professional development experience that rivals corporate training.

After working with Coach Patmon, I recognize that my mind has definitely been expanded. I am proud to say that I have elevated my daily routine and that my mental stability is stronger than ever before.
Tamir HuntClass of 2025
Coach Patmon helped me mature spiritually and personally. It strengthened my relationship with Christ, taught me how to manage my life with discipline and intention, and showed me how to pursue athletics without letting it define me. I’m not just developing as an athlete—I’m growing into the man God is calling me to be.

The 13-week experience

A full season of support designed to change how your athlete responds.

Your athlete does not just learn concepts. Each week they process real situations, practice a better response, receive accountability, and build tools they can use when the next hard moment comes.

Every week

Private mentorship

So your athlete has somewhere productive to go with the hard moments.

30-45 minutes, one-on-one. Your athlete gets a trusted space to process what happened that week, understand what is driving their response, and leave with a specific tool and next action instead of carrying the frustration into the next practice or game.

Every week

Small-group formation

So the tools become practiced habits—not ideas they heard once.

45 minutes with the cohort. Athletes learn and practice the mental, relational, and leadership skills they need under pressure—while realizing they are not the only ones navigating expectations, mistakes, comparison, adversity, and identity.

Throughout the season

Parent guidance

So you can support their growth without carrying the entire burden yourself.

You receive practical guidance so you are not left guessing what to say, when to challenge, when to listen, and how to reinforce growth at home without becoming another coach or adding more pressure.

What they build

Eight capabilities that matter when the pressure is real.

IdentitySeparate worth from performance.
Thought disciplineRecognize and redirect unhelpful thinking.
Mistake recoveryReset faster instead of spiraling.
CommunicationRespond with maturity to parents, coaches, and teammates.
HabitsBuild routines that do not depend on mood.
Adversity responseTurn setbacks into a clear next action.
LeadershipCarry themselves with ownership and influence.
AccountabilityFollow through on commitments consistently.

What they leave with

A personal system they can keep using after the season ends.

  • A personalized Athlete Playbook built around their triggers, habits, values, and response tools
  • Reset routines they can use after mistakes, conflict, disappointment, or pressure
  • Language and strategies for communicating with parents, coaches, and teammates
  • A 90-day continuation plan so the growth does not end when the cohort does

Fit + parent trust

The athlete must want the growth. The parent should know the boundaries.

A strong fit

  • Competitive athlete, generally ages 14–18
  • The athlete personally agrees to participate
  • The athlete can attend consistently and accept accountability
  • The parent wants development—not guaranteed playing time or recruiting outcomes

What parents should know

  • Parents receive participation updates, development themes, and support recommendations
  • Private mentorship is not a replacement for the parent or coach
  • Mentally Elite is non-clinical and does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions
  • The fit call clarifies schedule, communication, safety, scope, and who works directly with the athlete

Not a fit: an athlete being forced to participate, a family seeking crisis treatment, or anyone expecting guaranteed playing time, recruiting, or scholarships.

Questions families ask

Frequently asked questions

Is this therapy or counseling?

No. Mentally Elite is non-clinical mentorship, mental-performance, and holistic athlete development. It does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions or replace licensed care.

Does my athlete need to be struggling?

No. The program is also designed for athletes who are doing well but need stronger systems for identity, discipline, leadership, communication, and pressure response.

Will parents know what is discussed?

Parents receive participation information, general development themes, support recommendations, and any concern requiring responsible adult involvement—not a transcript of every private conversation.

What if my athlete already works with a counselor or sports psychologist?

Mentally Elite may complement professional care when roles and boundaries are clear. Relevant support relationships should be discussed during the fit process.

Does scheduling a fit call commit us to paying?

No. The application and fit call are qualification steps. Payment is made only after acceptance.

Need financial assistance? Request sponsorship consideration. Want to help another athlete? Sponsor an athlete.

The application is the first step

Give your athlete more than advice after the hard moments. Give them a system before the next one comes.

Start with the parent application. Qualified families are invited to a 30-minute fit conversation before any enrollment decision or payment.

Pressure is coming. The goal is to make sure your athlete has truth, tools, accountability, and a trusted response system when it does.
