Our Founding Story

Time and time again, Rich Mihelic would see athletes he trained privately make game time mistakes they never made in training or practice. He knew there had to be a solution to his players' frustrations.

Rich brought in his sister Holly, a mind & energy coach, to begin working with his players. The results these athletes experienced after just one session with Holly were literally game-changing.

Together, Rich and Holly developed a method to allow any and every player seeking support to find the answers and reasoning to elevate their confidence, power and success.

THAT METHOD IS MENTAL GRIT.
