"That fun and enjoyment attitude!"
Alex has helped me in so many ways specifically on how I mentally approach competitions. I've been able to find a true purpose and meaning in my sport again learning to stay calm and have that fun and enjoyment attitude. Alex has helped me develop multiple mental strategies before, during, and after competition that are very useful and helpful.

"My confidence was below zero!"
I truly cannot say enough great things about Alex and EMP! Alex worked with me through the Spring season and also helped me work through a challenging coach situation. My confidence was below zero and I couldn't find the fun in [lacrosse]. What a change I saw in me this year. EMP armed me with a toolkit of tactics that I can use in many situations not just in sports but in life. If you are thinking of EMP for you, don't hesitate!!!
