Most athletes train their body and ignore their mind. A-GAME Ready Online Program & A-GAME Coaching change that.
For parents of young athletes to professionals in NFL, NHL, MLB and more.
“I now have tools to manage stress, stay positive, confident, and balance the demands of being a student-athlete on and off the field.”
“Working with Steven has given me, for the first time in my career, a system to consistently perform at my best in high-pressure situations—on and off the field.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the results. He earned a starting role on his varsity baseball team and was ranked number one academically in his class.”
The reality is most athletes and parents of student-athletes focus too heavily on physical training, leaving the mindset training last, and the data is showing the negative effects. You can’t just wait out your mindset problems, you have to train your mind just as you train your body.

Steven is the primary coach and the founder and face of A-GAME. Select programs and group work may include trained team members under his system.
Yes. Steven has international clients, and his coaching is available worldwide—in person, by video, and by phone.
The online program is a structured, self-paced system with monthly group Zoom sessions, one-on-one attention, and access to the online program. One-on-one coaching is personalized, real-time work directly with Steven.
Team and school sports psychologists provide an important service, but they are often responsible for supporting an entire athletic department or organization—sometimes hundreds of athletes. Working with an independent performance coach gives you someone who is dedicated solely to your growth, performance, and goals. You receive personalized coaching, consistent accountability, and strategies tailored specifically to your needs. An outside coach also serves as an objective advocate whose priority is your long-term success—not the interests of a team, school, or organization. Because the relationship is independent, you have a trusted professional focused on helping you perform at your highest level, navigate challenges, and make decisions that are in your best interest both on and off the field.
Steven has been coaching high performers for over 25 years and more than 25,000 hours. A-GAME Coaching was formally established to deliver that experience to athletes, parents, and coaches at all levels.
Taking the online quiz or submitting a one-on-one application on the site is a good place to start, depending on your needs.

No. A-GAME Coaching is performance mindset coaching focused on developing the mental skills needed for confidence, focus, resilience, and peak performance. It is not therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment. Therapy addresses mental health challenges and emotional healing. A-GAME focuses on performance improvement—helping athletes, parents, leaders, and individuals build the mindset, tools, and strategies to consistently perform at their best.
