No. 1
You are more than you believe you are.
The beliefs holding someone back aren’t permanent. Once they’re identified and removed, real change becomes visible and fast.
About Steven Griffith
I trained my whole life to help you be AT YOUR A-GAME®
Steven Griffith is a performance coach, author, and researcher who has spent over 25 years helping elite athletes and leaders of all ages perform at their highest level. He has coached more than 40 current NFL players, athletes from the NBA, NHL, and MLB, Olympic athletes, executives, and military leaders.
“Athletes, you are more than you believe you are, and every athlete needs someone in their corner to help them see just that. I know I did…”
-Steven Griffith, Founder of A-GAME COACHING
Steven’s non-negotiable beliefs
These beliefs fuel the power of A-Game READY® coaching & programs
No. 2
We do it ourselves, but never do it alone.
You may walk this path of change yourself, but that doesn’t mean you’re walking that path alone. We need a community and people to empower us.
No. 3
Time is the most important relationship.
Change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when someone takes control of how they spend their time, energy, and attention.
No. 4
I want you to feel safe to be yourself here.
Before any tool or technique is implemented it is critical for any athlete or a young athlete to feel safe enough to be honest about what’s happening.
No. 5
I’ll be your mirror, to help you see where to change.
Most of what holds an athlete back is invisible to them from the inside. My job is to reflect it back clearly and without judgment, so you can see the pattern for yourself and decide what you want to change.

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.
Yes. Schools, teams, and programs can license A-GAME content for their athletes, parents, and coaches. Reach out to us through the site, and we will get back to you about how we can help your team, school, or organization.
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.
