What athletes, coaches, and parents are saying

  • Hiring Fortitude Mental Performance is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as a Program. Coach Ford and his staff have not only helped our athletes reach their full potential by winning the mental side of the game, but they’ve also helped our coaching staff by teaching us how to be more mentally tough in the face of adversity. I am extremely grateful to be partnered with them and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

  • Brian led us through various sessions that brought the team closer together and made this season more enjoyable. Personally, he boosted my confidence, and as a team, it helped us work towards a common goal. It was invaluable to have someone get the team on the same page about our mindset.

  • Ryan has been absolutely amazing to work with! His kindness, knowledge, and approach make such a difference. My son looks forward to every session and always says, “He gets it.” That connection and understanding mean everything. We’re grateful for the impact he’s making and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares.

    Parent - Denver, Colorado

  • I thought that this program was extremely helpful and one of the best experiences I have had as a student-athlete. I use the practices in and outside of basketball now.

  • It gave me a new perspective on bettering myself in all aspect of my life. It encouraged me to slow down and relax during times of high stress
