The Coach Was Right, Oregonian, July 19, 2007
"I was really struggling. I was hitting the ball well, but not scoring. The mental work combined with practice has raised the level of my game. And, I enjoy the game more than I ever have."

"I would get so frustrated that it would linger with me days later. I didn't know how to stay focused and it was interfering with my performance." After a few sessions, she upped her level of play, improved her physical skills and is happier playing because she's more comfortable on the court."

"Before I started working with Mark Henry, I was truly obsessive about basketball. I had trouble relaxing both on and off the court. When I went into a slump, I would become so tense that my game would get progressively worse.
Mark taught me to relax and not take life so seriously. I learned that getting tense only hurts my game. Mark also taught me how to use mental imagery - to visualize the ball going through the hoop so many times that I could instantly forget about any shot that I missed. Now, when I go into a slump, I can pull myself out of it very quickly. My overall game has improved, and I'm a much happier person."

"Brian, I've got bragging rights to share! Jane's soccer team *won* the Gold Division Challenge State Cup tournament! Saturday's semi-final game was very close. Her team played the team that cut her two years ago. Down1-0 in the 2nd half, Jane had a gorgeous shot that just missed. 5 minutes into stoppage time, Jane got a pass and flicked it to a forward. The forward was able to get the ball through the other team's defender's legs and then found herself 1 on 1 with the goalie and she SCORED!!! Tying the game. They then played two 10 or 15 minute overtimes with the score remaining 1-1. Then it was PKs. Jane stepped up and drilled her PK! It was soooooo nice to see her score on her old team.In Sunday's championship game Jane's team won 3-1!YEAH! Jane played the entire game both games. After the win on Saturday, her smile was worth everything! She was soooo happy! Thank you so much!"

"Brian, I just wanted to say that you have done such an outstanding job with Sarah and she has come so far. You have given her confidence in herself and the strength of character to stand up against diversity. You have done everything you have advertised and so much more. I am so proud of how well she is doing. She is now able to talk to her coach without tearing up or being defensive. She has let go of trying to make friends with girls who are not worthy of her friendship and building strong relationships with the girls that are nice. She has gone thru a broken ankle and not been scathed by it. She hasn't come home crying in months.
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do for our family and for making this entire experience worthwhile. She has grown so much with your support."
- Thanks,
Sarah's Mom
