Athlete Testimonials

"Coach B was so great to work with. He worked with our softball program, and he really helped them grow and develop in a short amount of time. He teaches skills that are practical and relatable and they definitely help out a ton with not only on the field and softball, but day-to-day life and how to get through hard times, which is going on a lot right right. We are excited to keep working with coach B. He is proven to be helpful in all areas of life, and Coach B was definitely a home run for us."

"At first, I wasn't sure how this was going to help me, to be honest. I was referred by a good friend (Jeff Weimer), but after my first meeting with coach B, it changed everything for me. I'm a full-time student, 3-sport athlete and class president, so learning how to manage my daily schedule was big for me. He also helped me look at the little picture instead of the big picture all the time, to take the little wins during the day and throughout the week. Probably the biggest thing I took away was learning how to listen. Being a team captain for each team I play on, coach B taught me that the great leaders listen more than they speak. I am forever grateful for all I've learned from coach B."

"Since working with coach B as my mental performance coach, I have learned clarity. Having complete clarity in my vision and my goals of knowing how I'm going to attack and pursue them. Probably the biggest thing I took away was learning how to talk to myself. I've learned to talk to myself in a more positive and affirming way. Instead of doubting myself so much. I learned how to have plan when things don't go how I want them to go. This allowed a lot of anxiety and stress to be lifted off my shoulders, because I could just focus on the process and not overthink so much. These tools I've learned form coach B has not only allowed me to grow as a college athlete, but grow as a person."

"My coaching staff and I took so much from coach Berlanga's presentation. He spent the time to speak and present to my coaching staff and I with encouragement, experience, knowledge and humility. He taught us what it means to be a coach and the responsibilities and privilege that comes with this title. There will come a time every team or athlete will need someone like coach Berlanga to help them take that next step and get to the next level as a team or individually. Coach B was my college teammate, I was his assistant coach at Gonzales H.S., a mentor, and good friend along my journey. I cannot say enough or appreciate coach B enough for being a positive role model to not only athletes and students, but to coaches and adults."

"Coach B taught me so many new ways to approach not only the football field, but every day life. He showed me that there is more to your preparation than just the physical part, the hard work, the 2-3 workouts a day. You have to check-in and train your mind just like your body. Now, I speak to myself more positively and  I know how to get my mind right when I'm struggling or when things don't go my way. This helped me to control my anxiety and stress that comes with the pressures of the game and what I put on myself to be the best I can be. If you ain't working with coach B, you are missing out on being the best you can be."

"Having Coach B as my mental performance coach has taught me how important and powerful my mindset is and where it needs to be on a daily basis. I am a international CrossFit competitor, so I've learned that weightlifting at this level is just as mental as it is physical. One huge takeaway I learned was how to talk to myself. I have a lot of self-doubt and negative thoughts that creep inside my head before and during my competitions and it makes me very anxious. Coach B taught me that talking to myself needs to be practiced just like anything else."
