She came to Steven having just lost her super middleweight titles, with her championship legacy on the line and a fight against undefeated Shadasia Green ahead of her.
The work centred on reinstalling confidence and resilience, and using the A-GAME System to regulate mind and emotion under the most extreme pressure in sport.
Franchón regained the WBC Super Middleweight World Championship and stands among the few fighters to have held all four major super middleweight world titles.
“I have had many coaches in my college and professional career and Steven is truly one of the best. His compassionate straightforward style really resonated with me. The coaching strategies and tools had an immediate impact on my mental focus and performance on and off the field.”

A multi-year NFL veteran, First-Team All-American and Lou Groza Award winner — and still not as consistent as he wanted to be mid-season in 2021. He knew elite performance meant training the mind as intentionally as the body.
The work sharpened his focus and confidence, reconnected him to his deeper purpose, and gave him a practical system to regulate his state under pressure. Within weeks it showed up on the field.
Ka'imi has spent every season since at the top of the league, leading the NFL in field goal percentage and becoming the Texans' all-time leading scorer.

Working with Steven on his mindset
She came to Steven in her senior year of high school aiming at Division I. She understood the next level took more than talent — it took confidence, focus, and performing under pressure with recruiters watching.
The work focused on mindfulness and meditation, performance routines, self-compassion and communication skills — maximizing her as an athlete and as a student.
Mikalyn started as a freshman at the University of San Diego, became the Toreros' primary right fielder, and earned a full scholarship after her first season.
“I have always had the dream of playing Division I softball in college, and now it’s a reality. I knew I was talented but felt I could use more confidence. Steven helped me increase my confidence and positive self-talk. Most importantly, he helped me learn to give myself grace, or in Steven’s words, ‘self-compassion,’ when I would mentally beat myself up. On and off the field, I now have tools to manage stress, stay positive and confident, and balance the demands of being a student-athlete.”

A 15-year-old freshman whose parents reached out for help building his confidence. In his first evaluation he named the gaps himself: self-confidence, positive inner dialogue, focus and consistency.
The work built confidence, strengthened his inner dialogue, and created consistent pre-performance routines. Carter applied the tools immediately, on and off the field.
Carter earned a Division I baseball scholarship as a pitcher at California Baptist University, after four years of compounding mental work.
“Working with Steven has been great! I’m more mindful, focused, and confident on the field. What I like most about the coaching is that Steven is always in my corner and positive when he works with me, helping me see how I can continue to improve.”

Helping you identify and connect to your true purpose and deep motivation to be your best.
Helping everyone is my mission
Steven was selected to mentally prepare over 35 prospects for the highest-stakes eight weeks of their careers — interviews with owners, GMs and head coaches, not just the 40. The results: several first-round selections and multiple picks in rounds 2–5.
“We brought Steven in to help our 2022 NFL pre-combine training camp players maximize their mindset for the combine. As a former athlete himself and a performance expert, he was able to really relate and connect with our guys, providing them useable tools and tactics to maximize their performance. More than that, he is deeply passionate and truly cares about helping athletes be their best on and off the field.”
The A-GAME System was selected as the performance coaching partner for César Millan's programs. Before participants could lead a dog, they had to regulate themselves — energy, emotion, body language. Proof the method travels well beyond sport.

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.
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.
