What my pro athletes see over time

Coaching built around one athlete — you

Life Support

build skills that outlast the sport

Whatever happens with your career, what you build here carries into business, relationships, and life after the game.

Performance

Compete With Confidence When It Counts

You stop playing scared and start playing free — performing at your best when the stakes are highest.

Mindset Training

Get Out of Slumps Without the Guesswork

When something’s off, you’ll have the tools to find it and fix it — not just push through and hope.

Emotional Growth

build your emotional capacity for pressure

Less frustration, less shutting down, less hiding it. You learn to regulate and respond, not react.

How coaching works

The Athlete’s Journey With Me

This isn’t a coaching style that forces an end date on you. This is a relationship built around who you are, where you want to go, and what’s quietly been holding you back.

Step No. 1

fill out the application online

Not everyone would be a best fit for the process of 1-on-1 coaching. It isn't about what works and doesn't work, it's about what you're willing to do in order to transform your life.

What Makes a Qualified Athlete?

Quote from Kai-Imi, Top NFL Kicker

“I knew from the discovery that steven was going to help me change.”

Step No. 2

begin key onboarding & discovery

An assessment on what is driving the dysfunction that you are dealing with, and what we need to work on to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

  • Legacy and identity interview — who do you want to be remembered as
  • Identify your strengths and the beliefs holding you back
  • Map your values, your why, and your performance gap
  • Begin rewriting your belief system from the ground up

Steven Griffith’s Core Philisophy

“i’m here to help you bridge the gap: of where you are and where you want to be.

Step No. 3

begin active coaching, closing the gap

I'm available 24/7 for your performance training and for your life needs. We build the bridge between where you are and where you want to be — immediately.

  • Pre-Performance routine built around how you actually operate.
  • RPM gauge — read and regulate your nervous system
  • Mindfulness and presence for high pressure moments

Franchon Crews-Dezurn, WBO Champion

“When i put his pre-PERFORMANCE track on, i feel like i am ALREADY a winner before i begin a match”

Step No. 4

Measure progress. Watch things shift.

I track what's working and adjust through the relationship we continue to build together. Athletes who commit to this see real changes in performance, confidence, and communication faster than they expected. This is where we start building consistent skills.

  • Self-compassion — how to be in your own corner
  • Learn how to receive feedback better
  • Post-performance evaluation that compresses time
  • Communication with coaches and teammates
  • Values, purpose, and the why that sustains performance

Off the Clock, Caesar Milan, The Dog Whisperer

“i use the tools steven has taught me every day. i teach them in my own workshops”

Step No. 5

You perform differently. You live differently.

Once you've built the base of skills, we transition into a more maintenance approach. I become a sounding board available when you need me, not hovering when you don't. This is what it means to have someone truly in your corner. 

  • A belief system that works for you, not against you
  • Tools to regulate, reset, and perform under any pressure
  • I’m Available 24/7 however you need.
  • Less frequent sessions — you lead, I support
  • A relationship with time and self-worth that outlasts the sport

You’ve maybe never hired a mindset coach, so what makes a good one?

what makes a good mindset coach anyway?

Your student athlete

a good mindset coach

be a tom delaney for one person, because he changed my life.

A great mindset coach is someone who knows what it’s like to need a coach.

be a tom delaney for one person, because he changed my life.

At eighteen, after football, Steven wanted to box. His coach Tom Delaney was the first person who actually saw him — not just his potential as an athlete, but him. Tom was compassionate, present, and showed Steven what it looked like to have someone genuinely in your corner, inside the ring and out...

  • 25+ years and 25,000+ hours

    Two decades teaching mindfulness, plus Timefulness® — his own work on performance and time.
