I’m here to help high-performers build true joy, so that they can perform even higher.

Dear Player,

My name is Ben. You don’t know me. You’ve never heard of me. 

And, I imagine you get a lot of letters and emails from fans and promoters all wanting something. I am not one of those. 

I am not wealthy or famous, nor do I care that you are. 

In some ways, I am similar, I do want something. 

But not fame or fan fare or fortune or attention. 

All I want is a few minutes of your time. 

As a top-tier, high-performing athlete, you are required to be in top-peak, physical condition, with skills unmatched. 

There are those who can train you physically - how to exercise, shoot, run, defend, lift weights, strength train, and eat right. Those all matter. 

But have you given much thought to your emotions? I’m not talking about just mindset or a positive attitude - although those are a part of it. 

I mean, knowing what to do with intense emotions when they come along? 

Really tuning in to how you’re feeling? 

And managing those emotions?

Some people choose to bury them. Others choose to simply…react. But neither of these are effective. 

And pretty soon, if we don’t address them, it can lead to breakdown, or to an eruption. 

Even worse, it can lead to family trouble, marriage and relationship problems, substance use, destructive habits, or of course, financial ruin. 

This is where I come in. 

I’m an emotional intelligence coach. 

Think of me like a personal trainer…but for one’s emotions.

I don’t care if you’re famous, or well-known. I don’t care that you’re a pro basketball player. That’s great and all. I’m happy for you, and I do love basketball. 

But you already likely have people telling you how great you are. 

You already have people there to stroke your ego, or carry your bags, or do whatever else. 

What I care about is helping a few high-performers at a time to better handle their emotions, and find true joy, so that they can not only be high-performers on the court, but high-performing people as well.

You might be asking, since I don’t have a huge fanbase, nor am I well-known, why work with me in the first place, I don’t even know you.

And, you’re right, I don’t. 

Nor would I bother giving advice to somebody who I don’t know or know nothing about. 

And so, my reason for writing is that I am interested in interviewing NBA players to better understand many of the mental and emotional pressures and challenges that go into being a professional basketball player. 

I’m Not going to pitch you anything, or sell you anything. I just want to hear your story.

If the vibe is good, we can maybe go from there. If not, then you’ll have helped me to better understand the life of a pro-athlete. 

Sound fair?
