The Mountain Method

The Signature Experience of Mindset Academy

Life is full of mountains. Some you choose. Some choose you.

Growing up as a competitive gymnast, I learned one of life's biggest lessons—not from winning, but from falling.

During one of the biggest competitions of my career, I fell off the balance beam. It wasn't because I lacked the skill. I had practiced that routine hundreds of times.

What failed me wasn't my ability. It was my mindset.

That moment has stayed with me ever since.

When I ran my first marathon in 1999, I unknowingly began a journey that has taken me through marathons, ultramarathons, Badwater, Western States, and more than 25 years of racing and coaching. Today, at 51, I'm still competing, still learning, and still discovering that the biggest challenge is rarely physical.

It's mental.

For more than 25 years, this has been the heart of my coaching.

Yes, I write training plans. We talk about mileage, workouts, nutrition, and race strategy. But the real work often happens between the workouts.

We build confidence. We learn to quiet self-doubt. We practice resilience. We develop the tools to handle setbacks and keep moving forward when life—or race day—doesn't go according to plan.

I've watched athletes achieve things they once believed were impossible—not because they became dramatically fitter, but because they strengthened the mindset that had been inside them all along.

The Mountain Method is the culmination of more than two decades of coaching, competing, learning, and refining the mindset tools I've used to help hundreds of athletes discover they are capable of far more than they ever believed possible.

This isn't about positive thinking.

It's about building a mindset that helps you perform when it matters most—in sport, at work, in leadership, in relationships, and in life.

Because we're all climbing something.
