About Coach Dave
For over 20 years, I have dedicated my life to coaching, training, and developing athletes—not just physically, but mentally. As a Certified Mental Performance Coach, former AllAmerican basketball player, and seasoned coach at the high school, college, and youth levels, I understand firsthand the demands, pressures, and challenges that athletes face. I’ve seen incredible talent struggle due to self-doubt, fear of failure, and mental roadblocks, and I’ve made it my mission to change that.
My passion for mental performance coaching comes from my own journey—experiencing both the highs of success and the lows of adversity. I know what it feels like to be in the spotlight, to deal with expectations, and to navigate setbacks. Through it all, I discovered that mental toughness, confidence, and focus are what separate good athletes from great ones. And now, I help athletes unlock their full potential by training their minds as much as their bodies.

Unlocking the Mental Edge for Athletes
At Purpose Driven Athlete, I work with youth, high school, and college athletes, providing them with the mental tools needed to thrive under pressure, build confidence, and develop an unshakable mindset. Whether it’s preparing for big moments, overcoming performance anxiety, or learning to refocus after mistakes, my goal is to equip athletes with strategies that will serve them not just in sports, but in life.
Through one-on-one coaching, group training, and exclusive membership programs, I help athletes reframe challenges, develop mental resilience, and create a championship mindset. I believe that every athlete has the potential to rise above their struggles, find their edge, and perform at their highest level.
No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to help you train your mind, build yourconfidence, and take your game to the next level. If you’re ready to step up, let’s get to work!
