“Learning Mental Performance Skills from The unTrained Mind has truly changed the way I approach playing the game of volleyball. It has gifted me the opportunity to tap into a side of performance that I did not know I needed. It has taken my game from good to great. The book has revolutionized how I perform and set me apart from my competition in ways that have allowed me to play at such a high level. Without the book, I would be unable to perform to the level I am able to today.”

Chris Lamb, Head Coach Wichita State Volleyball
“Having Carl in our gym brought a perspective to our athletes and staff that enhanced our season in so many ways, evidenced by the way we started and finished. With Carl you know you're going to get complete buy in from athletes and staff with them leaving totally invested in The unTrained Mind. Our entire program received everything Carl offered and have continued to use his dialogue and cues throughout the fall and now into our spring season.”

“Coach Ferreira taught me that your mind is programmed to default to what is comfortable, and The unTrained Mind workbook teaches you how to challenge yourself to be unconfortable. Find what’s in the unknown because that is when you learn and grow the most. Set achievable goals, visualize, self-talk, and refocus your energy on things in the present moment. Life is not easy; use mental performance toolls to you’ve gathered to be the BEST YOU. WIN THE DAY!!”

Tim Ruiz, Fresno Pacific University Baseball
“Throughout my career I’ve overlooked the importance of the mental side of my sport. Since meeting with Coach Ferreira I’ve looked like a completely different pitcher from the entirety of my career. My coaches have noticed and made comments that I look confident and now I have an intimidating presence on the mound. The way I talk to myself has drastically improved and I have a clearer mind when I’m on the mound. Not only has Coach Ferreira improved my game, he’s also checked up on me numerous times to see how I am doing. ”

Kenzie Villalvazo, Bakersfield College Volleyball
“The Mental Performance Core Principles in the The unTrained Mind workbook helped me more than I ever could have imagined. Learning how to train my mind to think consciously not only helped me grow as a human being, it helped me learn how to control my thoughts and my days rather than letting my thoughts control me. Learning how to talk to myself rather than listen to myself has allowed me to have more confidence in myself and accomplish more of my goals”

Octavio Romero, Bakersfield College Golf
“My goal was to quit overthinking on the golf course, and just go out there and play how I know I can. Before working with Coach Ferreira, I didn’t know how to control my mind and I would get lost in my own thoughts on the course and just start overthinking. Coach Ferreira talked to me about not missing mentally, and he helped me find on course routines that worked, and my scores have been improving and I’m playing more consistently.”

Ashlee Kresha, Garces High School Golf
“Coach Ferreira has improved my mentality. He taught me how to W.I.N. and keep my composure while playing on ther course completely. My mentality has strengthened over the past few months to where I would not be scared or nervous about leading a tournament and just living in the experience. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to gain knowledge from him.”
