Cal from Rise Above Adversity has been instrumental in diving into the mental aspect of basketball with our Lab46 Academy. His professionalism is second to none. Cal has the ability to share his knowledge with audiences young and old, in a way that is easy to follow. We appreciate your work mate. Thank you!

My daughter reached a point when physical training wasn’t enough. I knew that she had the skills but something else was holding her back. After a bad game, she agreed to find someone to help develop her mental skills. I approached Cal who tailored a plan to help her focus on staying present and trusting herself on the court. After 3 months of working with Cal, my daughter not only improved her performance, but she now plays more confident and happy. She has achieved new goals at higher levels, without feeling stressed or worried.

As a Mum of a teenage athlete, I feel that Cal is with us every step of the way. This is something I highly recommend for any young athlete and parent, to help stay focused and positive in such a competitive environment. Too often the mental side is left as a second priority to the physical aspects. I feel it’s impossible to achieve full potential without implementing both. Thank you Coach for being part of our story

Cal did a session with my 17-year-old daughter and it has made a big difference to her mindset for games and practices. It was great for me to sit in on the session as I think I needed to hear Cal’s insights just as much as my daughter did! I thoroughly recommend Cal to anyone striving to get to the next level in their sport.

To anyone that’s interested in getting Cal to enhance their mental side of any particular sport, I completely recommend him. He has mentored my son for four sessions and has completely changed his performance mentally and physically in a positive confident way.

Cal’s work with our 10-year-old boy and 17-year-old has been fantastic!. The lift in confidence and improved attitude is clearly evident. Thoroughly recommend Cal, not only for sporting influence but also for general life coaching!. Well done Cal and thanks.
