DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH ACADEMY
Mental training for young people to unleash their greatness from within
WHAT IT IS
A direct, honest, and fun exploration of where our own thinking is getting in the way of us experiencing life as a wonderful adventure as opposed to an anxiety laden struggle. This is about having a new understanding and practice to dissolve these low level thoughts whenever you choose, leaving you free to move forward to do what it is you want. Free to BE and Free to Act. This is what you don’t learn in school and actually can use every day. This is about life!
What’s your game?
FOR PARENTS:
Do you see unfulfilled potential in your teen?
Are you having a hard time communicating with each other?
Does your teen seem to be suffering from overwhelm, procrastination, or a declining interest in school?
Do you sense a lack of confidence academically, athletically, or socially?
Do you or your teen worry that they will not be prepared for the next level?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is for you.
This is what they don’t teach in schools. This is for life.
FOR TEENS:
Do you have the feeling that there is more inside you than you are showing?
Where are you lacking the answers that you want?
Do you question your “enoughness?”
Do you hesitate to trust your intuition?
Do you dream of a life where you can just show up as yourself?
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to live into this unknown potential?

“I have to say, there is nothing I would change about the way John coaches. I have never in my life felt as able to say things without being judged by another, nor have I been given as much freedom as I was here.”
“Some of my biggest benefits from working with John are I feel way more confident and I know how to handle my own situations better. My relationships with family, friends and teachers are so much better because I know how to talk to others in more effective ways.”
“Coaching is a profession of love. You can’t coach people unless you love them.”
WHO this is for
The Teen Group (High Schoolers) and The Young Adult Group (post high school ages 18-25) who are tired of living in the shadows of their own fears. Those who are ready to see what it’s like to shine in life. Whether you consider yourself introverted or the king of the jungle, deep inside you hesitate to fully unleash yourself and live your authentic life. It is time to access your greatness. (see below for which session is the best fit)
WHY this was created
I love seeing young people shine. That is the way we came into the world and my mission is to help anyone who wants to live the life THEY really want and inspire with their bright light.
I was the shy, skinny, pale, freckle faced boy who grew up in the academic shadow of an older sibling.
“You have so much potential, if you would only apply yourself.”
Sound familiar?
My dad died when I was 19... so I winged life for the next 30 years.
Sports was my thing and I did pretty well AND still showed up as Mr. Inconsistent. Sometimes A’s sometimes C’s and never understanding why I wouldn’t reach higher. Well, turns out I had some interesting and unchallenged thoughts running 24/7 in the background. None of which I was aware of. Funny, later in life when I finally got some help to become aware of this thinking, my inconsistency quickly began to dissolve and I immediately began to Shine!
I only wish that something like this had been available and introduced to me and that SOMEBODY would have been a stand for me to shine. Clearly, I wasn’t up to reaching out on my own.
Well, It is now here for you!
What it isn’t
Tips, tricks and to do’s that are only temporary surface level attempts that add to an already overwhelmed life. This is not another boring lecture or academic undertaking.
THE PROMISE
You will leave this experience with a new understanding of who you are and a new courage to stand up for what you believe in and the ability to express that in the world. YOU Will Shine!
