ABOUT

"When I met Andy Jacobs I had big dreams, even though most people would have said achieving them was impossible. Andy was one of those special people who helped motivate me and showed me how to clearly focus. He has a positive spirit that’s really contagious and you always feel that he truly cares about you and what you’re trying to accomplish.”

"Dr. Jacobs helped me get mentally prepared to take the mound every day. When I’m pitching, I need to focus on each pitch, one pitch at a time. I need to concentrate on myself and what I have control over, nothing else. His program helped me learn how to be consistent, totally focused and pitch to the best of my ability.”

“What makes Andy Jacobs so exceptional at what he does — he’s neutral. For him, it’s all about the athlete and not about the trainer, the parent or the coach. He’s there to help athletes deal with their inner selves so they can take full advantage of all the resources available to them. He doesn’t set goals for them but helps them formulate a plan that is theirs alone and one they can really own as they work toward achieving their dreams.”

“From his years as a junior tennis player, Andy has a deep understanding of the challenges (both mental and physical) facing competitive young athletes and this has given him a unique insight into the mindset of aspiring young athletes in any sport.”

“Andy Jacobs uses a real common sense approach to working with our team members and he presents strategies that are workable for them both on the field and in life. He gives them the skills they’ll need as they move forward with all sorts of challenges, whether it’s competitive sports, work, family or day-to-day life.”

“I had the privilege of working with Dr. Jacobs when I was the Head Women’s Basketball Coach at the University of Missouri Kansas City. He focused on two areas with our team: Communication and Mental preparation. He took our student-athletes through steps to help them mentally prepare themselves for practice and games and he was also a great medium to discuss topics or issues that might otherwise not have been brought to light.  Our team’s communication and trust grew stronger through sessions with Dr. Jacobs.  We enjoyed our season, learned to deal with differences and were successful.”

“It was the mental preparation we did with Andy that made all the difference for our team. We went through every scenario that could possibly happen at the Olympics, so we were prepared for everything and anything when it came time to race. And that preparedness meant that in spite of the crashes and mishaps in our qualifying rounds, the team had mental toughness to come back and medal.”

“Andy helped me out during one of the toughest times in my life, not just in baseball but in my life off the field. Talking with him was like talking to a friend — a friend who not only helped me build up my confidence, but who could be trusted to keep everything I told him confidential.”
