IN HIS WORDS: The reason why I became a mental sports performance coach was due to my career-ending sports (QB - football) injury to the left hip. For almost two decades, I battled identity issues, confidence issues, and depression. I had two hip replacements on the same hip before I was 40 years old. After my first surgery, I was left handicapped for almost four years where I couldn't walk for more than 10 minutes, tie my shoes, and clip my toenails. After my second surgery, I got my life back and decided to redesign my life. I woke up my inner- athlete/inner-warrior after two decades to emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually to create a new Grant. Through about a year and a half of self-discovery, I found my calling as a mental sports performance coach. I went back to school to earn my Masters in Sport Psychology, created my company Game Face Performance, 90% Mental Podcast, and wrote my book The Next One Up Mindset: How to prepare for the unknown. The rest is history. Currently, I am working with Olympic, professional, collegiate, high school, and youth athletes, teams, and coaches. I also work executives (corporate athletes) and corporations to provide mental skills and leadership training. I am playing a big game in my life, career, and relationships. I am loving life!
