Testimonials

  • Caroline Hinshaw - UCONN, 2 Time High School Division 1 State Champion

    "Dave has been a wonderful mentor/coach for my daughter! She has an open and honest relationship with him about where she sees her areas of development mentally when she is on the tennis court. She trusts him completely. Personally, I appreciate Dave for always checking in with me and seeing how she is doing. Often while she is in the middle of a tournament. He cares about her progress and her as a person. Whenever she needs to schedule time with him, he makes it work. Caroline has made the adjustments she and Dave have discussed and I see the outcome of their hard work when she prepares and plays." - Peggy Hinshaw (Mother)

  • Clara Owen - 2 Time High School Division 1 State Champion

    "Dave has been such a valuable resource for my daughter.  He has helped her prioritize so she can focus on the things that will help her achieve her goals. He’s helped her work through the things that can distract her during matches and given her tools to help keep that focus. More than that, he has always worked on the player as a whole person. Not just concentrating on her game, but where she is in her life. Reaching out to see how she is doing in school, what is going on in her life and always offering to help with whatever she may need.  We couldn’t be happier with her progress!" - Becky Owen (Mother)

  • Howard Joffe - Head Women's Tennis Coach, University of Texas - National Champions 2021, 2022

    "During the 20 years I've known Dave Phillips it's abundantly clear that he is resourced in all of the right ways to help people perform and succeed to their best selves. Dave is charismatic, intelligent, diligent, and able to help others uncover the best in themselves."

  • Will Mhaskar - Life Coach Student

    "We can’t say enough about coach Dave Phillips and the positive impact he has had on our son this past year. I think the first statement should come from Will: 'Coach Dave shines a bright light in every corner, even when a corner is hard, sad, or not what you wanted.' For a 17 year old to say that off record is a true testament. We looked to Dave as a life coach when our son needed help seeing himself as others see him. At the time he was having a difficult time academically, not making the grades he wanted, and not reaching his goals in his sport. I suspected that Dave would be able to help, and he has far exceeded our expectations. We could see an improvement almost immediately. I think Dave helped reframe his mind set- helped see himself as the unique and special kid that he is, helped him appreciate and acknowledge his strengths and talents, and set manageable goals where improvement was desired. I recommend Dave Phillips for anyone who needs some help managing stress, achieving goals, and practicing self love and acceptance." Jamie Mhaskar (Mother)

  • JR Ramsey - Baseball Player - Denver, Colorado

    "Dave has shown my son that the mental aspect of baseball is totally different than the physical side. His program has elevated my son JR to a side of the sport that he did not have any previous training with. We are thrilled with his progress and how it has helped him with his confidence and dealing with adversity." - JJ Ramsey (Father)

  • Carlos Estrada - Former Division 1 Tennis Player and Tennis Director

    "Tennis is a very mental game and requires confidence, focus, mental toughness. I have seen how Dave's mental conditioning programs have helped many of our competitive juniors perform better on the court after taking his Complete Performance courses. Highly recommend."

  • Harper Wheeler - Level 7 Gymnast

    "Dave is enthusiastic, caring, and so good at what he does. Our 10 year old is a high level gymnast who struggles with anxiety prior to and during competitions. He was able to work with her, in a short amount of time, and incorporate different techniques that allowed her to be successful! We are so happy with how  in such a small amount of time, he could instill such confidence in her!" Allison Wheeler (Mother)

  • Oakwood United Soccer

    "Coach Dave Phillips helped our soccer team this past season learn about leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, communication, and why we play the game. It was a total joy to hear our girls talk about the mental aspects of the game and watch them participate in Dave's fun activities to help drive these concepts home! I highly recommend using Complete Performance for student athletes of any age!" Maggie Pasqualone (Soccer Coach)
