What people are saying.

  • "Ari's work with our teams at Johns Hopkins was integral to our success. Between working with individual players and the coaching staff on how to get into a great mindset or helping with team dynamics, he added value constantly. Ari understands teams and performance and can help any group that looks to enhance performance"

    - Josh Loeffler, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Loyola University Maryland

  • "As the past president of the Mid-Atlantic Security Traders Association, I had been tasked with finding impressive speakers for our annual conference. Eric Decosta of the Baltimore Ravens, Mike Ellias of the Baltimore Orioles, Dr. Robert Redfield, Kevin Plank and Freeman Hrabowski were the some of speakers in years past. Ari had some fairly big shoes to fill and he performed exceptionally well. He knew exactly how to engage this audience in a way that helped everyone in the room with their own personal mental performance and how to approach others. I had a number of Heads of Trading desks come up to me after the event to tell me how much they enjoyed it. I am fortunate to have met Ari just a few months prior because he turned out to be one of the best speakers we had. "

    — Matthew Franke, Equity Trader at Stifel Nicolaus

  • "Working with Ari on proactive management of my mental wellness has helped me be more productive in all aspects of my life. Ari teaches in a very clear, concise, and welcoming manner. His altruism radiates in a contagious manner. He is passionate about the success of others. Above all, his methods work. I’ve seen the results in myself and my team. After our first session with Ari, my team was still speaking about him months later! The rewards are real, immediate, far reaching, and immeasurable. You’ll be thankful that you committed to yourself and your team’s improvement."

    — Daniel Cohen, Director of Acquisition at ezCater

  • "Ari unlocked a whole new side of performance for me through mental preparation. Returning to play after an injury and handling pressures on and off the court, he taught me how to quiet the noise and consistently perform at my best. He teaches skills that athletes - especially those beginning their college careers - need to reach the next level."

    Zoe Soule, Johns Hopkins University basketball student-athlete

  • “Working with Ari has been a true blessing. Our work together has transformed me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

    Justin Mazzulla, former Division I basketball student-athlete at the University of Vermont, Assistant Video Coordinator, Utah Jazz

  • “From entering his office uncertain about what progress I would make, to leaving his office confident in my role and ability on the court, Ari helped me develop into a better athlete and better person. Everything I learned to help me be present and the best teammate on the court was applicable to every walk of life, and I found myself talking about more than sports with him because of the compassion, comfort, and approachability that Ari brings with every meeting.”

    Chid Nnake, former Johns Hopkins University basketball student-athlete, medical student at Columbia University

"
