"I highly recommend Bill Cole if you want to learn the skills of teaching peak performance skills or get coached yourself. I am a board-certified psychiatrist, and elite track coach, with an MA in exercise physiology and found Bill's teachings to be highly practical and relevant. He also has a wonderful style about meeting you where you are and helping you advance quickly. His experience, which he gladly shares, is second to none!"

"My IMGCA certification training program with Bill Cole has been the best teacher-student experience I've ever had. Bill is always full of energy, in good humor and above all a repository of important, vital information. It is absolutely unbelievable how he can answer every question, illustrated with a specific, pertinent example from his teaching, coaching, consulting or playing experiences, and tell stories about the material with any sport. Working with Bill is invigorating, inspiring and exciting. I always looked forward to each session and left feeling uplifted and full of energy. Bill got me in the "zone" in each class."

"Bill Cole has continually been at the forefront of a transformative movement in sport and performance. He is a pioneer who has enthusiastically promoted and personally expanded the mental game field with effective processes and indispensable articles. And so, it is truly a privilege to be recognized as a mental game coach by such a respected and prominent leader in the field. Bill has amassed a wealth of information and valuable, usable resources. He instructs fluidly - sharing material, answering questions, and guiding towards understanding. Not only did Bill teach me with a straight-forward and tangible approach, he is a warm, immensely encouraging, and accessible instructor.”

"Many people refer to the famed NBA Coach Phil Jackson as the 'Zen Master' of basketball due to his unique values and qualities. I view IMGCA President and Founder Bill Cole in the same light due to his qualities as a human being, teacher, mentor, and coach. His wisdom, calm demeanor, great listening skills, and instruction were second to none! I would come out of each IMGCA training session with valuable takeaways that I could apply immediately in my own life and for my clients.”
