High Jump State Champion, Bradley Richards. 6′ 10 1/4″

“Coach, I just won the state championship (all divisions) and set my PR at 6’10 1/4”.   I have been stuck at 6’8” for 2+ years.  Then we met.   The Mindset principles were huge for me.   I visualized my approach and run throughs 50x before the jump.  I saw myself as a spectator would watching me go over the bar and celebrating afterwards.   Thank you so much for helping me!”    Bradley Richards.
