What Parents Are Seeing — On the Court and at Home

🔥 "The Moment We Knew

This Was Working…"

“Watching him breathe, reset, and stay composed from the bench — it gave me chills.

He’s actually using the tools you taught him, and it’s showing on the court.”

Here’s what parents and pros are saying after working with me:

“Connor has been bringing everything you taught him into his gameplay.

He’s showing real improvements in body language, focus, and presence.”

With the Vancouver Bandits

— pro athletes use these same tools.

👋 Hi, I’m Jon

For athletes who want to play free under pressure — and parents who want a real path forward.

I’m a basketball coach and mental performance mentor.

I work with serious athletes who are tired of second-guessing themselves — and want a process that actually works when the lights are on.

As the Director of Mental Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (Pro Basketball, CEBL), I help professional athletes master their mindset and perform under pressure.

Through Play Free, I’ve worked with athletes on every continent — from high school standouts to college players and pros — helping them reset their confidence, lead with clarity, and show up when it matters most.

If your athlete has the talent — but their mind keeps getting in the way — this is where we start turning that around.
