What coaches, parents, and organizations are saying
Feedback from coaches, parents, and leaders who have experienced these sessions firsthand.
Coach Kevin Werner
West Delaware Varsity Baseball Coach
“We utilized Gabe as a mental performance coach with our Varsity Baseball team. Our players enjoyed the exercises he brought in, and it became a strong team bonding experience. I noticed a more intentional approach in at-bats, and our athletes were able to refocus and prioritize the next play better after his training. Overall, it was a great first experience, and we would be interested in using this type of training again.”
“Working with Gabe Rummel and The Athletes Health has been an incredible experience for our Team Iowa youth basketball organization. Gabe brings a unique and much-needed focus to the mental side of sports, helping our players build confidence, resilience, and a healthier mindset both on and off the court. His approach not only supports athletes, but also helps parents and coaches create better environments around them.”
Mark Daniels
Team Iowa Athletics Director
Coach Michael Tierney
Prairie Varsity Track Coach
“Gabe has been organized, well-spoken, and presents something our kids can use not only athletically, but in everyday life as well. In his sessions with our track and field teams, he shared meaningful data and led athletes through several activities and exercises they could apply right away. Our athletes have benefitted from these sessions and are better prepared and more confident as they face competition and challenging workouts.”
