Inside the Zone Sports Performance group is focused on helping athlete of all ages and sports uncover their unique talents and skills. We help athletes discover their mental edge, and reach beyond self imposed limitations. This edge is often the difference between winning, losing and reaching the next goal. At Inside the Zone, I help clients explore, become aware, and work through performance issues in a non-threatening, non-judgmental and safe way. This approach facilitates and encourages the athlete to embrace self choice, responsibility and change—all keys to winning and high performance. An expert in understanding and applying creative and personal mental toughness techniques with performers, I help clients blend their mental and physical abilities and perform at their highest potential. With me on their team, clients: • Learn to play a more relaxed and confident manner • Develop the ability to cope in high pressure situations • Improve their concentration and focus • Bring the fun back to competition • Break through self imposed barriers Show less

This ground-breaking workshop focuses on the mental game of tennis and teaches a unique inside-out approach to unleashing your “more” both on & off the court. Rob’s “More than an Athlete” model recognizes the importance of bringing the individual whole person to competition, not just the athlete.

Head Varsity Tennis Coach

2005 - 2008
Head Coach for both Oratory Preparatory High School Boys Tennis and Summit High School Girls Tennis teams. During this time, Summit won the State Sectional Championships and also won the Individual Singles State Championship. Oratory Preps record improved each year culminating with entry into the State Sectional Tournament. Both teams were known for one little known fact...In addition to the individual match handshakes, our teams lined up in victory or loss and congratulated the other players and coach entirely – a sportsmanship practice that is done in team sports. However, this practice is not done in tennis, but should be implemented. Show less
