Coaches who have done the work themselves

Adam Tannehill is the life and mental strength coach who turns obstacles into opportunities and setbacks into setups for success. With his guidance, athletes master the mental game and meet life's toughest challenges with confidence and resilience.

He founded The Athletic Advisor to close the gap he kept seeing: athletes training their bodies every single day, and almost never training the way they think. That gap is what separates good from great, and great from recruited.

Fred Koepp holds a Master of Science in Applied Sport Psychology from Adams State University and is the only Certified Mental Performance Consultant® in the Wichita area working specifically with elite athletes at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels.

Fred's mission is to develop champion individuals on and off the field by mixing science-backed mental tools with real life lessons, professionalism, and genuine relationships with the athletes he serves. He currently works with some of the best disc golfers in the world on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, multiple collegiate teams, and elite athletes across many sports.

He serves as Assistant Women's Soccer Coach at Newman University and Head Women's Soccer Coach at Wichita East High School. He also loves spending time with his wife Emma and his two dogs, Everest and Lady — and is the self-proclaimed Sweet Tea Connoisseur.

Tom McCurdy is the former head women's golf coach at Wichita State University. He spent years on the other side of the recruiting table — watching juniors at tournaments, reading their emails, and deciding who got an offer and who got deleted.

In Compete & Commit, Tom co-leads the live webinars and personally reviews every Interactive Player Profile® before it goes to a college coach. When he tells an athlete what a coach sees, it isn't theory — it's what he actually did.

Shannon keeps everything behind the scenes running so coaches can stay focused on athletes. She handles scheduling, onboarding, and family communication — and she is usually the first friendly voice a new family hears.
