CONSULTING, LLC
Meiso Consulting, LLC was established in 2014.
The term "meiso" means "calm mind" in the Japanese language.
The last 30 years and everyday on is work for continued improvement on my 'Inner Ninja'. My knowledge and experience with mental training is more extensive than most. I continue to be a student in adding to my knowledge and discovering the latest proven techniques to improve the Meiso System.
Life is continuous work and a grind.

The Meisō System is a continuous work in progress starting 16 years ago. I continue to learn about new information in the area of performance psychology and grow to discover techniques that are most effective to helping people that I work with. I have a unique opportunity to "test" these methods in what I call "The Lab" with my 5th graders (10 year-olds) through a program that I developed called "Mental Fortitude for 5th Graders". The idea is that if these young people are able to learn the concepts & remain interested during our 45 minute sessions then I will have the same success with older individuals. My main objective is to keep the material interesting and entertaining while having participants learn. One reason, I have had success working with businesses is because I provide teams with an experience they enjoy and learn from at the same time.
HISTORY OF MEISO SYSTEM
April 15, 1989, I am a freshman at Cherry Creek High School. I had played freshman football, played on the Freshman "B" basketball team and was currently on the Freshman "B" baseball team. At school of 3,200 students, top classification in Colorado and a deep history of excellence in athletics I understood that continuing my athletic career that I started at age 5 was in jeopardy if things didn't change.
As things happen I'm sitting in the Mann Movie Theatre at Tamarac Square Mall in Denver, CO watching the movie "Major League". In a scene of the movie the character Willie Mays Hayes is getting ready to play in the American League Championship game against the New York Yankees. As he is sitting in front of his locker, he has his eyes closed, making a motion with his hand. That scene in particular connected with me and the following Monday I went to my high school library to investigate. Using microfiche I discovered that the character was engaged in mental imagery or visualization. My continued research led me to the book, The Mental Game of Baseball by H.A. Dorfman which enlightened me on how I could train the brain. This propelled me on my journey of using and pursuing knowledge of mental conditioning/training. I devoted my time to learning more about mental conditioning and implementing it into my training.
By adding this component to my athletics along with refining my physical skills, I was able continue my athletic career through high school where I lettered in 3 sports (football, basketball and baseball) and was on very good teams winning state championships in football (1990 & 1991) as well as baseball (1992). From there I earned an athletic scholarship to continue playing football and baseball in college.
In college, I began as a psychology major eventually earning a minor and receiving my degree in elementary education as the opportunity to work with young kids became a passion. The pursuit and study of mental conditioning/training didn't stop after my playing career was completed. As I pursued the next path in my journey I used various pieces of mental conditioning as I started my coaching career as a baseball coach which lasted 23 years with 18 years at the high school level.26.
15 years ago I began organizing and developing a system to give people tangible exercises and drills to improve their mind. The system is built around the idea of the Ninja as working on our mind is referred to as the "Inner Ninja" and the system provides people with "weapons" to add to their mental arsenal.
