See what coaches are saying about Headstrong Mindset.

Jen Jacobs

Headstrong gives coaches and players the tools to face it in a safe and productive way. Additionally, the section on implicit bias is the first time I have ever seen that topic addressed specific to volleyball. Headstrong gives us tangible examples, real life situations, and is a fantastic how - to guide to help coaches and teams navigate a relevant complex concept.

I feel so fortunate that our team had the opportunity to work with Brooke during our "virtual" spring season. Headstrong and the team workbook proved to be hugely beneficial for our athletes and our team as a whole. Through the six modules and team sessions our athletes learned simple, yet powerful volleyball-specific strategies to grown their mental game in practice and competition. On top of that, the athletes' relationships became infinitely stronger after they learned more about each other and worked together through each module and team session. I feel like the team made leaps and bounds forward together, even more so than if we would have had had a "normal" spring season. The Headstrong sessions exceeded all of our expectations and we are very grateful for the experience!

There are many reasons that I enjoy this book for myself and my team. With so many really practical and applicable perspectives written in easy to read bullet points, it is an awesome user friendly way for a player to learn and grow. In each chapter, there are specific tools that will allow players to focus on personal and team development. I see this resource helping the highest level players who are striving for greatness, as well as being valuable for players who are struggling with confidence and consistency. In both cases, there is a solid road map presented with specific ways players can improve their mentality and performance. The detailed volleyball specific examples and references to elite coaches and players lends strong credibility to the content which will connect well with both players and coaches. In addition to the solid content in the book, the team workbook and discussion guide are really influential as well. We are using a combination of the e-book along with some hard copies and our players are enjoying the progress they are making.

Headstrong is my new favorite volleyball book. Not only should every athlete read it but every coach as well. The book dives into simple techniques to enhance your mental toughness. As a coach, I have changed how I talk with athletes and positively motivate them. Brooke does a great job sharing the struggles and triumphs of the volleyball greats. This book has volleyball history and toughness all rolled into one.

Brook Coulter

Rundle gave a presentation on the Headstrong principles and strategies at CSU's team camp in 2015. Our coaches found the Headstrong techniques to declutter the mind, build confidence and prioritize improvement over accomplishment extremely helpful and practical for players and coaches alike. The guide offers actionable tips for practice and a game plan to help volleyball players improve their mental game. I highly recommend grabbing a copy of this book and booking her for a speaking engagement at your camp or club.
