Freddie did an outstanding job presenting to our Future Football Coaches at the AFCA Convention. I believe it’s the first time I’ve ever heard a group ask to stay and continue working with Freddie versus going to their next session! The information he provided was relevant, practical, and his presentation style was very engaging. I would not hesitate to invite him back to speak at other programs we conduct.Ron Brewer | Assistant Director of Leadership Development NCAA
…your presentation to our student-athletes was a fantastic, reality-based and actionable discussion. Each of the student-athletes with whom I spoke the following day had very positive things to say about the value of the seminar and its quick impact on them…Michael G.
