Coach McDermott with The Dojo Decision

Work with Coach McDermott

I’ll help your athletes get more confident, resilient and focused — and enjoy the work.

“I coach mental and peak performance — and I hold your athletes accountable to the goals you and they set for themselves.”
Coach McDermott — Author of The Dojo DecisionHeroic-certified instructor · Assistant coach, University of Utah lacrosse

Your players are already working hard on the field, and their coaches give them the tactical side and the sports IQ they need. Where I come in is turning that into an actionable plan off it.

I help them get clear on what they actually want, name the price they’ll have to pay to get there — the habits every elite performer keeps — and then get busy paying it, with confidence, focus and resilience. The result is athletes who get better on the field and reach the goals they set for themselves.

The gap is effort — the effort nobody sees, in the hours nobody is watching. That’s the part I’ll help them bring.

And I’m glad to be an extension of your staff — telling you, their coach, exactly what we’re working on, whenever you want it. None of it is strength and conditioning programming, and none of it touches your practice plan.

The Habits screen on a phone: the goal at the top, today’s habits under it, most of them logged, each with a streak count
Their dayTap to log. Streaks do the nagging.

The habits on this screen are set by the coach and the athlete — not by me. Where I work with athletes of prospective-student-athlete age, anything I set or see is lifestyle only: sleep, preparation, and what they rehearse to themselves. Never sport-specific work.

Open to any and all. Everything here is available to anyone who wants it — any athlete, any family, any program. Nothing on this page is limited to a particular school, team, roster or recruit.

You don’t just meet with me — you train in DojoDecision every day, and I see it. Calls set the direction; the app holds you to it in between: your habits, your goals, your mental game, visible to both of us.

“I don’t know what you said to my son last night, but you lit a FIRE! The kid was up early this morning, drank water with lemon, took a cold shower, did wall ball and a 15-minute stretch session.”
Parent — after her son read a chapter of The Dojo Decision with his team
“Coach McDermott helped guide my son and his teammates on the University of Utah Club lacrosse team into a top 20 Division 1 national contender. He seemed to develop a personal relationship with each player and hold them accountable to a high standard.”
David Neeleman — Founder of JetBlue, Breeze, Azul, Morris Air and WestJet

Questions I get

Who is this for?
Athletes who already work hard and want somebody holding the standard with them, and the parents of athletes who are tired of being the one doing the nagging. Minimum age 13.
How long am I committed for?
Month to month. Cancel any time — there’s no term and no cancellation fee.
What happens after I pay?
You get a scheduling link and an app invite. First call inside a week.
Does the app cost extra?
No. The DojoDecision app is free, whether or not you ever work with me.
Does my coach need to know?
Nothing is required from your program, and no roster or contact list is ever requested from them. I do tell your coach before we start — that’s courtesy between coaches, and it’s how I’d want to be treated.

Cancel anytime · receipts and secure payment by Stripe · the DojoDecision app itself stays free.

Ways to work together

This is my coaching practice — separate from the app, which any team can use without ever hiring me. Every one of these is open to any athlete, family or program.

1-on-1 coaching

An athlete, usually one heading to college

Everyone was the best player on their high school team. What separates the athletes who play from the athletes who watch is preparation — the body, the mind and the habits, trained on purpose. We build that plan together and I hold you to it.

  • Your goals, written down and worked
  • The habits underneath them
  • Recruiting guidance (general, never school-specific)

Mentoring

An athlete, a family or a coach

Hands-on guidance through the Dojo Decision course with someone in your corner — accountability, a regular call and a person who notices when you go quiet. Coaches take this too, for the mental side of their own leadership.

  • Goals and habit accountability
  • Training tips
  • A standing call

Team building

A whole team, with its coaching staff

Talented, hardworking players who are not yet one thing. We work on the culture underneath the roster — how they talk to each other, what they hold each other to, and what happens when it gets hard.

Keynote speaking

A team, a club, a banquet or a staff

The Black Belt mentality, in a room, in an hour: what separates the good from the people who keep getting better, and the decision each athlete has to make for themselves.

Retreats

A team or a program, off site

A few days to build the bond and the mental edge at once — three formats, shaped around what your group actually needs.

If he can’t work with your athlete, he’ll find who can

Coach McDermott coaches in college, so NCAA rules sometimes mean he can’t work with a particular athlete himself. When that happens he pairs you with a college or pro player who has accomplished what your athlete is trying to accomplish.

Not sure which one fits?

Twenty minutes, no pitch — we work out whether any of this is right for your athlete or your team, and I will say so if it is not.
