The Mindset Training Toolkit
Empowering you, the coach, to build confidence, resilience and team chemistry in your athletes
There is nothing more powerful than a clear, calm mind.
Your team’s ability to tap into that mindset is the difference between what they’ve been and what they could be.
Imagine what your team could accomplish with…
UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE
“This program helped our team develop a sense of calmness. We won 5 games (in the state tournament) by a total of 13 points…any coach or any fan will tell you I didn’t look worried and our players never looked worried.”
Derrick DeWitt
Girls High School Basketball Coach, State Champions
UNSTOPPABLE RESILIENCE
“Being able to notice our body’s response to stress and then to have the tools to be able to deal with it made a huge impact, not just on our performance, but on our enjoyment of the journey as well. I’m not sure we could have enjoyed our season or had the kind of success we had, had we not adopted a mindset of relaxed intensity.”
Chad Tapp
Men’s College Basketball, Conference Champions
UNBREAKABLE TEAM CHEMISTRY
“The program opened up some discussions that allowed us to have a closer-knit locker room. Our ability to see each other as people, not just as teammates, proved really valuable for some adverse situations that we hit through the year. Because we had these discussions…it laid a foundation for us to hold each other accountable and have hard conversations. For the first time ever, at the end of the season, every single player on our team talked about how close-knit our group was.”
Matt Keeley
Men’s College Basketball, Conference Tournament Champions
And imagine the impact it will have on your athletes…
“It’s a week-to-week eye-opening experience about yourself. Every week this program had me trying new things, experimenting with new things with my mind and my approach to basketball and to life. It opens you up to so much that you don’t know and so much that you have to figure out. It’s challenging, but that’s what made it worth it for me.”
Alec Peters
Pro Basketball Player, Euroleague Champion
You may think you just need more practice, more effort, or more time to advance to the next level.
But ultimately that approach…
✘ Ignores what truly accelerates growth and performance.
✘ Doesn't produce exponential results.
✘ Marches you down a path of diminishing returns.
If you’re waiting for your players to just grow up and get older, they'll be gone before they ever make a meaningful impact on your program.
Use the Catching Confetti toolkit to intentionally develop their mental skills and…
✅ Get more out of the hard work you're already doing
✅ Help them reach their full potential while they're in your program
✅ Make all that hard work pay off when it matters most
“Before this program I used to just train, train, train; go in the gym and get shots and a ton of repetitions. I truly believe this program and the mental aspect of the game is the next step for guys like myself.”
George King
Professional Basketball Player, NBA Draft Pick
Don't leave your team's growth and success up to chance.

THE SEVEN MINDSETS TAUGHT IN THE PROGRAM
RESILIENT MINDSET
If you build your identity around anything that can be gained or lost, you set yourself up for crisis. We develop resilience by learning to separate who you are from the results or your performance and your affiliation with a team or sport. In this module, your athletes will learn to strip away their insecure attachments to their mission and community by reframing their life through an identity-first filter.
RELAXED MINDSET
An insecure mind will be uptight and anxious, causing us to over-project and force our will onto the situation, or over-protect and withdraw and hide from the biggest moments. We perform our best when our mind is relaxed. In this module, your athletes will learn to be aware of their emotional state without overreacting to it and identify the core fear at the root of their insecurity.
VICTOR MINDSET
Our experiences shape us more than we realize. Owning our past experiences and leaning into new experiences is the pathway to growth. This module will empower your athletes to lean into their fears and seek out new growth opportunities. When they learn to embrace new challenges, they will have unlimited potential.
VISIONARY MINDSET
Who you are becoming is more important than what you achieve. Surfacing your true desire and having a vision for who you want to become creates an eternal well of motivation and a compass for your true path forward. In this module, your athletes will learn to shed the “shaming shoulds” and set "being" goals rather than achievement goals.
FOCUSED MINDSET
The world is a distracting place. There are so many voices and influences taking us out of the present moment and nudging us off our true path. In this module, your athletes will develop mantras to be their own best coach and learn a unique meditation exercise that can help them re-center at any moment.
PROCESS MINDSET
There is no shortcut to success. Excellence is built on the foundation of thousands of repetitions, hours of skillbuilding, and the discipline to stay ready when that moment comes. In this module, your athletes will learn to focus on the process over the end result and develop routines to help them get ready, stay ready, and be ready for their biggest moments.
EMPATHETIC MINDSET
No matter what sport you play, you need a healthy team to go as far as you’re capable of. A healthy ‘we’ is made up of a bunch of healthy 'mes'. In this module your athletes will learn how to use everything they've learned to this point to navigate conflict in a healthy way. It will create the vulnerability and trust that brings your team together.
RELAXED INTENSITY
The program concludes with this optimal performance state. It’s the culmination of all 7 mindsets working together. An intensity of focus, fully present, fully engaged in the here and now, with a relaxed, non-anxious presence, nothing to prove and nothing to hide. If your athletes wrestle with the exercises and commit to the process of growth, they will learn to consistently tap into a Relaxed Intensity mindset.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the program organized?
Catching Confetti is organized into 7 essential mindsets. To get the most out of the program:
- Watch the mindset video as a team
- Allow a few days for your athletes to wrestle with the exercises on their own
- Meet again to discuss your experiences as a group
- Then move on to the next mindset
*You can complete the discussion and watch the next mindset video in one 30-minute meeting.
How long does the program take to complete?
You can complete the program in 9 sessions: One session to introduce the program, one session for each of the 7 mindsets, and one session to close the program.
Plan for 30 minutes for each session: 15-20 minutes for discussion and then 10-15 minutes to watch the next video.
We suggest focusing on one mindset per week.
Do we have to follow the program in order?
Yes, the program is designed as a structured curriculum that guides you step-by-step to an outcome and each mindset builds on the previous one. After completing the program, feel free to revisit any mindset as necessary.
Who should lead our team through the program?
The Catching Confetti toolkit was designed to empower you, the coach, with all the tools necessary to develop mindset skills in your athletes. We believe in the special role a coach plays in impacting your athletes because you are the one with them day-in and day-out and through all the highs and lows of the season. By leading the program yourself, you will be able to shape the discussions around your core values, apply the lessons to specific issues your team has been facing, and make a vulnerable connection with your team that will increase trust.
However, if you have a sport psychologist or character coach that works with your team and you would like to empower them with a larger voice in your locker room, using this program can improve their connection with your players and open doors for the rest of the work they do.
Is the program better for the off-season or in-season?
We recommend you start the program during the pre-season when you have more time to invest in the group sessions. Lay their mental skills foundation before the competition begins, then keep them sharp throughout the season with the daily Mindset Vitamins.
If you need to start the program during the season, it will still be effective. The exercises are designed to be resistance-based. The more stress they are under, the more real-time application they will experience. However, we have found it more difficult to stay disciplined in the program once you are in full-season mode.
Is the program age, gender, or sport-specific?
Teams at all levels (high school, college, and pro) and in a variety of sports (from men’s basketball to women’s cross country) have experienced a profound transformation with Catching Confetti. It is not recommended for athletes younger than high school.
Does this program address mental and emotional health?
Yes, Catching Confetti is designed for high-performing athletes and coaches who are pushing themselves to their limits.* You voluntarily subject yourself to high-stress and high-pressure experiences because you know that's how you grow. That will test you mentally and emotionally.
For example, in the Relaxed Mindset, you will learn to become a detached observer of your feelings and emotions. You don't have to be dominated by them and you don't have to stuff them down. We teach you how to be aware and learn.
Will Coach Bret work directly with our teams?
The Catching Confetti toolkit was designed to empower you, the coach, with all the tools necessary to develop mindset skills in your athletes. We believe in the special role a coach plays in impacting your athletes because you are the one with them day-in and day-out and through all the highs and lows of the season. Coach Bret will support coaches through email and virtual gatherings. If you have an athlete who requires special attention or if you are interested in follow-up programs, contact us at connect@championshift.com to discuss expanded packages to meet your needs.
Do I need to purchase a separate license for my JV team?
Each Catching Confetti Team Toolkit license gives one team at one school access to the course materials. It is designed to develop a collective confidence, resilience, and trust among the team. It is not meant to be spread across multiple sports or schools.
How long do we have access to the training resources?
The Catching Confetti toolkit includes a one-year license to all of the training resources and support.
I need to submit a purchase order for approval. Do you have the necessary paperwork I need?
Yes. Please reach out to us at connect@championshift.com for alternative forms of payment and documentation.
I’m interested, but the price is outside my budget. Is there any flexibility?
We firmly believe no other mindset training program delivers the depth of impact or lasting transformation that comes with Catching Confetti. We also believe it will deliver more value than the financial investment required. Ultimately, though, we do not want finances to stand in the way of your athletes experiencing life-changing transformation. If you need additional materials to ask your athletic director or boosters for support, or if you are looking for alternative financing options, please contact us at connect@championshift.com.
