What People Are Saying
Hear from athletes, coaches, and organizations who have worked with Monkey Mind providers.
“Dr. Colt Olson was incredible. His session was one of the most professional, engaging trainings we've had inside ACL Academy. He came prepared with clear, well-designed slides, but what stood out even more was how personable and real he was throughout the entire call. He related immediately to our players, drawing powerful parallels between baseball and cornhole, and he answered every single question with depth, clarity, and experience. Our athletes walked away with practical tools and a deeper understanding of failure tolerance. Truly impressive.”

“Working with Monkey Mind has been a game-changer for my son. They have taught him how to concentrate on not just winning but on being successful in the areas of the game he can control. They have also given him the mental tools to be more confident on the ice and in challenging situations. My son is a better player and a more mentally tough person because of Monkey Mind. I can't recommend them enough to any athlete looking to take their game to the next level.”

“Working with Dr. Colt Olson and Monkey Mind has been a game changer on and off the field. As a graduating senior and athlete at Saint Michael's College, I was searching for who truly understands the mental demand of baseball at a high level, and I found Monkey Mind. Monkey Mind's methods were practical, personalized, and rooted in real experience. Whether it was dealing with performance anxiety, dealing with big moments, and staying focused during slumps, Dr. Colt Olson gave me tools to grow not just as a player, but as a person.”

“Working with Monkey Mind this year has elevated my game rapidly. While working with Powell I have been able to reflect on my nerves and how they affect my golf. Through the routine building process we have worked on I have been able to embrace the nerves I feel in competition and stay calm and collected on each shot. I would recommend Monkey Mind to any athlete who would like to work on their mental performance.”

I recommend anyone who needs help keeping their mind right!”

“This season, I felt honored to be able to participate in a training series with sports Psychologist, Dr. Colton Olson, offered via Monkey Mind Athletes. Monkey Mind partnered with Flylow this year to work with our athlete and ambassador team. Many of the Flylow athletes are free-ride competitors, so the educational offerings of Dr. Colt gave them a directive toolbox on offer to utilize in order to hone their performance. Being past my competition days, yet now offering my services within the ski industry as a resiliency coach, I was deeply enlightened as Dr. Colt shared new ways of thinking through our approach to our own nervous systems, resilience and regulation. I found myself furiously taking notes with every session and have high-grade mined many of these tenets to incorporate not just through coaching my clients, but integrally into my own life. Thank you Danny and Monkey Mind for the rich opportunity to expand my own growth and learning so that I could continue my pursuit and passion in the mountains with a more regulated nervous system!”
