What People Are Saying: PeOPLE & TEAM Architect
“Working with Robin has been awesome and clarifying. He took the jumble of instincts, habits, strengths, and blind spots I operate with as a founder and translated them into a system my entire team can actually use a playbook for how to work with me, how to work with each other, and how to move with speed without creating chaos.
What he delivered was an incredibly helpful map: he mapped my operating style, decoded my communication patterns, and turned it all into crisp artifacts that now anchor onboarding, team dynamics, and even how I run high-stakes conversations. The Leadership Translation documents he built for me have become foundational tools inside my company.
Robin’s superpower is seeing both who you are today and the leader you’re becoming, and then building the bridge.
Thanks to our work, I feel more equipped, more understood, or more capable of bringing out the best in my team..”

“I've been at Power programs with every resource. This is different. I have the vision for what my program needs. Robin helps me get it organized and built without bias while I'm focused on everything else. We created staff alignment documents, recruiting frameworks, and post-game protocols early in the season before the chaos hit. The groundwork we laid with communication systems and recovery protocols put us in a position to perform when the waves came. My staff was already aligned. I had systems to disconnect at home and be present with my family, then come back clearer for my team.
Robin's who I call when I need a sanity check or to work through something I can't see objectively. He reminds me to stick to the process and pay attention to what matters my family and my recovery. Sustainable coaching addresses challenges other resources don't touch; it's specific to what coaches actually face.”

“As a Division I head coach, I’m responsible for far more than training athletes and managing competition. I am the emotional anchor for a team of young women navigating stress, identity, expectation, and growth. The pressure is constant, and yet there are very few resources designed to support the well-being of coaches themselves. We pour into everyone else, often at the expense of our own sustainability.
Working with Robin changed that for me. He provided structure, language, and daily practices that help me stay grounded, steady, and aligned with my values, especially in the most stressful parts of the season. Instead of reacting to outcomes, I now lead from clarity and connection. That directly impacts my players: they get a coach who is present, patient, and emotionally available, not depleted or overwhelmed.
This became especially clear during a stretch this season where our results didn’t match our effort. In the past, I would have spiraled into overanalysis, more film, more pressure, more urgency. And when I’m in that state, the team feels it. The gym tightens. Confidence drops. The joy leaves the room.
Robin helped me pause, reflect, and return to who I want to be before I walked into training. We used questions we developed together: What version of myself do I want my athletes to experience today? What does calm leadership look like in behavior, not just intention? I walked into practice grounded. The athletes felt that immediately. The gym opened up. Communication improved. Our connection strengthened. That shift didn’t just change a practice; it changed our trajectory.
Sustainable coaching supports the real, practical side of coaching things no one ever teaches you. On game days, which are notoriously hard to stay grounded in, we built a concrete framework that allows me to care for myself so that I can show up with clarity, energy, and purpose when it matters most. Those tools have been transformative.
The result is visible where it matters most in our student-athletes: They experience a coach who models emotional regulation and resilience. They train in an environment grounded in trust and clarity, not anxiety. They learn what it looks like to pursue excellence without sacrificing mental health.
This is what sustainable coaching has looked like. And sustainable coaching is what allows both athletes and coaches to thrive not just for a season, but for life.”
