Testimonials

“Sam is an amazing friend but is someone who will give your straight advice and action.  He listens intently to understand what your problems are, leans into what makes you unique, and then helps build with you to get the ultimate goal. Before working with Sam I was a bit lost, but through his guidance, encouragement, and partnership I am working in the industry I love at a position I couldn’t be happier in. Additionally, Sam gets what it’s like to be a college athlete. Ever since I first got to know him when we were at Stanford, he could relate to us as football players, understand the unique challenges we faced, and the value we added to the school. Any college athlete would be lucky to have Sam in their corner.” – Producer & On-Air Talent for Thursday Night Football on Prime, former Stanford Football Captain

“Deciding between pursuing my Olympic dreams after college and embarking on my professional career in technology was one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make. Thankfully, I had Sam as my coach to guide me through this pivotal moment in my life. His expertise, understanding, and unwavering support allowed me to explore all the possibilities and make an informed decision. Sam helped me weigh the pros and cons, consider my long-term goals, and ultimately find clarity in what was the right path for me, which was to take a break from sports and focus on my career. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and would recommend Sam’s coaching to any athlete facing a similar crossroads in their career.” – Former D1 Track & Field Athlete

“As an MBA student at Stanford, I was struggling with some big career decisions, like what type of internship to do with my MBA summer and what I wanted my career to look like after graduation. Working with Sam has completely changed my perspective and given me the tools and guidance needed to navigate this next stage of my career and life. Not only have I seen significant improvements in my confidence about my life after graduation, but I have also found more balance in my life during school, and I find myself doing a better job investing in the areas that I really do value. Sam is a fantastic coach and I would highly recommend him to any student who is trying to maximize their time on campus and prepare for what comes next.” – Marisa, 2023 MBA Graduate from a top university

“As a college football player, the decision to stay in school or enter the NFL draft was an incredibly important and challenging one. Sam’s coaching, without bias, made a huge difference in helping me navigate this critical career decision. It was so nice to have someone to talk to that wasn’t biased or thinking about their cut of my decision, but instead was just helping me make the right decision for me. I am grateful for Sam’s mentorship and highly recommend their coaching to any athlete facing a career-defining decision.” – KJ Costello, Former Quarterback for Stanford, Mississippi State, the LA Chargers, and the New Orleans Saints
