About Keegan
Keegan’s Competition Mindset Coaching preparation includes National University’s Sport Psychology Certificate for Coaches, Parents, and Care Givers, NFHS Mental Training for Performance, and NFHS Coaching Mental Wellness. He is SafeSport® Trained and a Furious Stylez coach & instructor.
He and Cadence build the Furious Stylez instructionals together, so what you are watching comes from someone still competing under the rules he is teaching you to work in. In a session that shows up as specifics — where the hand goes, which detail is actually holding the position together, and what to do when the setup is not clean and you have to make it work anyway.
Private Lessons pair Keegan and Cadence in one prepared session shaped by your submitted footage and the priorities you name.
Competition mindset credentials
Credentials & training
Keegan’s Competition Mindset Coaching preparation brings together sport-psychology education, mental-performance training, mental-wellness coach education, SafeSport® training, and active competition experience.
Sport Psychology Certificate for Coaches, Parents, and Care Givers — National University
Earning this credential from National University bridges the gap between mat technique and advanced sports psychology. This specialized training provides actionable, evidence-based tools to optimize an athlete's focus, build confidence, and sustain long-term motivation. It explicitly focuses on managing youth and adult development, aligning parental and coach communication, and understanding the unique cultural dynamics of competitive sports.
How it impacts your training: I use these frameworks to help you map out your athletic goals, shift your internal self-talk, and create a sustainable lifestyle that prevents burnout and fuels competitive drive.
Mental Training for Performance — NFHS
Formulated in partnership with the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), this advanced course through the NFHS Learning Center introduces foundational mental skills utilized by world-class, elite athletes. The curriculum targets the precise attributes that give competitors a psychological edge when stepping onto the big stage.
How it impacts your training: We dive deep into tactical mental conditioning, focusing intensely on three core pillars: proactive goal-setting, high-performance self-talk, and energy/arousal management so you can control your adrenaline under the pressure of competition.
Coaching Mental Wellness — NFHS
Developed alongside the NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, this certification focuses entirely on supporting athletes through the mental and emotional hurdles of competitive sports. It establishes a comprehensive wellness framework that bridges life off the mat with performance on it, focusing on how anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress impact an athlete's focus and capabilities.
How it impacts your training: Competition can bring intense psychological weight. This training ensures I can recognize warning signs of overtraining or mental fatigue early. It gives us the tools to replace performance anxiety and negative thought loops with adaptive, positive scripts.
SafeSport® Trained — U.S. Center for SafeSport
Developed by the U.S. Center for SafeSport, this official training is the benchmark for abuse prevention and ethical boundary enforcement across American athletics. This comprehensive training ensures a zero-tolerance environment for emotional, physical, or sexual misconduct, bullying, and hazing.
How it impacts your training: Combat sports require immense physical contact and emotional vulnerability. Holding this training status means I proactively maintain strict professional accountability and clear boundaries. By ensuring a completely safe, respectful mat environment, you are freed up to take calculated risks, fail without shame, and learn faster.
