“I was having a hard time getting into the right mind state and competing as well as I knew I could. After working with Gene I competed in 4 tournaments, 3 of them were 3 weight classes above my own and won 1st place in every one of them. Gene helped show me how to stay calm and collected during those times where pressure and anxiety get the best of us. During my competition I was just out there having fun and it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders! I would like to thank Gene and his awesome talent for helping me perform to the best of my abilities!”

“When I first approached Gene Plotkin I was a little embarrassed. I am a Pan American Champion and multiple NY state champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu yet I was not performing to the best of my ability. Gene was able to show me that my mental block was mostly fear based. A fear that by the end of the session we were literally laughing about. Now my game is back on track and I still will look back and laugh at the situation.”

“Before working with Gene Plotkin, I was always nervous before important matches or before I went up against very good wrestlers. Now, I don’t have a doubt in my mind before I wrestle and the results show: I placed in districts and I have recently won two tournaments in a row. I now feel great before a match and do not get nervous at all. Gene certainly helped me to become a better and more focused wrestler!
Thanks for your help!”

“Before working with Gene Plotkin, I was expecting to receive tips on positive thinking and things like that. What Gene did help me do is learn and realize how easily I can control my thoughts and my mental state. He also taught me great exercises on how quickly I can bring my mind into the “Zone” and how to send a rush of power, confidence and excitement through out my body immediately! I also learned how to envision things in my mind being done a lot easier and then physically doing them as easy as I envisioned. My expectations were surpassed by leaps and bounds because I know have a whole new level of confidence and mental power leading in to all future tournaments. I’m learning how easy it can be to control my mind and its thoughts and also realizing how powerful it is. I feel AMAZING AND POWERFUL!!
Thank you so much!”

“Before working with Gene, I was having some issues with my confidence and doubting my ability to compete well enough to win. I was afraid of facing top ranked opponents and this was affecting my ability to compete. I was wrestling scared of my opponents, but after working with Gene, I was able to compete to the best of my ability and was aggressive and just having fun, as before I was timid during my matches and afraid of my opponents. Gene helped immensely in getting over that fear.”

“Before working with Gene I would become super anxious, nervous almost to a point of losing all composure. He successfully assisted me in regaining my physical and mental composure in my every day life but especially right before my super fight matches. Thanks to Gene’s help I feel mentally and physical whole again. I don’t feel anxious, nervous or over excited I just simply keep my composure and get the job done!”

“My problem as a wrestler has always been my nerves, if people told me that the guy I’m going to wrestle was good I got nervous. After working with Gene Plotkin, I didn’t get nervous anymore whether the guy was good or not. Working with Gene was very fun he would always listen to you. He has helped me become an overall better wrestler, and I learned that no one person can stop me from winning a match, unless I allow them. I thank Gene, as my nerves will not be an issue anymore.”

I had anxiety problems regarding my performance as a Jiu Jitsu player. Not only was I nervous in competition and “shutting down”, I viewed each rolling session as life or death. I was miserable, and my positive results were minimal. I had only one talk with Gene and it dramatically changed my perspective on competition and practice. The change was gradual, and over time I began to loosen up, calm down, and focus! Since then I have won my first competition, and I’m really enjoying each and every time I’m on the mat. I definitely owe a lot to Gene’s words which had a deep and lasting effect on me.

“From the very first session with Gene Plotkin, I began to see results. His methods opened my eyes and mind, with his help I was able to overcome the many obstacles that stood before me. I have gotten rid of the problems that have plagued me through my life, and was able to transform myself into a better, more productive and successful person. I am able to move on with my life anew and fresh with the knowledge that he helped me work through my problems. After working with Gene I now feel that I can overcome anything that stands in my path whether it be in the past, the present or the future.”
