Your athletes are having conversations without you right now. In the locker room. In the car. At 2am before a big game. THE GRIND shapes what those conversations sound like — and who your athletes become when nobody is watching.

Why This Works

SHAPE THE
ATHLETE.
BUILD THE
PERSON.

I grew up in southwest Florida and came to Baton Rouge in 2014. Every morning I walk into LSU Athletics as Assistant Athletics Director of Training and Leadership Development, overseeing the transformational education that every student-athlete at LSU completes outside the classroom. Over the past six years I have worked with every team in the program. About 500 athletes a year. I know what they carry.

Here is what I see that nobody else is seeing: athletes are some of the most vulnerable people in the world. They look mature beyond their years. Some of the elite ones have become the primary breadwinners for their entire family overnight. But deep down they are young people yearning for truth, authenticity, and genuineness in a world where they don’t know who to trust. They don’t need me to help them with the mechanics of their sport. They need education that helps them understand themselves so they can evolve into professionals. Complete human beings who contribute beyond sport.

I have been called specifically to work with some of the most talented athletes in collegiate athletics, including athletes who have gone on to the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Not because of a credential on the wall. Because I connect. I build trust. I give honest conversations. I have helped teams find the words that bring a locker room together, helped athletes develop responses for the moments when everything goes sideways, and facilitated player-led meetings that addressed what nobody else was willing to say out loud.

That is what THE GRIND is. This goes beyond sports psychology. Beyond coaching. Education that builds the person, so the athlete can perform at their ceiling.

“My ultimate goal is to shape athletes into people who will eventually change the world. That starts with helping them understand who they are, quiet the noise, and put the pieces together.”

The Education

UNDERSTAND
YOURSELF.
EVOLVE.

This goes beyond sports psychology. No clinical language, no textbook frameworks. Six weeks of real talk that builds in sequence, because you cannot quiet the noise if you don’t know where it is coming from. You cannot lead others if you have not learned to lead yourself. Each week builds on the one before.

Week One

Know Yourself

You cannot perform beyond your self-awareness. We start here. Honest, specific, and with no shortcuts.

Week Two

Control the Controllable

Pressure does not discriminate. You will learn what to do with it before it decides for you.

Week Three

The Stories You Tell

The narrative in your head is either working for you or against you. We find out which. Then we fix it.

Week Four

Perform Under Pressure

This is where the work pays off. Real tools for real moments. Not theory. Application.

Week Five

Lead Yourself First

You cannot lead a team if you cannot lead yourself. Accountability is not punishment. It is respect.

Week Six

The Life After

The sport will end. You will not. We build the mental framework that outlasts every uniform.

What You Walk Away With

Know Yourself

Not the version of you that shows up on the field. The one carrying everything else. The pressure, the family, the noise, the doubt. You cannot quiet what you have not named. We start here.

Quiet the Noise

There is a difference between the pressure that is real and the pressure you have invented. Learning to tell them apart is a skill. It can be taught. By the time you leave this cohort, you will have a system for it.

Put the Pieces Together

This is where self-knowledge becomes performance. Where the work you have done on who you are starts showing up in what you do. Not theory. The actual transfer from the room to the field.

Evolve Beyond the Athlete

The sport will end. What you are building here will not. The goal of this program is not to make you a better competitor, though that will happen. The goal is to make you a complete human being who contributes beyond sport.

What Your First Session Looks Like

0:00–0:10

Check-in. Every athlete answers one question out loud. Not a warm-up. A calibration. Where are you actually right now?

0:10–0:50

The work. Week one is about self-knowledge. Eddie leads the group through identifying the patterns: mental, emotional, behavioral. The ones shaping your performance without your permission.

0:50–1:10

Open floor. This is not a lecture. Athletes respond, push back, and build off each other. The cohort format is not incidental. The other 11 people in the room are part of the work.

1:10–1:30

Assignment. You leave with something specific to do before next week. Not homework. A mission. This is what separates knowledge from change.

This Is For

THE ATHLETE
READY TO
BECOME MORE.

Athletes carry more than most people will ever understand. Some are the youngest in their family and the primary breadwinner overnight. All of them are young people trying to figure out who they are in a world where they don’t always know who to trust. This work is for the ones who are ready to do something about that.

🏆

The Athlete Who Carries a Lot

You are performing. Maybe performing well. But there is a weight on you that nobody on the outside can see. Family. Expectation. The pressure to be everything for everyone. This is not weakness. This is the reality of being an elite athlete. And there is a way to carry it differently.

🔄

The Athlete Who Wants to Be More Than an Athlete

You already know the sport is not the whole story. You want to be someone who contributes beyond the field, the court, the track. That kind of person does not happen by accident. It takes education. This is that education.

THE GRIND is new. But the work behind it is not. For over a decade Eddie has worked inside one of the most competitive athletic environments in the country. He has been called specifically to work with elite collegiate athletes, including athletes who have gone on to the NBA, NFL, and MLB. The methodology in this cohort is the same methodology that earned that trust.

When the first cohort closes, their words will be here. Until then, the work speaks for itself.

FAQ

QUESTIONS
ANSWERED.

The things athletes and parents ask before they commit. Real answers, no jargon.

THE GRIND is a mental performance cohort operating at the intersection of both. Foundation and Full Access tiers are education-based: no diagnosis, no clinical records. The Elite tier adds formal individual therapy sessions with Eddie, which are clinical and covered by HIPAA confidentiality. If you are unsure which fits, the free consultation exists for that exact conversation.

The cohort operates on a mutual confidentiality agreement. Every athlete commits to keeping what is shared inside the room. For the Elite tier’s individual sessions, full HIPAA confidentiality applies by law. Your privacy is foundational to everything.

No. Nothing you share is reported to coaches, programs, or institutions regardless of tier. Eddie does not work for your coaching staff. He works for you. The only exception is imminent risk of harm. That is a legal requirement and applies to the Elite clinical tier only.

All sessions are recorded and available to cohort members. Missing a session is not the end of the world. But this is a cohort, not a course. The other athletes in the room are part of the work. Consistent presence matters. If a date won’t work, raise that before you commit.

Some of the most impactful work happens in-season, when what you are learning has immediate application. 90 minutes per week is a training block. Treat it like one. The athletes who get the most out of this cohort are doing the work while their sport is active.

No. The cohort is built for athletes ready to start, not athletes who already have a practice. Week one assumes nothing except that you showed up. If you want a conversation before committing, book a free 30-minute call with Eddie.

Show up to week one. Do the work. If at the end of that first session it is genuinely not the right fit, reach out directly and Eddie will make it right. There is no formal refund after week two. The cohort’s value compounds session by session.

Individual therapy is one-on-one and goes wherever you need it to go — trauma, anxiety, grief, relationships, personal growth. THE GRIND is purpose-built for mental performance in a competitive context, with the added dimension of a cohort. The other athletes are part of your growth. Many athletes do both, and the Elite tier is the most direct combination of the two. Learn about individual therapy at eddiestvil.com — insurance accepted, virtual across Louisiana.

For Parents

YOU KNOW
SOMETHING IS
WEIGHING ON THEM.

Right now your athlete is carrying weight you cannot fully see. The pressure to perform. The expectations of the team, the family, the school. The question of who they are when the sport is not going well. Most of it they are not telling you.

THE GRIND gives them a space to work through it with someone who has been trusted by elite athletes at every level, and who will give them honest conversations, not textbook answers. They leave with tools for right now and an identity that holds beyond the sport.

For Coaches

CULTURE IS BUILT
IN WHAT YOU DON’T SEE.

The conversations your athletes are having right now, without you. In the locker room. In the car home. In the 2am spiral before a big game. Those conversations define your culture more than any practice plan does.

Eddie has helped teams find the words that bring a locker room together, develop responses for moments of crisis, and run player-led meetings that addressed what nobody else was willing to say. Bring this work to your program. Custom cohorts built for the specific culture and needs of your team.
