Our athletes and coaches loved working with David on mental performance. His clear and insightful approach, especially from someone who has rowed, resonated with the group greatly. His attention to detail and follow up with easy to consume infographic analysis on athlete questions are next level when considering how to engage and have a substantive response to a complicated subject area. There can be no one size fits approach and David acknowledged this perfectly and still managed to connect with our team at a high level.

Dr. Schary helped me simplify my thinking to one or two things during a race, not everything at once. He uses easy to understand concepts and is very relatable.

The way Dr. Schary explained the difference between racing and training brain made perfect sense. It helped me describe the mental shift from practice to race day and better support my rowers in those environments. His teaching style is explanatory and relevant, and it added insight especially for coxswains into what’s actually going on in the rowers’ brains.

Dr. Schary really helped me do well on my 2k. It gave me a way to break it down and not stress so much over it. Very reassuring and informational — it helped me realize my worries didn’t need so much precedence in my mind.
