A mistake, criticism, or setback changes the next decision.

Why work with Phil
Practical training. A real conversation. One person accountable.
I’m Philip Coffman, founder of iBE Performance. I studied sport leadership and coaching at Miami University and coached Miami University men’s lacrosse. My approach connects performance-psychology principles to the real situations athletes, teams, leaders, and performers face.
You speak directly with me. I listen to the challenge, explain what I can help you train, and discuss whether working together makes sense. Mental performance coaching is not clinical therapy.
