“I have always maintained that team bonding & relationships are the driving force of our teams success but Doc Ali helped us take this to a new level that earned us “Back2Back” National Championships. She helped us overcome the mental struggles & encouraged us to adopt an unbeatable mentality.”–Sarah Patterson
NCAA, 2x National Championship Head Gymnastics Coach (Ret.), University of Alabama
“Doc Ali’s tools, guidance, and vision were extremely instrumental to my success as an athlete. Habitually, I still use the mental skills in my highly demanding career and my beautiful life.”
–Kristina Baskett
NCAA National Champion, 12-time All-American, Actor, Hollywood Stunt Performer
“My daughter has struggled with fear, meet anxiety, and injury during her gymnastics career, and Doc Ali has been a huge help in keeping her on track and teaching her to manage the pressure. Thank you Ali for everything!”
– Sheila, gymnastics mom
“I like that Doc Ali and HeadGames teaches the kids that fears are normal and healthy. I feel that her goal is to teach them how to manage their fear. She does that by comparing the mind to a muscle. Tight mind = tight muscles. Loose mind = loose muscles. Athletes work hard to strengthen their muscles and they need to work equally as hard to strengthen their minds.”
– Caroline, gymnastics mom
“My Level 10 daughter competed in two events last weekend and I could see a big difference in her focus. She stuck her beam, series, dismount, and all! This was an amazing accomplishment for her since she was struggling the week prior to competition. Thank you so much!”
– DeAnn, gymnastics mom
“I am so grateful you are doing this. We have some girls involved and it has really boosted their confidence. Thank you Dr Allison Arnold. You are a true gift by teaching our athletes tools to help them navigate gymnastics but also tools for life. Thank you!!!!”
–Carol G, gymnastics coach
“My daughter was sad dealing with her injury. Now she is back and looks awesome! Everyone is asking me and her how she is doing it. Thank you for your program!”
– Heidi, gymnastics mom
“HeadGames’ website is full of motivational and positive materials for athletes. I purchased this program that helped with mental visualization and overcoming fears. It was worth every penny! My athlete listened to the program the first night, and I could see that she was very happy to have another “tool” to help her. I highly recommend any of HeadGames’ materials.”
– Kim, gymnastics mom
“Doc Ali, I wanted to let you know you have helped another gymmie (10 years old, level 7) and her mom! Last year, my daughter started having trouble with balking on her round-off, back handspring, back layout tumbling pass. Her coaches suggested I get your program, which I did. After a painful five months, she slowly started tumbling again. For various reasons, I decided to move her to another gym. Imagine my surprise and delight to learn the new gym works with ALL the girls on your mental toughness program EVERY week, together, coaches and gymnasts! You know how important the mental aspect of the sport of gymnastics is. My daughter’s new coaches do, too, and they are willing to train her mentally as well as physically. Thank you for providing them the support for her to continue in and succeed in the sport she loves.”
– Gretchen, gymnastics mom
“Ali, first, I want to thank you. I am seeing a more confident Chelsey. It is so great to see that she is excited about the upcoming season! She even says that bars are one of her favorite events, where in the past it was the one that caused the most anxiety! We owe it to you and HeadGames. Thank you.”
– Tina, gymnastics mom
“My gym started working with Doc Ali and HeadGames around four years ago. At that time we had several fears and were not competing the way I knew we could. We were able to give the girls what they needed to not only work through their fears, but even go further! We also took first in state as icing on the cake!"
– April, gymnastics coach
