Professional performance client, 2020-present
Testimonial from Jonathan
For most of my life my talent and effort levels have been “fine”. This allowed me to succeed in most of my interests including academics, athletics/hobbies, social life, personal health, and eventual profession. Amit was the first person to ever give it to me straight and tell me that “fine” is not good enough, ultimately making me realize that I am not living up to my potential and that I ought to do something about it.
Shortly after my graduation from UNC Chapel Hill, I met Amit at a card night hosted by mutual friends. The first thing I noticed about Amit was his confidence, and while it put my ego on guard at first, I quickly became more interested in the second thing I noticed about him that nobody else in the room seemed to have: discipline. After a few friendly conversations, I knew learning from his mindset would help me in life.
At the time, Amit was having success coaching in a volleyball club and wanted to expand into professional mindset work. I felt I had too many hobbies and not enough time or focus to really crush all of them. Working with Amit was a fantastic decision. The first few months were tough. Amit is not someone who backs down from an opinion. But the results were immediate. Within 3 years, I was able to build a profitable poker bankroll (turning a hobby into a fun part-time job), go from a 4 rating in pool to a 6, and land my dream sales job at SAS-JMP. My next goal is to take my physical fitness to a new level – yet another skill I look forward to working with Amit on.
At this point I consider Amit one of my very best friends. He holds me accountable to myself and my friends and family. We help each other succeed in our respective businesses and personal relationships. We expose one another to different perspectives and grow because of it. I know for a fact that these dynamics extend to his network of students which is a testament to his commitment to push everyone in his network to succeed. I am thankful I met and invested in Amit when I did, but I imagine there could have only been more upside if we had met earlier in life.
Amit is the biggest asshole I know, a dear friend, an even better mentor, and the only performance coach I will ever use.
Best,
Jonny Nunez
