“It was apparent that you took time to learn about each athlete ahead of time. The one-on-one attention and instruction through on-camera interviews and training sessions that you and your staff provided was very well-received.”
“The sessions were very professional, but came across as personal to our athletes. That left a great impression on our athletes, and the feedback from them has not only been positive, it has been enthusiastic.”
“USSS could not be more pleased with the results, and I would highly recommend MVP to any NGB that is interested in doing media training. In fact, USSS plans on engaging MVP for a follow-up session prior to the 2008 Olympic Games.”

"I would definitely recommend you to any institution that inquires. You relate well to the student-athlete...Their eyes were really opened once they realized it was fine to defer a question, or to answer another question but not the one asked."
"Your teaching cues were right on target. Because these ques were instant and then you provided a follow up DVD, the students have a great opportunity to learn and practice."
"I have witnessed a new level of confidence the students who participated in this training have since working with you."

“I want to sincerely thank you and MVP for the great job you did with educating our players about media relations and the interview process.”

“The one-on-one sessions were very valuable, especially allowing everyone to watch the tape of their interview. For some, that may have been the first time they’ve seen the way they look and sound on television. The tough questions were perfect.”
"Each player was given several tips they will be able to use this season and in the future.”
“Some probably did not think they needed the training…but after going through it, they realize the benefits.”
“The group session at the end of the day was a nice way to wrap it up. The example interviews, both good and bad, tied together many of your suggestions.”
“Coach Heath understands the importance of the training and was especially pleased with the one-on-one sessions.”

| “Thanks so much...it was an educational experience for all CSU players, coaches, and administrators to take part in.”
“Your training really gave our players something to think about each time they step into an interview session. Learning how to be a good communicator is something that will not only help them through their time as a student-athlete but when they leave school as well.”
All of your examples really helped them to realize how professional they need to act any time they are in the public’s eye.”

"On behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, I want to thank you for the fine professional job you did in working with our athletes...I can strongly recommend your sports media training to all levels of student athletes from large universities to small colleges."
"Just as an athlete must respond in the sports setting, so too must individuals be prepared to be agile and effective in dealing with the media."
"Our student athletes have a great deal of interaction with the American public by virtue of their affiliation at one of our nation's service academies...The "do's and don'ts" of dealing with the media was very enlightening for them, and your visual presentation really drove your points home."
