MORNING TRAINING
Three Core Modules:
🧠 ABM Mindset Training
Build focus, clarity, and confidence through immersive learning and applied mental fitness exercises.
🎯 RAS Activation
Train your Reticular Activating System — the brain network that filters attention and perception — to recognize opportunity and maintain focus.
Daily Gratitude, Aspiration, and Mission-based prompts help you recognize opportunities, strengthen purpose, and lock onto your goals.
⏱️ Mindset Minutes™
Short reflections that strengthen your mindset one rep at a time and connect training to real-life performance.
After each visualization, respond to a quick 60-second VideoAsk prompt connecting that day’s mindset to your real-life performance.
There’s no right or wrong answer — every reflection strengthens your Mental Edge.
EVENING TRAINING
Two Reflection Modules
Evening ABM Workouts focus on reset and consolidation:
💭 PM Reflection
Integrate what you’ve learned, solidify insights, and identify growth moments that strengthen neural pathways for lasting change.
⚙️ PM Equipment
Practical tools and recovery strategies you can use under pressure — manage nerves, recover from mistakes, regain focus, and perform at your best.
At the start of your journey, you’ll complete a Pre-Assessment to establish your personal baseline.
Additional assessments are completed at key milestones to track growth and progress over time.
You’ll then complete three additional assessments at the 30-, 60-, and 90-day marks to track improvement, celebrate milestones, and see how far you’ve come.
Assessments include:
🧠 Mental Edge Pre-Assessment (Baseline)
🔄 Mental Edge 30-Day Assessment
📈 Mental Edge 60-Day Assessment
🌱 Mental Edge Post-Assessment (Celebrate Your Growth)
All assessments are completed directly inside the app and are used solely to support your development.
✅ Simply click the checkmark in the top-left corner of your screen to mark the module complete. Your assessment is automatically saved and tracked behind the scenes — no need to re-do it or worry about losing progress.
The Mental Edge Academy includes year-round live coaching access, designed to provide support without requiring custom scheduling for teams.
Office Hours provide consistent, live access to Mental Edge coaches.
Days: Tuesdays & Thursdays
Time: 8:00 PM EST
Format: Live, Zoom-based
Length: 30 minutes per session

Leadership development and mindset refinement
📩 Session details and access links are shared each Monday via text and email, so you’ll always know what’s coming up and how to join.
Mental strength is built the same way physical strength is built — through consistent reps over time.
The Mental Edge Academy works because it is
🧠 Neuroplasticity
Your brain gets stronger with reps — just like your body. Short daily sessions create new neural pathways that strengthen confidence, clarity, and mental toughness.
🎯 Reticular Activating System (RAS)
Your brain’s built-in focus filter. Morning workouts activate your RAS to cut through distractions, sharpen awareness, and lock in your goals and identity. Focus isn’t luck — it’s trained.
Growth Mindset Skills:
Adaptability | Curiosity | Reflection | Self-Development | Challenge Mastery
Mental Strength Traits:
Grit | Perseverance | Fortitude | Emotional Stamina | Tenacity
These aren’t just traits — they’re tools. Built daily. Carried for life.
