using neuroscience as a foundation, I help athletes to train their brain like they train their bodies. From Pro athletes to elite athletes who live down the street from me, I help you break through the mental barriers that are holding you back.
i have studied and lived the principles that i will take you through, empowering you to take back control of your life, and not just operate on auto-pilot. this is about creating a life of intention, and becoming who you want to become.
formally Educated in neuroscience, intercultural communication, conflict resolution, coaching, breathwork... in case you really care (it's okay, you probably don't).

“This particular off-season was extremely tough for a variety of reasons. In particular, my option wasn’t picked up, and I knew I wanted to keep playing… I’m extremely grateful to have found David Hitz @theneuropro He really helped me approach things in a different way and open my eyes to new methods. When the call came (from Greg and Chicago Fire FC), I was ready and beyond grateful. As I enter this now 17th Season of Major League Soccer (MLS), I do so as a stronger person, and more grounded. I am more clear with my vision of who I am and what my future self looks like, and am showing up as him more every day.”

“Working with David (the neuro pro) has completely transformed my mental and physical game as an athlete. A few of my favorite tools that we worked on in my program were cold exposure, future self meditation, and various breathing exercises. Mentally David gave me mental questions and challenges such as “what is the next best move that I can make” and “how is life happening for me rather than to me” in order to build a stronger relationship between me and my mental self. David also helped me understand how the proper amounts of sleep, protein, and water are crucial to keeping a strong mind and body. These techniques have all positively impacted my mental and physical game. From when I started meeting with David to now, I feel like a different person, the person I had set my goals to become in our first meeting. I now take a different positive approach to challenging situations that I wouldn’t have been able to overcome in the past. I feel much more confident in my abilities to overcome adversity and continue growing and bettering myself with the tools I have learned. I highly recommend working with David to anyone looking to enhance mental strength and overall well being.”

“Throughout my meetings and sessions with David I grew and developed as an athlete mentally and it reflected in my performances. We did many different mental training methods like visualization, breathing exercises, journaling, reflection, and what “the next best thing” means. It was extremely helpful and this reflected in my on field performances. I was much more dialed in and focused on what was going on as well the fact that it helped me be more confident in my actions. It also helped me relax on the field, I wasn’t constantly worked up about performing my best or underperforming, I was relaxed and believed in myself.
I can honestly say that I benefited greatly from working with David and it is something I highly recommend for athletes who are looking to improve their game and mentally take that next step.”

“David completely helped me change my game off and on the field. I've never been able to play so clear headed in my life, due to David helping me through everything on the mental side of my game.
David in such a short period of time has helped me grow mentally faster and think more clearly then ever before. With just the little talks we have it makes me realize the abilities I have and the abilities I can get. David is a huge help and I will be forever grateful for his time.
Couldn't ask for anyone better!"

Meet Skyler (in the middle). These are the Brother's Hitz.
This is the last picture that we took together.
When my brother died by suicide on his 39th birthday, it changed everything.
I realized that most athletes — and most people — push their bodies but neglect their minds and spirits. I dove into neuroscience, performance psychology, and self-care to understand how we can rewire our brains to create change.
What I found gave me hope — and now it’s giving athletes tools to find theirs.
