Rise Volleyball Partners with The Bold Break to Implement Comprehensive Mental Performance Training
Rogue Valley's premier volleyball program adopts proven M.A.Z.E. methodology to develop confident, resilient athletes who thrive on and off the court
Napa, CA -- Rise Volleyball, the Rogue Valley's premier youth volleyball program, today announced a strategic partnership with The Bold Break to implement comprehensive mental performance training for all players, coaches, and families. The collaboration brings The Bold Break's proven M.A.Z.E. Model methodology directly to Rise Volleyball athletes through the Elite Tier program, providing systematic tools for building confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience.
The partnership addresses a critical gap in youth athletics, where 70% of athletes report performance-related anxiety and nearly 50% experience burnout symptoms by age 15. Through The Bold Break's neuroscience-backed approach, Rise Volleyball athletes will develop mental skills that enhance both athletic performance and life success.
"We're building something special at Rise Volleyball—a community where young athletes don't just compete, they grow into confident leaders," said Gabby Cole, Founder and CEO of The Bold Break. "This Elite Tier partnership demonstrates Rise's commitment to developing the whole athlete. Together, we're creating an environment where mental performance training isn't an afterthought—it's woven into the fabric of everything they do. These athletes will have tools for handling pressure that most athletes never learn."
The Elite Tier implementation includes The Compass Journal for every athlete and coach, access to The Bold Break's Digital Studio platform featuring the complete M.A.Z.E. Model training system (Mindset, Analyze, Zero In, Execute), monthly live group coaching calls, and five onsite support sessions throughout the year. The program also provides weekly accountability reminders, tournament reflection templates, and a custom season integration plan designed specifically for Rise Volleyball's training calendar and competitive schedule.
Beyond Traditional Sports Psychology
The Bold Break's approach treats mental training as a systematic skill developed through consistent practice. Rather than one-time motivational talks, athletes engage in daily mental training that builds confidence through repeated application of proven techniques. The partnership extends beyond athletes to include comprehensive support for coaches and parents, ensuring everyone works from the same mental performance playbook.
Proven Results
The Bold Break methodology has demonstrated measurable impact across hundreds of athletes nationwide. Programs implementing the M.A.Z.E. Model report improved team cohesion, better performance under pressure, and athletes who display greater resilience both in competition and daily life.
