Rave Reviews

"A powerful coach...  Truly inspiring."

"A proven winner...  Every aspect of what it takes to be among the world's elite is covered in Jim's program..."

"Jim is in the upper percentile of coaches. He's definitely on the cutting edge of the power of the mind. His seminar The Dream Season was huge for me both personally and how I work with athletes. There are definitely things I will act on from this seminar."       

"Before working with Jim, our team was plagued with underachievement and a lack of team unity. In one year, Jim turned our team into Canadian and U.S. national champions - both firsts in 100 years of UBC varsity golf. Neither titles would have been possible without Jim's guidance and inspiration!" I cannot thank Jim enough for his coaching, guidance, and inspiration over the past 3 years. He has helped me become a better golfer, team captain, student, and individual than I thought possible. My time on the UBC varsity golf team has passed but I will continue to seek Jim's guidance, read his books, and live my life accordingly. I wish everyone could be exposed to Jim's coaching!"

Jim,Thanks for everything. There is no doubt I could not have done it without you. Anyway, I am really excited to be here [playing professionally] and to hopefully help them to play a little more like Murphy would have them. I feel extremely privileged to have worked with you. …I don’t feel what I have said really encompasses all I have learned from you, and I have trouble getting it into words. I wish you could really know what you have done for me… 

"Jim has been a huge addition to our team. We had a lot of young, inexperienced guys this year and with Jim's powerful influence, helping us focus, believe, and visualize, we were able to stay in the moment and play with passion. In one of the biggest events of our players' lives, they played with poise under pressure. Jim had a major role in that, with not just our players but also with the coaching staff. I truly believe the inclusion of Jim Murphy in our program this year was one of the main reasons we became a championship TEAM."

“Jim Murphy has been my coach the past two years and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Since day one I’ve learned so many valuable things on and off the golf course. Jim brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to all his athletes, as well as a caring and enthusiastic attitude. He builds a trusting friendship with his athletes that will last forever.

Jim has helped me personally stay poised under pressure and overcome the fear and doubt that arise in competition. Since he began working with myself and the entire team (UBC) two years ago, he has helped transform us from a skillful team that couldn’t win the big one, to NAIA and RCGA national champions. We transformed from a group of individuals to a powerful team that carried themselves with pride, confidence, and true resonance. I owe a lot of my success both on and off the golf course to the coaching Jim has provided and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jim’s guidance. Thanks Jim!”

“The score is for the fans, we play for the love of the game.”

“I really want to tell you that I thought you did a fantastic job last year and that you really, really helped me, most notably towards the end of the season.”

"Jim's passion in preparing our student-athletes for competition is taking our men's golf program to the next level. He's a great communicator. He works directly with the coaching staff and players, bringing new levels of confidence, focus, and excitement to our game. Jim helps me be a more effective coach and together we're a powerful team."

"I really appreciate what you've done for the team and myself. Your book is one of the best I've read and I've read a lot of baseball books... Reading your book and speaking with you has made me a better coach."

"Jim was a huge part of our national championship. He showed us how to shut off our minds, how to relax in pressure situations, and how to play with passion. I learned so much from him: how the mind works, how to become detached from the outcome, how to stay in the now, and all the things that prevent me from doing that. Jim is an amazing coach—I can see why he's so successful."

“I am grateful to have met and learned from someone like you. I’ve never met anyone like you. Thanks again and we will keep in touch.”

"Jim is a master at keeping you focused in the moment while also allowing you to expand your goals and dreams."

Jim,Thanks so much for all you’ve done. I was just telling my wife what a huge impact you’ve had on the team. Your work with the guys has made a tremendous difference. The coaches and players all agree what a big help you’ve been. 

"Jim, I got asked who my biggest inspiration was and who helped me be the best athlete I could be.......YOU where the first person to come to mind. Thanks for your dedication to not only help me live a fulfilled life but reach my full athletic potential."

"Jim's a phenomenal coach. The work he's done with athletes and teams, turning around careers, winning national championships, it's amazing. He brings a presence to every team he works with. He's such a great communicator—he seems to know the athletes better than they know themselves. I can't say enough about Jim."

"I had the chance to work with Jim Murphy who was a big part of my mental approach to baseball and life—thanks Jim!"

“Training with Jim changed my life. I’ve grown in many ways, not the least of which is having far more confidence.”

“Coach Jim’s preparation of our team for the Olympics was much more than physical. Not only was I in the best shape of my life, but mentally I was totally prepared.”

Jim,

I wanted to tell you how much you’ve helped me. You gave me the hope to become the person I wanted to be, by telling me, it's possible because others did.

· I realized I can realize my deepest dreams.
· I realized I wasn't crazy.
· I realized I was in the right way for my life, consequently most of the doubts disappeared.

· YOU GAVE ME CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF
And because my confidence grew so much I have started to truly live. You gave me a key which can open all the doors. Everything is happening NOW. (I was sure this key was somewhere on earth, I was looking for it many years. I followed my heart, completely blind by the hope to find it, and I came to Vancouver and I finally got it).

The most helpful things you've taught me: I'm allowed to listen to my heart by taking in consideration all the thoughts flowing through my mind.

· how to live the present moment.
· how to connect with my true self.
· how to be myself with others,

I just remembered one of the first things I told you: This first month in Vancouver is like, I met several persons, and each person represents one part of myself. You are one of them. I remembered so clearly now, I can still imagine, when I was talking to you at Monica's place, I saw at that moment my brain divided in several parts. Thanks Jim.

"Training with you has been awesome. Thanks for everything you've done for me. Mentally, physically, nutritionally--I'm ready to go."

“Don’t change a thing Jim. You are excellent at what you do and we have a gold medal to prove it. It would be interesting to work with you for a season not just one week. I could sit and listen to you for hours because I enjoy the psych side of what it takes to win.”

"I read the book from cover to cover and it will change your life. The book is a must read IF you desire to transform your personal and professional identity into something beyond the ordinary."
