WHY 7PILLAR
From youth sports all the way up to the pros, athletes and coaches are struggling with their identity and mental health. Current athletic culture and a complete lack of quality resources have created and exaggerated these issues. We created 7Pillar to meet this need and fill the gap by providing high level resources for identity, mindset and lifestyle training.

Identity: Personal identity is the foundation of our life. It determines how we think, live, and interact with the world around us. When we fully understand who God created us to be, we will become all that we are capable of becoming. We will walk into our lives, our sport, and our spheres of influence with confidence and make great impact in the lives of those around us. We will experience more success in all areas of life, and we will be able to overcome failures and setbacks, as they will no longer have the power to define who we are.
Mindset: Mindset is the second piece of the foundation on which our lives are built. It is the ultimate driver of our thoughts, behaviors, and ability to perform. Not only do we need to cultivate the right perspectives and thought patterns, but we also need to understand the root causes of issues like performance anxiety, burnout, and other mental health challenges. 7Pillar offers high-level mental training tools that will help you perform at your peak and experience confidence, consistency, and stability in your life and sport.
Lifestyle: Lifestyle is the culmination of our identity and mindset. It is how we live out our personal beliefs, and it is the standards we hold ourselves accountable to. After we intentionally build a strong foundation, we must allow these beliefs to infiltrate every area of our life. If we don’t, we will be missing out on the fullness of life that is available to us. 7Pillar is a way of living that allows us to reach and sustain our potential, first as a human, and then as an athlete.
Relationships: Relationships are the currency of life. We will only truly thrive as people and as athletes if we learn to develop meaningful, healthy relationships. When we intentionally surround ourselves with the right people, we will grow into the best versions of ourselves and make the greatest impact on the world around us.
Nutrition: Food is much more than fuel. When we choose to nourish our bodies with the most nutrient-dense, life-giving foods we will experience optimal health, energy, and vitality. In today’s world, consuming cheap, processed foods has become the norm but has left us chronically sick, injured, tired, inflamed, and stressed. Developing a deep understanding of how food impacts our bodies and utilizing practical, science-backed nutrition tools will give us a tremendous boost to our overall health and athletic performance.
Fitness: Movement is medicine. Exercise offers numerous benefits, including improvements in strength, speed, endurance, cognitive function, mood, injury prevention, and more. There is no one size fits all method, but an effective fitness program will include strength training, speed and agility work, cardiovascular training, and mobility.
Recovery: Recovery is an often overlooked but crucial aspect of overall health and elite performance. For us to maximize our abilities and live in an optimal state, we must maintain a balance between stress and recovery. In other words, we can only grow stronger if we are able to adapt to the demands of competition and training. These adaptations do not happen while we work, but rather when we recover. A complete recovery program includes sleep, rest, breathwork, and other biohacking essentials.
FORGED IN CLUBHOUSES
We are redefining the way in which athletes train for competition. By giving athletes an extensive catalog of tools and top-tier education in all of the 7 pillars, we are building better athletes and better people. Not only do we aim to help athletes perform at their peak on the field but we are building confident, disciplined and resilient individuals ready to take on challenges beyond the sports arena.

His knowledge of and dedication to his nutrition, his outstanding character and humility, which comes from his Christian faith, and his ability to build relationships with staff and players was fully on display."

Owner of Train To Be Clutch
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mike when he was both a player and a coach. His attention to detail, passion for what he does, and depth of knowledge and experience sets him apart. As a coach, he has he uncanny ability to elevate others and help them tap into their unrealized potential. I would recommend Mike to anyone who wants to take their performance to the next level."
David Franco
Texas Rangers
Mental Performance Coordinator
"I have had the privilege to know and spend time with Nick since 2014, and he is a model of consistency. Nick is one of the most disciplined men in the game, and his ability to maintain balance in every area of his life is truly impressive. Whatever Nick sets his mind to, he will approach it with great purpose and passion. Wisdom is applied knowledge, and Nick is wise beyond his years."
Brian Hommel
Arizona Diamondbacks

"Since I began working with Mike when I was in middle school, he has helped me make drastic improvements to my swing mechanics, in-game approach and pitch selection, as well as my ability to play defense. This past season, Mike spent time with me to develop specific nutrition protocols, along with recovery methods for my body, and mental preparation skills like breathing techniques. Prior to my NCAA Division 1 conference championship, Mike met with me to formulate in-game hitting approaches for each individual pitcher that I would face. The individuality and attention to detail in Mike’s coaching is unrivaled, and I would not have had this successful D1 baseball experience without him."
John LaFleur
D1 Baseball Player
"Mike Ahmed is the rare kind of leader who not only knows the game inside and out, but also knows how to bring out the very best in every player. His unmatched baseball IQ, and years of professional experience on and off the field have made him a standout coach-but it's his mentorship that truly sets him apart. Mike builds more than just winning teams; he shapes confident, disciplined athletes and future leaders. His impact goes far beyond the field and scoreboard."
Joann Vallera
Owner, Plex Baseball
"Mike Ahmed is an outstanding coach, but more importantly, he’s an exceptional human being. He cares about his players as people first, and is highly proficient in developing them as baseball players, which we saw first-hand when he coached our two sons."
