Franklin, Tennessee  ·  Coaching for mind, life & faith

Train the mind.
Order the life.
Root it in Christ.

I coach athletes, competitors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who are ready to close the gap between who they are and who they know they're called to be. I'm Braxton Bonds — and I learned every bit of this the hard way first.

Mind

Performing free under pressure, with confidence that holds when the moment gets loud.

Life

Vision, values, and routines that turn what you intend to do into what you actually do.

Spirit

Learning to know Jesus, hear Him, and abide — with someone walking it out beside you.

Mental performance coaching

Bulletproof Mind

For athletes, competitors, entrepreneurs, coaches, and high performers — and for anyone who is tired of watching their own mind decide how the day is going to go.

Why I coach this

In college, my mind was the toughest opponent I ever faced. Performance anxiety was paralyzing. I could do it in practice all week and then feel it drain out of me the moment it counted. I tried everything anybody handed me, and none of it touched the real problem.

So I went looking for what actually works — and I built it, piece by piece, on myself. Today I toe the line at marathons, ultramarathons, and HYROX events and compete at a high level, and the difference is not my legs. My mind went from being my biggest liability to being my greatest asset. That's the work I want to do with you.

What we work on
  • A pre-performance routine that settles you the same way every time
  • Confidence built on evidence you can point to, not on how you feel that morning
  • Self-talk you'd let a teammate hear
  • Resetting fast after a mistake instead of carrying it the rest of the way
  • Handling nerves, expectation, and pressure as information rather than a verdict
  • Competing free — loose, present, and fully yourself when it counts

My promise: your mind becomes the most dependable thing you bring into the moment — the start line, the sales call, the fourth quarter — so that what you've trained is what actually shows up.

Discipline, accountability & follow-through

The Ordered Life

For the person who already knows what they should be doing — and just can't seem to do it consistently.

Why I coach this

I used to be a deeply undisciplined man. I could never seem to make time for the things that mattered most to me, and I'd get to the end of a day, a week, a year, and feel like I had been running in circles at full speed.

In 2022 I completed 75 Hard, and it changed my life. Not because of the rules — because of what keeping my word to myself for 75 straight days did to me. Discipline stopped being something I admired in other people and started being something I am. I've never gone back, and there is nothing I love more than watching somebody else cross over that same line.

What we build together
  • A vision worth the discipline it's going to ask of you
  • Mission and values written down, in your words, so decisions get simpler
  • Goals that are specific enough to actually chase
  • Daily and weekly routines designed around your real life
  • A calendar that reflects what you say matters
  • Weekly accountability — a standing conversation where you report, honestly

My promise: in ninety days you'll be a person who does what they said they'd do — and you'll have the systems, and the proof, to keep being that person.

Christian spiritual coaching

Rooted

For Christians who want to learn to walk with Jesus daily — to know Him, hear Him, abide in Him, and be changed by Him.

Why I coach this

When I became a follower of Jesus, nobody showed me how. I wanted it badly. I just didn't have anyone guiding me or mentoring me, so I figured most of it out on my own — slowly, and with a lot of wandering I didn't need to do.

God was faithful through every bit of it. But I've never been able to shake the thought of how much sooner I could have been walking closely with Him if one person had sat down with me and said, here's how you start. That's the person I get to be now, and I don't want you to have to figure it out alone.

What we walk through
  • Knowing Jesus Himself — not just knowing about Him
  • Learning to recognize His voice and grow confident in it
  • Abiding: what it means to stay with Him through an ordinary week
  • The practices — Scripture, prayer, silence, confession, generosity, rest
  • Transformation that reaches your marriage, your work, and your habits
  • An honest place to bring the questions you've been carrying alone

My promise: you'll finish with a real, daily walk with Jesus that is yours — one you know how to keep going long after our time together ends.

12-week personal coaching intensive

The Forge

Mind, life, and spirit — all three, at the same time, for twelve weeks. This is the deep end, and it's where the change goes all the way down.

Who it's for

The Forge is for the person who doesn't want to fix one thing. You've done the reading, you've had the good intentions, and you're ready to be forged rather than tuned up.

Twelve weeks of personal coaching with me — weekly one-on-one sessions, assignments between them, and access to me in between when you need it. We work the mind, the life, and the walk with Jesus together, because that's how you're actually put together.

What's included
  • Twelve weekly one-on-one coaching sessions
  • A personal assessment across mind, life, and spirit in week one
  • Your written vision, mission, and values
  • A mental performance plan built for your arena
  • A daily rhythm with Jesus you can sustain
  • Between-session access for the moments that don't wait for Tuesday
  • Bulletproof Mind Membership included for the twelve weeks

Weeks 1–4 · Mind

Find what your mind does under pressure, then build the routines and self-talk that hold when it matters.

Weeks 5–8 · Life

Vision, values, goals, and the daily systems that make follow-through ordinary instead of heroic.

Weeks 9–12 · Spirit

A real walk with Jesus at the center of all of it, so the discipline has something worthy to serve.

$1,497 for the full twelve weeks

Mentorship for 5th–8th grade boys

Iron Sharpens Iron

Sunday afternoons. One hour of hard physical work, one hour of mentorship. Every boy needs a godly man in his corner.

How it works

We meet once a week for two hours. The first hour is physical — running, workouts, sports, team challenges — because boys learn things about themselves under a little bit of load that they'll never learn sitting down.

The second hour is the reason we're there: mentorship, accountability, teaching, and discipleship. Honest, guided conversation about the things they're already facing — friend groups, phones, girls, pornography, drugs and alcohol — and what it looks like to honor God in each of them. Families commit for the full year, because real growth in a boy's body and character happens over months, not weeks.

What your son gains
  • A clear picture of what godly manhood actually looks like
  • Discipline in how he treats his body and his walk with God
  • The conviction that following Jesus is the best life available to him
  • An understanding of the purpose God gave him
  • A heart trained to serve, and a mouth trained toward gentleness and kindness
  • Discernment about the friends he lets shape him

We start Sunday, September 27, 2026, at my house — and a boy can join us any Sunday after that. Spots are limited, because this only works small.

Bulletproof Mind Membership

Coaching in your week, without the one-on-one

Every week I send you one video breaking down a single mental performance concept — what it is, why it works, and how to use it — along with a challenge or a thought to carry with you for the week. Short enough to watch before you train. Practical enough to use that same day.

$39 / month

About

Braxton Bonds

I'm a follower of Jesus first. Everything else on this page grows out of that.

I'm a husband and a dad to three kids, a certified life coach, and an ordained pastor. I own The Disciple Project, a nonprofit built around a simple conviction: people become who they're meant to be when somebody who's a little further down the road is willing to walk with them. That conviction is the whole reason this coaching practice exists.

I played Division I college basketball, which is where I first learned what a mind can do to a body — and where I spent years fighting performance anxiety that no amount of talent could out-run. Working my way out of that gave me most of what I now teach. These days I'm a marathon, ultramarathon, and HYROX athlete, and I compete with a mind that finally works for me instead of against me.

I was undisciplined for a long time, too. 75 Hard in 2022 rearranged that, and discipline has been part of who I am ever since. And when I came to faith, no one was there to show me how to walk with Jesus, so I figured out a great deal of it alone.

Every one of those is a place I got stuck. Every one of them is a place I can now stand beside you. That's the job, and I love it.
