Confidence after disappointment
A result, criticism, or missed opportunity makes it difficult to return to your plan. Practice reviewing the experience and choosing a useful response.

WHO THIS IS FOR
R.E.A.C.T. supports adults working through the demands of sport, creative work, education, or career development, and college or professional teams seeking shared practical tools. High school teams can participate in school- or coach-coordinated workshops.
A result, criticism, or missed opportunity makes it difficult to return to your plan. Practice reviewing the experience and choosing a useful response.
You care about the goal but struggle with the work that comes before it. Build specific preparation tasks, a repeatable routine, and a manageable fallback.
A demanding moment or change in role, season, school, or career leaves you unsure what to do next. Rehearse a reset, identify support, and map a next step.
Your priorities guide individual coaching. Team examples are adapted to the sport and setting after a planning conversation.
FIVE PARTS. ONE PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK.
R.E.A.C.T. brings together Resilience, Emotion, Activity, Connection, and Transition. Explore each part to see how it becomes a tool you can practice.
RESILIENCE
Review what happened, separate the outcome from a broad judgment about your ability, and identify a useful response.
What happened? What can I learn? What is my next useful action?
A RESET YOU CAN REHEARSE
Use an ordinary pressure moment to practice these four steps. Personalize the words so they fit the situation.
Notice the moment before choosing your response.
Take a comfortable, steady breath.
Find an action you can influence right now.
Make the next step specific and manageable.
YOUR PRACTICAL TOOLKIT
Participants practice tools that fit their goals. Individual coaching personalizes the worksheets; workshops introduce them through team scenarios and reflection.
RESILIENCE
Separate what happened from a broad judgment about your ability. Identify a lesson, what you can influence, and a next-action plan.
EMOTION
Notice a trigger, reaction, and consequence. Rehearse pausing, breathing steadily, naming what is controllable, and choosing the next useful action.
ACTIVITY
Plan what you will do before, during, and after a demanding task. Create a smaller version you can use when circumstances change.
CONNECTION
Identify trusted people, clarify the help or feedback you need, and practice the first sentence of a direct request.
TRANSITION
Explore what is changing, what matters to you, and what information or support will help you choose a next step.
PRACTICE & REVIEW
Record the action you planned, what you tried, and what you learned. Use it to review progress and adjust the next week’s plan.
Individual packages include personalized worksheets, a reset reminder, and a closing summary. Team packages include digital participant materials and a takeaway card.
THE TOOLS IN ACTION
Hypothetical learning example · not a client story or promised outcome
An athlete finishes a competition disappointed and feels tempted to skip the next preparation session. In coaching, we could use R.E.A.C.T. to explore the experience and build a response the athlete chooses.
Describe the result and preparation as facts. Identify one lesson and one action the athlete can influence, without treating the result as a judgment about personal worth.
Name the frustration and urge to withdraw. Rehearse pausing, breathing steadily, naming what is controllable, and choosing the next useful action.
Choose a specific next preparation task within the coach’s existing plan. Agree on a smaller fallback for a difficult day; training and medical restrictions remain with qualified professionals.
Plan a conversation with the coach: “What is one part of my preparation you would like me to focus on before the next event?”
Map the upcoming week’s sport, school, or work demands. Schedule the chosen action and decide what to bring back for review.
Did the athlete try the reset, complete or adapt the chosen action, and ask for feedback? What helped, and what should change? These observations guide the next plan; they do not guarantee a competition result.
A SAMPLE OF THE APPROACH
Use the five R.E.A.C.T. prompts to reflect on an ordinary setback, plan a manageable action, and identify useful support. This one-page worksheet offers a practical introduction to the tools used in coaching and team workshops.

Start with six and, by written agreement, add six for $750. Total cost after extension: $1,650. There is no automatic renewal. Travel or venue costs require advance written approval.
SCHEDULING & DELIVERY
We agree on session frequency during the initial planning conversation, based on your goals, availability, and time to practice between meetings. A six- or twelve-session package describes the number of sessions, rather than a fixed number of weeks. Suggested schedules do not create expiration dates for prepaid sessions.
Zoom is an option for individual coaching from the first session; telephone is also an option after the first two sessions. Share your location and time zone so we can confirm availability and fit. In-person locations, venue arrangements, and any approved travel costs are agreed before booking. Team workshops can be in person or live virtual, as confirmed in the proposal.
For the college or professional team pilot, follow-ups may be weekly or follow another agreed team schedule. High school services are team workshops.
WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
You help choose the goals, attend sessions, and try the agreed actions between meetings. Practice is adapted to your schedule and circumstances. Difficult weeks provide information we can use to adjust the plan.
We review completed preparation tasks, use of the reset, consistency with routines, support conversations, and your reflections. We use those observations to decide what to continue or change.
Six sessions establish your goals, introduce the tools, and build an initial preparation and continuation plan. Twelve sessions add more opportunities to use the tools in actual situations, review setbacks, adjust routines, and work through transitions. The initial conversation helps identify the option that fits your priorities and readiness.
Illustrative program imageryFOR COACHES & ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT GROUPS
Designed for college and professional teams, the pilot gives athletes a repeatable set of practical skills for pressure, consistency, connection, and career transitions. The core workshop is “Respond, Reset, and Execute: R.E.A.C.T. Under Pressure.”
For younger athletes, explore the high school team workshop, adapted to the students’ age, sport, and school setting.
Begin with a 75-minute interactive workshop, adjustable to 60–90 minutes. Extend with four follow-up sessions, typically 45–60 minutes each, delivered weekly or on the team’s schedule. Examples are tailored to the sport, season, athlete level, and group culture.
Materials can include a participant workbook, takeaway card, and voluntary program feedback. Team summaries use aggregate feedback rather than personal disclosures.

$1,125 after signing and before the workshop. The remaining $1,125 is due before the first follow-up session. This pilot is for college or professional teams.
Dates are reserved after the agreement is signed, the booking payment is received, and required approvals are in place. Booking payments are credited toward the package price and are subject to the refund terms below. Custom engagements and any alternative organization payment arrangements require written agreement.
Request workshop changes at least seven calendar days ahead and pilot follow-up changes at least 48 hours ahead. Replacement dates depend on mutual availability. Late notice does not automatically create a fee or count an undelivered session as used. Payments transfer to an agreed replacement date; a 60-day planning target does not expire prepaid services.
Either party may cancel remaining services in writing. Refunds deduct only delivered services and approved incurred expenses that cannot be recovered. A delivered workshop is allocated $750, and each delivered pilot follow-up is allocated $375. Unused future installments are canceled. Refunds return to the original payer within 14 calendar days after cancellation and reconciliation, with a written calculation.
The completed signed team agreement governs each booking. Individual coaching uses its separate payment and cancellation terms.
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
School- or coach-coordinated team workshops introduce high school athletes to R.E.A.C.T. through age-appropriate examples, guided reflection, and practical skill rehearsal.
TEAM WORKSHOP
$75060–90 minutes · up to 25 athletes
Includes a planning conversation, tailored team examples, digital participant materials, a takeaway card, and an aggregate summary of voluntary feedback.
For larger groups or multiple teams, request a tailored proposal. Printing, venue, and travel costs are agreed separately in advance.
Discuss a school workshopBefore delivery, Dr. Reese and the designated school or team contact agree on age range, learning priorities, format, scheduling, accessibility, and adult supervision. School approval and any required parent or guardian permissions are arranged before participation.
Students can practice with sport-specific scenarios and keep personal reflections private. The team contact receives aggregate feedback rather than individual disclosures. A designated school adult remains available for student support, and support or referral arrangements are clarified during planning.
High school services are team workshops. Individual coaching packages are for adults aged 18 and over.
INSIDE THE ATHLETE PILOT
Athletes practice with team-approved scenarios, individual reflection, and a manageable commitment to test between sessions.
A personalized reset, a controllable next-action plan, a before/during/after routine, a support conversation plan, and a transition map. Participants may keep their reflections private.
Purpose, educational scope, participation norms, and common pressure points.
Map a trigger, reaction, and consequence; identify controllable actions.
Introduce the five practices with athlete-centered examples.
Rehearse the four-step reset with a low-stakes sport scenario.
Draft a before/during/after routine for a demanding week.
Choose a support person and practice a respectful request.
Choose one skill to test and complete voluntary anonymous feedback.
TAILORED TO THE TEAM
For college athletes, examples can address academics, team roles, travel, exams, and post-college choices. For professional athletes, they can address role changes, roster uncertainty, career longevity, and life beyond sport.
Delivery begins with a planning conversation to agree on priorities, group size, accessibility, scheduling, and referral contacts. The pilot works alongside coaching, player development, sports medicine, clinical, and mental performance resources.
It may complement education within systems such as NFL Total Wellness, Player Engagement, or NBA/NBPA player support. This is potential alignment; no league endorsement, affiliation, or team adoption is claimed.
FEEDBACK & NEXT STEPS
The team contact receives an aggregate summary of participation, voluntary usefulness and confidence ratings, anonymous themes, and recommendations. A follow-up pilot can compare beginning and closing self-ratings.
Feedback asks whether athletes feel able to identify a controllable action, use the reset, maintain a routine, and approach a support person. These are learning and feasibility indicators, not clinical screening or evidence of better performance statistics.
If a team already uses wearables such as WHOOP, approved non-identifying examples can support reflection. No device is required. The pilot does not collect biometric data, access individual dashboards, or interpret personal device readings; authorized team professionals manage any existing device initiative.

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR
Doctor of Social Work · MA Counseling Psychology
Dr. Jonathean Reese is an IFBB Pro Men’s Physique athlete, coach, certified personal trainer, and nutrition coach whose work connects competitive sport with social work practice and workforce development. He brings firsthand experience in high-level competition together with graduate education in social work and counseling psychology.
He developed the R.E.A.C.T. framework through doctoral scholarship and professional experience, organizing practical skill development around Resilience, Emotion, Activity, Connection, and Transition. His approach helps participants identify strengths, practice responses to pressure, build manageable routines, communicate with supportive people, and prepare for change.
He is also the author of Pain Into Purpose: The Blueprint for Resilience, Discipline, and Lasting Transformation, a published reference for his perspective on adversity, purposeful action, and the R.E.A.C.T. model. Explore the book.
His 2026 Doctor of Social Work comprehensive project at California Baptist University examined a R.E.A.C.T. education seminar for foster care organizations. That work informs his attention to practical tools, staff readiness, and the setting in which a program is delivered.
In individual coaching, Dr. Reese begins with the participant’s own priorities. In team programs, he tailors scenarios and activities to the sport, season, and existing support system. His role is to provide education, guided reflection, and skill rehearsal that participants can apply to everyday preparation and demanding moments.

COMPETITION & PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Dr. Reese brings the perspective of an IFBB Pro Men’s Physique athlete to R.E.A.C.T. His competitive background gives him firsthand familiarity with the relationship between preparation and performance: the routines built before an event, the discipline to repeat them, and the need to respond constructively to feedback and outcomes.
That experience matters because an athlete’s goal requires work well before competition day. In this program, Dr. Reese helps participants connect ambition with specific preparation tasks, identify what gets in the way, and create a manageable plan they can return to after a difficult moment. Progress becomes something to practice and review.
His athletic perspective is combined with a Doctor of Social Work, an MA in Counseling Psychology, and experience in coaching, personal training, and nutrition coaching. Together, these backgrounds inform his attention to the athlete’s goals, emotions, daily demands, relationships, and life beyond sport. Participants define what matters to them; the program provides a structure for taking action.
Dr. Reese can connect the language of preparation, discipline, and competition with concrete coaching activities. An individual session might turn a missed preparation task into a revised routine and a clear commitment for the week. A team workshop might use a sport-specific pressure scenario to rehearse a reset and a support conversation.
The aim is to help athletes build confidence through actions they can review, follow through on preparation, and respond to setbacks with a deliberate next step. His professional athletic background adds a relevant perspective; the coaching remains tailored to each participant’s sport, circumstances, priorities, and existing support team.
Talk with Dr. ReesePUBLISHED WORK & PERSONAL TESTIMONY
The Blueprint for Resilience, Discipline, and Lasting Transformation

In Pain Into Purpose, Dr. Reese shares his perspective on responding to adversity through resilience, discipline, and purposeful action. The book gives readers another way to connect with the message behind his coaching and the R.E.A.C.T. model.
As a published reference and personal testimony, it connects the themes of the book with Resilience, Emotion, Activity, Connection, and Transition. Coaching and workshops turn those themes into guided reflection, preparation routines, support conversations, and concrete next steps.
The book offers an author’s perspective and practical guidance. Research findings and the scope of the athlete pilot are described below.
DOCTORAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION
Dr. Reese’s 2026 DSW comprehensive project combined a scoping review of structured physical activity and youth wellbeing, stakeholder engagement, and a continuous quality improvement evaluation of staff readiness at one Olive Crest short-term residential therapeutic program.
Innovating Through Staff Readiness: Development and Evaluation of the R.E.A.C.T. Education Seminar for Foster Care Organizations
California Baptist University · August 2026 · ProQuest Publication No. 32857244
Read the published project recordEight staff participants reported favorable post-seminar ratings for knowledge, confidence and shared language, usefulness, and organizational readiness. The evaluation used a single-site, post-seminar survey without a pretest or comparison group. These preliminary perceptions do not establish change from baseline, causal effects, or changes in youth outcomes.
The work informs the emphasis on practical skills, structured routines, connection, and implementation readiness. It did not evaluate college or professional athletes, athlete performance, or wearable technology. The athlete and individual coaching programs are context-specific applications that need evaluation with their intended participants.
Services provide education and coaching-oriented skill practice. They do not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical care, injury rehabilitation, acting instruction, representation, or casting. Specific performance or behavioral outcomes are not guaranteed.

BEFORE WE BEGIN
Start with a planning conversation about the sport, age range, group size, learning priorities, accessibility, and preferred format. In-person or live virtual delivery is confirmed in the team proposal. The school or organization provides an authorized contact and arranges the agreed venue, equipment, or virtual access.
The written proposal and team agreement confirm dates, the booking payment, remaining payment timing, rescheduling, cancellation, refunds, and any approved printing, venue, or travel expenses. Individual coaching payment and cancellation policies apply to individual packages; team bookings use their separate signed terms.
Team packages include a planning conversation, tailored examples, digital participant materials, a takeaway card, and an aggregate summary of voluntary feedback where privacy can be protected. The complete college or professional team pilot also includes four follow-up sessions, beginning and closing self-ratings, and a closing coach review. Material and summary delivery dates are confirmed in the team agreement.
For high school workshops, the designated school or team contact arranges school approval, adult supervision, student support contacts, and any required parent or guardian permissions before participation. Personal reflections may remain private, and feedback reports omit individual disclosures. Recording and publicity require separate appropriate written permissions.
Yes, through school- or coach-coordinated team workshops. Activities are adapted to the students’ age and setting, with school approval, adult supervision, and any required parent or guardian permissions arranged before delivery. Individual coaching packages are offered to adults aged 18 and over.
Begin with an inquiry so we can discuss your goals and whether the service fits. We confirm the package and complete an agreement before payment. You then receive a Stripe invoice, with the first payment due before session 1. An inquiry is not a booking or a payment commitment. Pay through the private link in your invoice email. Payment details are entered on Stripe’s hosted page, rather than collected on this website. See how invoice payments work.
Yes. An adult participant signs the coaching agreement, and a separate payer signs the payer agreement. The participant chooses their goals. A payer receives necessary administrative information such as payments and session dates. Personal session content or routine progress updates require the participant’s separate permission, which can be withdrawn for future updates.
Give at least 24 hours’ notice. Timely cancellations and the first late cancellation or missed session in a package are rescheduled without charge. Later late cancellations or missed sessions count as used if the appointment was reserved and the provider was available. Emergencies may be accommodated by written agreement. Provider cancellations and technology problems preventing meaningful coaching do not count as used. Late arrival normally does not extend the appointment.
You or the provider may end services in writing, and a separate payer may withdraw funding. Before any delivered or counted session, paid fees are refunded in full. After services begin, the refund equals payments received minus delivered or properly counted sessions and separately approved, incurred travel or venue costs. Unused future installments are canceled. No cancellation fee or higher retroactive rate applies.
Sessions are allocated at $150 for the six-session package or $137.50 for the twelve-session package. After a six-to-twelve extension, the original six remain $150 each and the added six are $125 each. Refunds go to the original payer within 14 calendar days after termination and reconciliation, with a written calculation.
Coaching records are used to provide and administer services, with reasonable access controls. Email and remote sessions have privacy limitations; clinical confidentiality or legal privilege is not promised. Information may be disclosed with written permission, as required by law, or as legally permitted for a serious safety concern.
Routine email or text is for scheduling and brief practice questions. Replies are aimed within two business days, excluding weekends and holidays. Continuous access and emergency support are not included. Recording, transcription, automated meeting assistants, and publicity require separate informed written permission.
We can review preparation routines, completed actions, reset practice, support conversations, and your reflections on progress. These are learning indicators. Specific changes in behavior, athletic results, acting opportunities, academic admission, or career outcomes are not guaranteed. Technical training, injury restrictions, and medical decisions remain with your qualified professionals.
The inquiry tool prepares an email on your device. It does not submit a form to a website database, and this page does not save your inquiry in browser storage. You decide whether to send the message in your email app. Once sent, your name, email address, and message are received by Dr. Jonathean Reese through email and used to respond and discuss services. Email providers and the hosting platform may process technical information under their own policies.
