Jason Holzer

Growing up in Taos, Missouri, Jason was raised in a small town with a loving family that gave him every chance to succeed. His parents were supportive and provided everything this 17-year-old could ever want. That is until his life changed forever on May 8, 2003, when his dad unexpectedly passed away by suicide leaving him, his mother and two younger sisters behind.  

Through hard work, dedication, and a strong faith in God, He is now a certified teacher and thought coach, accomplished basketball coach and Elite Skills trainer, Amazon Best Selling author, Post-Traumatic growth  storyteller and the Co-Founder of 4D Athletes.

    • It’s not your experience.
    • You’ll push them away from their passions if you try to live through them.
  • The majority of scholarships are academic, not sports.

  • Success is the progression of a worthy ideal.
  • Journey is where the joy is.
  • What’s great about being present today?
  • Jason thinks gratitude is very important.
    • Be thankful.
  • Where you’re at is where you’re supposed to be.
  • Jason’s three suggestions for parents as their child goes into sports:
    • Ask them why they want to play.
    • Ask yourself why you want your kid to play.
    • Find commonalities between the two so you can see where your expectations are when they go into sports.
  • Life is about giving your best effort every day.
    • Be 1% better every day.
