I grew up in Maryland. My journey into coaching began at the age of nine. A coach telephoned my mother and told her, "You have an excellent tennis player in your hand." She urged me to participate in competitions, and as I did, I realized that the mental game affected the outcome. I gained national rank after adopting visualization and other concentration methods (Hayes, Brendan- About Us). I was so interested in the brain, so I earned a B.A. in Psychology at Penn State University. With big dreams, I moved to NEW YORK CITY after receiving my degree. As I wanted to stay in New York, I got a job teaching tennis at the Midtown Tennis Club on Manhattan. My four 6AM group clinics per week made me offer to start a business. With my availability round the clock, I got referrals from alpha males, Israeli soldiers, and celebrities. I had given lessons to a musician, actors, and many others.
Before I knew it, my business was attracting a lot of clients. Grueling seven days a week for close to two years coupled with financial strains, I felt drained. The reality was that I was just a tennis player, and I had no future plans. I had little to show in a resume (Hayes, Brendan- About Us). Since I needed a job, I applied for a 9-to-5 job. It was my first real job at age 25, but I hated it. I knew I did not prefer to sit behind a desk and wanted to offer more to humanity. I just didn't know what.

I can't say enough great things about Brendan and his team. Working with them has been a game-changer for my Sales Coaching business. From the very first session, they were incredibly insightful, easy to work with, and always focused on helping me hit my KPIs and revenue goals. Their guidance has helped me improve my own sales strategies, streamline my lead generation process, and build more confidence as a business owner.
What I really appreciate is how they tailor their support specifically to my business, rather than giving boilerplate advice. They're also very efficient - always providing practical, actionable steps for me to take in between sessions. If you're looking for a business coach who truly cares about your success in business AND about you as a person, look no further. Highly recommend!
I hired Brendan to help with a project launch, I had no idea that I was hiring him to pass me off to another person, in a coaching position which was not at all what we spoke about. I requested my money back within the month, he stated in order to get it back , I would need to go through the entire program first and that he was still planning on helping me with the launch of my business. I was given yet another person and told by Brendan that he would step in from time to time. This never happened. He put me with a coach for 30 min a week to talk with me about launching my business lmao. What is 30 min a week going to do for anyone? Anyway, I guess I made it all the way through because they billed me again without talking to me, and then when I reached out wondering why, he said to remove myself from everything
I’ve been working with Brendan for about a year now and I can say wholeheartedly that his impact in my life has been monumental. He has helped me push past my limiting beliefs and taught me how lean into my masculine energy. I don’t only consider Brendan a mentor in my life but a person I can call a friend. Excited to see what another year brings!
Brendan Burns is an incredible human and a superb coach. I have taken just about every personal development training available (certainly every modality I know of) and I'm an Electrical Engineer with a Captain's License and an MBA. Brendan has pushed me forward in a GREAT WAY! I suppose that if you are not willing to do the work, nobody can help you, not even Brendan... but I have been working hard and LIVING THE DREAM with his support!
