What People Are Saying About TAC
“I met Coach D when I was just 16 years old, an uncertain
teenager trying to make sense of life and my place in it. Now,
at 31, I can honestly say that his guidance has played a
defining role in the man I’ve become. What started as
mentorship evolved into a lifelong coaching relationship that
has helped me navigate every major transition-graduating
school, relationships, fatherhood, and the constant process
of becoming more authentic, confident, and fulfilled. Coach
D has a rare ability to challenge you without judgment and
support you without enabling you.”
Craig Sword/ Mississippi State University/ Washington Wizards
“I’ve known Coach Delmont since we were just kids battling it
out on the court in middle school. Even back then there was
something different about him. Through high school and
college we went our separate ways but never lost that mutual
respect. Now years later, I’ve watched Coach D evolve that
same focus and passion into his life coaching practice. With
no hesitation, I can say this man was born to guide others.”
Jason Caffey/ University of Alabama/ Chicago Bulls
“As a young athlete you often times are simply trying to
navigate life’s many landmines that seem to be constantly
coming your way. I experienced more than my share of
difficulties at a young age and beyond, but if I had a life coach
like Delmont to help guide & counsel me, I truly believe the
ride would have been much smoother. I know that many will
benefit from the work of The Athlete’s Compass.”
Jimmy Moore/ National Champion/ Denmark (Europe)
“I’ve known Delmont for 35 years, and in that time, he has
consistently shown what it means to lead with integrity,
heart, and purpose. He’s the best basketball player I’ve ever
played with- and one of the most impactful leaders I’ve ever
known. As a life coach, I am confident that Delmont will bring
the same passion and strength that made him an exceptional
teammate, and I’m excited that he will now be able to inspire
and empower the next generation of athletes.”
Mike Yarbrough/ Mathematics Professor/ Consumnes River College
“Having a Life Coach is one of the best things an athlete can do to navigate life and their athletics goals. The journey can be tough dealing with family, school, friends, and a coach’s expectations. This is why I recommend any high school or college athlete to participate in The Athlete’s Compass. Having someone such as Delmont as your coach, who has experienced these situations and emotions is priceless!”
Clayton Johnson/ University of Nevada Las Vegas/ Spain
“If I knew then what I know now, I would have aggressively pursued life coaching. Coach D is the perfect fit. He lived the life I want to live. I’ve walked in gyms in Hungary, Europe with his pictures and was like “hold up, I know this guy, that’s my coach”. He’s known as a great person athlete beyond borders. I’m 1000% sure that being under his tutelage earlier, success would’ve come sooner and more abundant. I’m very optimistic about the future. Thanks Coach D!”
Jimmie Taylor/ University of Alabama/ Cyprus (Middle East)
“I wish I had developed a lifelong love for life coaching when I was younger- especially with someone like Delmont. What makes him so affective as a life coach is the depth of his own lived experience. I was successful because I figured things out the hard way, but with a coach like Delmont, I truly believe my success would have come sooner and resonated more deeply.”
Derell Lacero Washington/ University of South Alabama/ Spain
Where Technology accelerates growth
Athletes Learn How To…
- Stay composed under pressure (and reset fast after mistakes)
- Build confidence that doesn’t crash after one bad performance
- Improve focus, discipline, and consistency in training and competition
- Strengthen leadership, communication, and coachability
- Manage stress, emotions, and identity tied to performance
- Prepare for what’s next: recruiting, setbacks, injuries, transitions, and life beyond sports instead of after sports.
What Makes TAC Different
Most athletes train the body. TAC trains the whole-athlete: the mindset, identity, habits, leadership, and emotional control that determines whether talent shows up consistently.
This is not motivational fluff. This is a repeatable system athletes can use in practices, games, the classroom, and life.
The E.G.O. Framework
E.G.O. isn’t arrogance, it’s evolution. It’s the internal compass that helps athletes rise above fear, grow through challenges, and overcome the pressures of expectation.
Athletes move through four phases and learn how to master each one:
- Ego Emerging: Awareness of identity, triggers, and patterns
- Ego Driving: Understanding pressure, ambition, and performance behaviors
- Ego Managing: Building regulation, routines, and resilience
- Ego Transcending: Leading with purpose, values, and long-term vision
Each state represents a deeper level of maturity, purpose, alignment, and personal leadership.
