Limitless Performance is a holistic youth sports performance and training company offering year-round services and camps. With over 400 five-star reviews collectively online, Limitless Performance is the premier sports organization in southern Wisconsin. We are currently located in Janesville, Wisconsin. Our youth client pool ranges from Kindergarten through professional athletes.
Our mission is centered around bringing out the best version of every individual involved. The more energy we focus on results, the less energy we spend on the process that brings those results in the first place.
Our blend of training and philosophy fosters greatness. Not just greatness, but an enjoyment of the process and journey toward greatness. Not just enjoyment, but a character that everyone looks up to and aspires to become. It’s about who we become through the process, not just what we accomplish.
We simplify our sports psychology framework into the following key pieces. All content on this podcast will center around your sport and how you can integrate our curriculum into your daily life to see immediate results.
Coach Jack, the author of this podcast, holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He spends much of his time developing this curriculum, as it reflects how he trains himself. This involves extensive reading and learning from experts in the field. His studies include Eastern philosophical meditations and mental training tools, paired with the wisdom of ancient philosophy. He then validates these insights through scientifically supported evidence and Western psychology practices.
Coach Jack’s mission is to synthesize this invaluable knowledge into a modern, accessible format for busy people to implement and see remarkable transformations in their lives.
“Others have certainly attempted what I am aiming for. However, this focus on youth and sports is unique. I firmly believe there is a better way to educate and provide youth and parents with a stronger foundation for finding their own answers. It’s not about projecting my beliefs onto you. I don’t claim to have all the answers; in fact, I believe I know very little. However, I have a deep understanding of various tools that have been used for thousands of years to reduce suffering, build compassion, and enhance performance across all areas of life effortlessly. My curriculum is based on a holistic approach, showing you what has worked throughout human history in training the mind. This isn’t a curriculum claiming to have all the answers; it’s about helping you find YOUR answers.”

Understanding Part X: Part 1
In this podcast episode, Coach Jack explores how our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs—especially those influenced by the inner critic called "Part X"—shape our reality and mental health. The discussion covers the pitfalls of overthinking, the impact of environmental influences, and the importance of distinguishing between subjective beliefs and objective truth. Students asks clarifying questions, helping to unpack these concepts. Listeners are encouraged to identify limiting narratives imposed by Part X and to make present-focused, creative decisions rather than being driven by fear or false self-perceptions.
