The SS&E clients are remarkable off the field as well. Their clients retrace their roots. Through actions such as setting up foundations, or creating a scholarship fund to their high school or universities, the athletes become role models in their high school, collegiate, and professional communities. For example, Patrick Mahomes has the 15 and the Mahomies Foundations which focuses on helping youth charities. You can find out more at https://www.15andthemahomies.org

Mr. Steinberg shares how the best athletes learn to adopt a quiet mind, sharing stories of Super Bowl Winning Quarterbacks. Finally he shares how he trains the next generation of sports professionals to ensure that they conduct themselves with high ethics and morals.

Cameron Crowe hired him as a technical advisor to the movie, Jerry Maguire, starred by Tom Cruise & Cuba Gooding Jr.
