OWN YOUR GAME - WRITE YOUR FUTURE
ABOUT
RED OAKS is a sports psychology institute that incorporates the embodied wisdom from Core Energetics with real-world lived experiences of athletes from every level of the game.
Core Energetics is a body-based psychotherapy that was discovered by John Pierrakos in the 1970s, which was also heavily influenced by the work and study of Alexander Lowen, who used the term BioEnergetics.
Both modalities draw heavily from the idea that the human body is filled with energy and that most (if not all) “blocks” that we face in our lives are due to places in our body where the body’s natural movement and energy centers have been restricted. Thus, to move through these difficult seasons of our lives, we must work with the body so that our spirit and soul can begin to feel free to move, express, and create the outcomes that we most want to experience and enjoy.
Talk therapy offers invaluable insights and supports emotional understanding and personal growth. Core Energetics builds on this foundation by engaging the body directly, helping clients move and work with patterns that may remain “stuck” on a physical and energetic level. By integrating both mind and body, we aim to foster change that is not only understood cognitively, but experienced deeply and sustainably.
WHAT MAKES RED OAKS ATHLETICS UNIQUE
While the work Core Energetics has a place for helping people move past their blocks in all areas of their life, Red Oaks is specifically here to help athletes identify, shift, then transcend the places in their athletic performance where they were once blocked and unable to meet the moment.
Our sessions are often done in person, though there is also plenty of insight that can be gained and body-work that can be done over Zoom. These embodied sessions often help our clients identify trigger points and patterns in their body’s memory that they can begin seeing (and feeling) play-out in their actual games and matches.
JORDAN MYERS
Welcome to Red Oaks! My name is Jordan, and I’m the founder of this community. We exist to support the full mental and emotional well-being of our athletes — both on and off the field or court. When that inner landscape becomes more open and alive, performance often improves as a natural result. But our first commitment is to the human being, not the scoreboard.
As a former Division I soccer goalkeeper at Butler University, a tennis coach, and now an aspiring professional tennis player, I’ve spent years inside the crucible of competitive sport. If I had known back in college how much of our life-force can be blocked by inner ghosts — patterns, fears, and survival strategies living below our awareness — I would have played soccer long past graduation. I also wouldn’t have waited over a decade before rediscovering tennis and beginning this second athletic journey.
Every day I train — not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and somatically — so that my athletic capacity and inner resources continue to grow. I bring that lived commitment into our work together as we support the next chapter of your evolution.
To put it simply: when I faced pressure moments as a quick and focused goalkeeper, whether I made the play or not depended less on my physical ability, and more on whether I trusted myself enough to do what I already knew how to do. Without that deep, rooted inner core, I still accomplished a lot — but something in my athletic life remained incomplete and unfinished.
Now, as I deepen this practice and simultaneously pursue the path of professional tennis, my greatest hope is that the lessons I’ve learned (and those still unfolding) can become medicine for the athletes we serve.
I am genuinely excited to meet you, and to share the strength, freedom, and joy that Core Energetics has brought into my own life.
Yours on the path,
Jordan Myers
