"The glare of the NFL spotlight is about as bright as it gets in terms of sport in our country. We’re in an extremely pressurized, results-driven business that requires players and staff to sustain performance at the highest level or face the scrutiny that comes with our platform. Dr. Martin has been a significant resource in helping us deal with the numerous stressors we encounter day-to-day on the job. He provides a welcoming ear, an open voice for dialogue and sage advice cultivated from decades of experience. We know the healthier the mind, the healthier the person – both on and off the field. And with Dr. Martin in our building – with his tremendous expertise and counsel – we also know that type of balance is not merely aspirational, it’s achievable."

Dr. Martin has been a long standing and reliable resource to the league, and it's players. Herb creates an environment of confidence, success and commitment to team, players, coaches and executives by blending his clinical skills, cultural competency and organizational awareness.
Arthur Mcaffe - Vice President of NFL Operations
"Dr. Herb Martin has worked for the last decade with our rookies entering the NFL. In addition to preparing them for important aspects of the pre-draft process, he has helped to lay a foundation for them to handle the mental and emotional aspects of life as an NFL player. As a result, our players are more coachable and teachable. They are also better equipped to handle any off-the-field distractions they may face." Eugene Parker, NFL
Dr. Martin has the touch, acumen, and cultural competence to change lives and organizations. In my opinion, Herb’s greatest gift revolves around his ability to understand generational differences.
