Gold Medal Mindset
What is a "Gold Medal Mindset"?
A Gold Medal Mindset isn’t about competition—it’s about resilience, belief in oneself, and the courage to keep showing up. It means knowing your worth even when others don't, and it's about choosing growth over staying small. It’s the inner strength to rewrite your story, the self-respect to set boundaries, and the confidence to pursue joy again. The Gold Medal Mindset honors effort, not perfection—and it reminds you that you are your greatest asset.
Life isn't all about winning and losing, but a winner's mindset is crucial to any recipe for success. This is a retreat for anyone unsure of who they are right now—including athletes, creatives, professionals, and everyday people.
We’ve been told that one of our gifts is helping people remember who they are. With deep care, empathy, and just the right blend of truth and encouragement, we create space for people to feel seen, supported, and revived once again. It’s not about us having all the answers—it’s about helping you reconnect with the truths within you. You'll learn a lot, but if you're like all who have come before you, it'll feel like a return to your former self—the version you're most proud to present to the world.

Location Information
The Adirondack Park is perhaps the most diverse destination on the East Coast, offering unparalleled outdoor recreation throughout its dazzling lakes, mountainous regions, and charming villages. Established in 1892, the Adirondack Park covers an area larger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and the Great Smokies National Parks combined, making it the largest park in the continental United States.
Encompassing millions of acres of public, constitutionally protected forest preserve, as well as privately owned land, the Adirondack Park is New York's largest playground. Striking a balance between public and private ownership makes the Adirondack Park a unique place to visit. Visitors have ample access to recreational gear through hotel amenities, rental shops, and local guide services. It is also, unequivocally, home to the most friendly and welcoming citizens of New York.
Embedded deep in the heart of the forest lies the "High Peak Wilderness," home to the most prestigious 46 mountains of New York State. Coined the "ADK 46," these mountains attract hikers from all over the country and globe, challenging all who seek to become a celebrated "46er."
It is here that we host our "Gold Medal Mindset" Optimal Retreat.
The "Loj"
The ADK Loj (pronounced "lodge") is tucked away in the High Peaks Wilderness alongside the beauty of Heart Lake. As a staple of the region, the Loj is a favorite for avid hikes -- and the surrounding area is perfect for camping. As for the Loj itself, we feel comfortable saying this: no staff is more kind and accommodating.

Truly, we thread the needle beautifully—offering a full itinerary while simultaneously allocating sufficient time for sleep, recovery, and alone time.
Our slogan is, “The Bookmark of Your Life” precisely because your life is all-but-guaranteed to change forever. This is far from a mere getaway. In the words of one of our retreat participants, “It’s the perfect blend of hard work and fun for anyone serious about improving their life.”
It’s an investment, but the value would be a steal at twice the price. You can’t put a price on mental health and gratification in life.
