About Us
Clutch Consultations was founded by Sharif Butler, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and former Division 1 athlete at Texas Christian University.
Sharif leverages his personal experiences, from enduring setbacks at TCU to witnessing Kobe Bryant’s meteoric rise, to help athletes capitalize on opportunities and navigate adversity. His family's rich athletic legacy, which includes NBA players, Olympians, and professional athletes, serves as a cornerstone for Clutch Consultations' focus on mental toughness and cognitive excellence.
Built from Pressure. Made for Greatness.
Where adversity becomes your mental edge.
Clutch Consultations was born from lived experience at the highest levels of sport — and the mental battles that come with it. Founded by Sharif Butler, a Licensed Professional Counselor and former Division 1 athlete, Clutch helps athletes master pressure, sharpen focus, and bounce back stronger. Drawing from a deep athletic legacy, proven mental systems, and a mission rooted in transformation, we bridge the gap between talent and true mental dominance.
Philosophy & Approach – Clutch Consultations
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that adversity is a powerful teacher. We train athletes to redefine pressure as a proving ground, embrace setbacks as learning tools, and execute under intense scrutiny.
Our approach integrates mental conditioning, resilience training, and cognitive exercises to foster clarity, focus, and mental dominance in sports.
