FAQ’s
-
We have different skills and we work in different contexts. Please see The Dr. Tucker Difference for more information.
Also, we will enter into a paid contract for the services. You will receive a copy of the contract policies to review as part of the process, before you commit to paying for any services.
-
I can help individuals and teams. I can liaise with team personnel to help athletes meet team-specific learning goals (e.g., mental training, tactics, leadership), provide multi-athlete learning support plans and sessions where appropriate, and more. Does your staff need to learn about teaching / helping others learn? I can help there, too.
If you’re an interested sports organization, please contact me directly with your inquiry.
-
I am happy to work with athletes currently playing collegiate sports (e.g., NCAA), but please understand that neither I nor my bespoke methods have earned any specific NCAA accreditation. I know the differences among helping vs. “doing it for you” and so on, and I am learning NCAA regulations, but I am not an expert in the intricacies at this time.

You can sign up for your free Strategy Session here. Limit one free session per person.
Once you are a paying client, you will receive direct links to sign up for your appointments.
-
Learning plan costs vary depending on the services you need, the time it takes to prepare and deliver them, how long and how often we work together, and more factors. Each plan is unique to the athlete.
-
You will receive an invoice, payable via credit card, bank transfer, and other options. Pay-over-time options may also be available.
All applicable fees and taxes will be detailed on your invoice. You will be responsible for all applicable fees, including Stripe processing costs. I do not keep any of the money from fees or taxes; they are exactly what I am charged by Stripe and what I am required to charge in tax, respectively.
-
I don’t know everything, but I do know how to learn things and how to help people learn things.
There are some areas in which I can serve as a subject matter expert. There are far more areas in which I know how to be engaged enough in the material and discussions that I can be a significant help. Of course, I also know my limitations, as there are many situations where I know it is best to refer you to a vetted subject matter expert (e.g., you want help understanding string theory).
In fact, I am not afraid of declining to provide a level of support I cannot effectively promise. For example, if you’re working on a PhD in statistics, I can support your planning, organizing, conceptualization, and writing / communication, but I can’t help much, if at all, with the subject matter. I have contacts I can reach out to for that.
-
No matter the plan you choose, it will not include:
Doing academic work for you. I know the lines between “helping”, “co-authorship”, and “ghost-writing.”
The cost of any external experts or resources (e.g., a statistics expert I refer you to)
Guaranteed outcomes. We will do our best, but fans don’t get a refund just because their team doesn’t win.
-
We will not share your personally identifying information (e.g., email, phone number) unless required by law.
We will not publicly use your name, image, or likeness without your permission or public acknowledgement (e.g., you publicly state that you are working with me). Where required, will use your name and relevant information when representing you in discussions with partners (e.g., your assigned university advisor).
We will not divulge personal information about your learning plan to anyone outside Tucker Learning other than you, except where required (e.g., by law, by university policy), or where you have provided permission to do so.
