Grown-Ups.
Thank you for checking out Clutch Academy. My name is Brandon Horsley, but most kids know me as Mr. H. I have spent years working with young people as a teacher, coach, mentor, and creative leader. Through those experiences, kids have taught me just as much as I have taught them. I have learned that confidence, leadership, communication, and decision making are not skills kids magically grow into. They have to be practiced, encouraged, and built through real moments. That belief is what led me to create Clutch Academy. Around ages 8 to 10, I was that kid who struggled with confidence, especially in big moments. I would clam up when a teacher called on me, strike out in games I should have dominated, and sit in front of tests I studied for, already convinced I was going to fail before I even put my name on it. I even quit playing the drums after making a minor mistake during a spring concert when I was 9. Not because I couldn’t play, but because I was more afraid of being embarrassed than I was willing to keep trying. Learning how to handle those tough moments changed everything for me, and now I help kids do the same. Through my Controllable Confidence Framework, I designed this program to help kids use their past experiences as proof that they can do hard things, especially in moments that feel uncertain, uncomfortable, or scary. This academy is built to teach kids how to believe in themselves, even when it’s hard. The ideas behind Clutch Academy were developed through years of working with kids in classrooms, gyms, film sets, mentorship programs, and real moments where confidence was tested. This isn’t just theory. It’s a step-by-step process designed to help kids understand fear, face challenges, and build confidence they can actually use. My hope is that Clutch Academy helps your child feel more prepared, more confident, and more willing to try when the moment feels big. Brandon Horsley Founder
Kids!!!!
Hi, I’m Mr. H, and I’m a 4th grade teacher, coach, and filmmaker. I even created my own cartoon! I need you to listen closely… a little closer. NOT THAT CLOSE! Sheesh. Take two steps back. (facepalm) You and I may have never met, but I can proudly say that I believe in you, and I know you’re going to do incredible things in this world. My job is to help make life a little easier by teaching you a few steps for facing scary moments with confidence. Whether it’s an important test, a playoff game, a concert, or a moment when all eyes are on you, I’m here to help you succeed. I can teach you skills that will still be helpful when you’re in your 30s. A long, long… LONG time from now. I’ll help you build that LeBron James type of confidence inside yourself. Believe it or not, I was once your age. I know it can be scary when the teacher calls on you, even though you’re not raising your hand. Frustrating, I know. I told you I was once your age. I’m here to help you feel more confident whether your hand is up or you’re trying to hide so the teacher won’t call on you. Side note: the teacher always sees you hiding. It just makes them want to call on you more. Instead of shrugging your shoulders or saying, “I don’t know,” I’m here to teach you a secret formula that can help you answer with confidence. And in the very rare case that you get the answer wrong, I can teach you the steps to bounce back quickly and feel even more confident than before. I also know how terrifying it can be to audition for a big play and forget your lines. I know what it’s like to have the basketball in your hands with the game on the line. Between you and me, I also know what it’s like to drop my drumstick in the middle of the spring concert when it felt like the whole world was watching. Embarrassing. Ugh. If you’re still reading this, just know I’ve been in your shoes before. Through all of my mistakes, I learned a few tricks that have been battle-tested and are ready for you to use. In just 2 hours a week for 4 weeks, I can teach you the tricks to be CLUTCH in big moments. That’s it. Plus, you get a free T-shirt. And it’s virtual! You can join right from your couch. Hope to see you in the lab! Mr. H Professor
