"I wholeheartedly endorse Kenna James for poker and life coaching.

Kenna possesses an extraordinary ability to diagnose issues swiftly and provide effective solutions. His keen insight into the intricacies of the game and life itself has been invaluable to my personal and professional development.

What sets Kenna apart is his unique approach that goes beyond traditional coaching. He seamlessly integrates life lessons, mental game strategies, and a profound philosophical understanding of human nature into his coaching sessions. This holistic approach not only enhances your poker skills but also cultivates a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

I cannot emphasize enough how instrumental Kenna James has been in my poker journey. In a remarkably short time, he identified and addressed significant leaks in my gameplay. Our collaboration not only resulted in overcoming challenges in poker but also in achieving various personal and professional goals.

I am sincerely grateful for Kenna's mentorship over the past few years, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and insightful coach."

"Kenna has completely transformed my poker game. I was a break-even low-stakes player when we started coaching in summer 2021, and I'm now a winning player at medium and high-stakes No Limit Hold 'em games here in Texas. Aside from helping with fundamentals, Kenna has given meaning and structure to components of my game I had previously given little thought to: how to choose which game I join, where to sit at the table, and how and where to stack my chips being just a few examples. I would recommend Kenna to anyone ready to take their poker game to the next level."

"When I asked Kenna to coach me in Poker, I had no idea that he was also a Life Coach!
Applying his specialized coaching techniques, I’ve become a more confident and profitable poker player, consistently final tabling and finishing in the top 3 of my club tournaments. Now that my eyes have been opened, I’m accomplishing things I never realized were possible! "

I have known Kenna for a number of years, having played with him in both tournaments and cash games. When it was time to step up my game, he was the natural choice. His remarkable knowledge of the game, both in tournament and cash play, has not only improved my performance on the felt but also his insights into the psychology of the game and navigating the poker lifestyle have been very influential and helpful in enhancing my results. I highly recommend Kenna and his personalized, one-on-one approach if you have any leaks in your game or feel a "tune-up" is in order.

"I highly recommend Kenna and his personal, one on one approach"

Thanks to Kenna, I've been able to expand my playing style and witnessed rapid improvements. In fact, just 20 minutes after a live lesson, I won a $700 pot playing $1-2 at a local casino. I anticipate uncovering more insider strategies, not only in poker but also in life.
