Hello there,
I am Andy Pierce!
My Work
My name is Andy Pierce. I'm a devoted husband, father, and Master Resilience Expert. With an M.A. in Performance Psychology and over 10 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most elite groups in the world; Special Operations Soldiers, Army Rangers, and top-performing business leaders. My expertise lies in teaching individuals and teams the art of bouncing back from adversity and thriving under pressure.
Our 'WHY'
Bounce Resilience emerged from a pivotal moment in my life—a near-fatal encounter with the massive waves of Sunset Beach on January 28, 2010. That day, I paddled into an 18-foot wave, a familiar challenge, but this time, fate had other plans. As I descended, the wave hurled me over the falls; my surfboard followed, striking with such force that it snapped my femur in two. Amidst the relentless surge and searing pain, I had to summon every ounce of inner strength to remain calm and fight for survival.
This ordeal taught me the paramount importance of mental resilience in the face of extreme adversity. The journey from that harrowing experience—through recovery and back to surfing the world’s biggest waves—reinforced a profound truth: setbacks don’t define us; they refine us.
This transformation—embracing fear, enduring pain, and emerging stronger—became the foundation of Bounce Resilience. Our mission is to cultivate an unbreakable mindset: confronting fears directly, harnessing inner strength, and steadfastly pursuing what matters most.
Experience
Through my work, I have empowered organizations to build mentally tough teams, enhance decision-making under stress, and develop a culture of growth and adaptability.
