COACHING for Young men

I want to thank you for the vastly important role you played in helping to coach my son through the aftermath of his difficult breakup.  We were desperate to try to get through to him and when he really hit rock bottom (a full two month period), we were simply out of options.  I was shocked at how quickly he trusted you, opened up and began the work.  I really do feel like you were the ‘uncle’ he needed to help him climb out of victimhood.  And then beyond that during the two month program, you injected into him ideas about the mature masculine and becoming a real man with real self-reliance and responsibility in life.  These are things that he would roll his eyes at coming from me or mom.  But you got through to him! Your work is immediately impactful and it’s making such a difference out there – giving teenagers that helpline to navigate out of the dark times that come with the teenage years – especially in this day and age.  Without hesitation I recommend your coaching to anyone in the long journey to real/mature manhood and a thriving life.

Working with Dennis Morolda has been one of the most impactful experiences in my son’s life. Before we found the Building Men program, my son was struggling—not just academically, but emotionally and socially. He lacked confidence, had difficulty managing his emotions, and was unsure of who he was or where he was going. Dennis stepped in as more than just a coach—he became a mentor, a role model, and a steady presence in my son’s life.

From the very first session, Dennis made my son feel seen, heard, and valued. Through powerful conversations, structured mentoring sessions, and real-world challenges, Dennis helped my son develop accountability, resilience, and a deep sense of self-worth. He learned how to set goals, overcome self-doubt, build healthy habits, and communicate with purpose. I’ve watched my son transform from a boy full of uncertainty to a young man who carries himself with strength, humility, and confidence.

Dennis truly understands the unique challenges young men face today and provides them with the tools, language, and mindset they need to thrive—not just in school, but in life. As a parent, I can’t put into words how grateful I am. Dennis is changing lives—one young man at a time.

As the parent of a high school senior, I cannot say enough about the impact Dennis Morolda has had on my son. For years, we watched him struggle with confidence, motivation, and a mindset that kept him stuck. Since working with Dennis, we’ve seen a transformation—not just in his attitude, but in the way he carries himself, sets goals, and takes ownership of his future.

Dennis took the time to truly get to know our son—his strengths, his challenges, and what was holding him back. He built a connection based on trust, and through that connection, created a personalized plan to help our son move forward with purpose and direction. For the first time, our son sees himself not as a victim of circumstances, but as the hero of his own story.

Dennis’s approach is powerful—he is supportive, insightful, and holds young men accountable in a way that inspires growth, not resistance. The changes we’ve seen in our son have been remarkable. He’s more confident, more focused, and ready to take on the next chapter of his life with resilience and belief in himself.

I was really struggling as a parent connecting with my son.  He is a freshman in high school and our relationship has been strained since my divorce.  When we are together, he would rather be on his phone or playing video games than speak to me.

Knowing Dennis' background in education and coaching, I reached out to him for advice.  This decision changed the trajectory of my relationship with my son forever.  Dennis listened to me, shared his knowledge and expertise, helped me understand my son's mindset and helped me realize that I had the power to create a strong connection with my son.  Our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds the past few months, and the added benefit was that the strategies that I learned helped me in every relationship in my life.  I would recommend Dennis as a coach with out any reservation or qualification.  This investment in myself and my son was invaluable.
