A Feel-Good Reality Series About Resilience, Mindset, and a Whole Lot of Heart
From Couch to Cornhole is a grassroots reality series filmed in Northern California, hosted by mindset coach and cornhole commentator Michelle Thompson (@cornholemeesh).
We take one real person who is stuck in life — someone who's lost their spark, their confidence, or their path — and guide them through a transformation journey. Using mindset coaching, community support, and the sport of competitive cornhole, we help them rediscover purpose, resilience, and the competitor within.
This is a show about comebacks. About second chances. About finding strength in unexpected places.
The project has already begun drawing national attention—NFL player Alexander Mattison has officially joined in support through his I AM GIFTED Foundation, aligning with the show’s powerful focus on mental health and personal growth.
How it Works
-
Casting: The community will help nominate and select the lead participant — a non-cornhole player ready to take on a transformational challenge.
-
Coaching: Michelle Thompson provides mindset training, life coaching, and community support.
-
Training: ACL Pro Corey Gilbert trains the participant in the fundamentals of competitive cornhole.
-
Filming: The entire journey is captured on film, from the first nervous throws to the first tournament wins.
-
Community Engagement: Fans vote on challenges, offer encouragement, and follow the progress every step of the way.
Why Cornhole?
"It’s not just a backyard game. It’s about focus, resilience, and mental toughness."
Cornhole isn't just a backyard game. It requires focus, resilience, and mental toughness — the same qualities needed to overcome life's toughest seasons. It's accessible, competitive, and the perfect vehicle for a comeback story.
