Mission

As a mental performance coach, my mission is twofold:

• To empower athletes and performers to take control of their performances by fostering resilience, confidence, and enjoyment in their craft. Using research supported mental skills training, I help individuals develop the tools they need to thrive under pressure and reach their full potential.

• To make mental performance coaching more accessible to athletes by increasing awareness of its benefits and providing opportunities for athletes to strengthen their mental game. I am committed to breaking down barriers, educating athletes, and ensuring that mental training becomes as integral to success as physical preparation.

Experience

An undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in sport science specializing in sport psychology. My experience includes working with collegiate athletes in softball, basketball, volleyball, tennis, soccer and wrestling, as well as both amateur and professional MMA athletes.

My Message

Having been involved in wrestling for over a decade and spending most of my life around athletes, I’ve gained insight into the vital role that psychology and mental strength play in sports. I’ve witnessed athletes rise to new heights, as well as struggle under the pressures of competition. Just like they train to build strength, speed, and endurance, athletes can also cultivate mental skills to navigate the challenges that come with their sport and career.

When working with athletes, my aim is to equip them with tools and resources that enhance their performance, help them tackle any hurdles they encounter during their journey, and promote their overall mental and physical well-being.

How I work with athletes

While every session is tailored to an athlete’s specific needs, the initial session will consist of information gathering. This allows me to better understand who you are as a person, what goals you have, your strengths and weaknesses, so we can better work together. Sessions provide mental skills training for your individual skills and goals. Examples of topics that may be discussed include managing anxiety, motivation, goal setting, mental toughness, focus, managing injuries or negative self-talk. Sessions are conducted virtually and all of the information shared in a session is private and confidential.
