Do you struggle with pressure, emotions, confidence, or anxiety? Are you stressed or overwhelmed trying to manage your time or responsibilities? Is defining yourself as a person without the title "athlete" involved in the description impossible for you? Are the nerves before a game beating you? When you make a mistake, do you find it hard to bounce back? Are you a leader having a hard time finding followers? Do you want to become more resilient and consistent with your thoughts and overall game play? Do you just want to take your game to the next level? Does your team have issues with chemistry, maintaining focus, or setting goals?
Together, we can enhance your understanding of the role of the mental game within your sport. We can enhance your mental performance connected to your unique issues, needs, and wants. We can develop practical strategies to implement into your daily life to assist in your self-exploration journey and make progress towards your personal and team goals.
As a former collegiate athlete, a current teacher and coach, and a current recruiting coordinator, I want to help all athletes improve their overall wellness. Through sport, we can become more resilient, competent, and self-aware in order to grow and develop into the most authentic version of ourselves. Through sport, we can become who we want to be in life.
