It's well-documented that today's student-athletes are experiencing some of the highest levels of stress, pressure, and anxiety in the history of sport. While on-the-field coaching is part of the success equation, equally as important is off-the-field coaching: mental coaching tailored to the student-athlete. This scientifically-proven Mindset Training approach gives athletes strategic tools to achieve their goals, manage anxiety, and define success for themselves - both short-term and long-term.
For as long as I can remember, I've identified as an athlete who loved to compete. I had the opportunity to play field hockey, swim, and run track at the Division 1 collegiate level. I played field hockey at Duke University as a three-year starting forward on a Top-20 Nationally Ranked Team, and I achieved ACC Honor Roll for two years. After college, I competed as an elite amateur triathlete and, more recently, in sprint triathlons and road races.
Today, I observe youth athletics through the lens of a parent and a volunteer coach's wife. I have two student-athletes competing in multiple sports who dream of playing at the collegiate level. I have seen them, and countless other youth athletes, perform in practice and lessons only to defeat themselves in games. When I witness this inconsistency, I know that their mindset is THE critical component to determining their success. I know this truth because I lived it for over 20 years as an athlete myself; I've felt the same pressure to "be the best" and constantly compared my performance to others', experienced the same cycle of holding onto mistakes and hindering my ability to make the next play, and faced the same mental and physical fatigue that is part of life as a student-athlete. Through my experience and training I will help your athlete develop and maintain an elite mindset as they define and navigate their own path to success.
