One on One Sessions: Cultivating Mental Strength for Peak Performance & Purpose

 

Executive Coaching (CEOs, Executives, Professionals):
I'm not your normal executive coach. I understand that navigating the complexities of leadership demands more than just strategic vision; it requires mental fortitude. I partner with leaders to cultivate the mental clarity, resilience, and focus needed to thrive in high-pressure environments. Through evidence-based performance psychology techniques, we'll work together to identify and dismantle mental roadblocks, allowing you to lead with confidence, authenticity, and sustained excellence. Leaders who are or were former athletes tend to respond well to systematic, development coaching that centers around getting results that matter. Let's explore how to elevate your leadership impact, not just your performance.

​

Sport Psychology for Athletes: The high-stakes athlete
"I’ve done this a thousand times in practice. Why can't I do it now?"

You are frustrated because you’re making mistakes you "know" better than to make. When a skill you’ve mastered suddenly disappears under pressure, it feels like a glitch in the system. You start overthinking the mechanics, trying to force the result, and before you know it, the game isn't fun anymore—it’s a chore.

I'll guide you from over-trying to effortless execution.
My goal is for you to reach that post-session moment where you can finally say: "I’m actually enjoying my sport again—and the results are finally showing it."
 

Sport Psychology for Parents: The committed sport parents

I often here this from parents: "I see how much they want this, and it hurts to watch them struggle. I want to help, but it feels like everything I say makes it worse. I’m stuck between wanting to push them to their potential and wanting to protect our relationship."
Being a sport parent is an emotional tightrope. You are invested—financially, emotionally, and through countless hours at the venue—and you’re likely experiencing:

• Sideline Anxiety: Feeling the pressure just as much as (or more than) your athlete.

• The "Car Ride Home" Dread: That awkward silence or mounting tension after a tough loss or a bad performance.

• The Projection Trap: Worrying that their performance is a reflection of your parenting or their future success.

How We Work Together: I help parents become the mental anchor their athlete needs. We focus on:

• Communication Mastery: Learning exactly when to push, when to listen, and how to keep the car ride home a safe zone.

• Separating Parent from Coach: Clarifying your role so your athlete feels supported, not managed.

• Managing Your Own Emotions/Energy: Tools to help you stay calm on the sidelines so your athlete can stay calm on the field.

The Goal: To shift the focus from the scoreboard back to the relationship. The biggest win is seeing your child take ownership of their journey while you enjoy the ride alongside them.

Sport Psychology for Sport Coaches, Club Directors, High school/Collegiate Athletic Directors: 

When I work with coaches and those in sport leadership positions, I frequently here comments similar to:
"I have a talented team, but I’m spending more time dealing with drama and keeping parents happy than actually coaching the game. I can get my athletes to comply with the rules, but I’m struggling to get them to truly commit to the culture when things get tough."

The Reality 
As a leader in today’s sports landscape, the X’s and O’s are only half the battle. You are likely navigating:

• The Fragility Gap: Feeling like you have to walk on eggshells with athletes who struggle to handle direct feedback.

• Culture Erosion: Seeing a talented team underperform because of cliques, lack of leadership, or a selfish mentality.

• The Mental Health Burden: Feeling responsible for the psychological well-being of 20+ athletes without the specialized training or time to manage it effectively.

How I can support you:
I help you move your program from Compliance to Commitment. I don't just work with your athletes; I work with you to build a system that sustains high performance.

Our Partnership Includes:

• The Feedback Funnel for Teams: I teach your athletes how to filter your coaching so they hear the instruction, not the volume.

• Psychological Safety Runways: Building a team culture where athletes feel safe taking risks and owning their mistakes, leading to faster growth.

• Coach-Consultant Collaboration: Acting as your advisor providing you with the tools to lead more effectively while I handle the high-level psychological development of your players.

The goal is to help you have a program where the culture drives the results, not the other way around.

I reduce the noise so you can get back to what you love: Coaching.
