It’s normal for athletes to struggle with confusion, anxiety, and doubt. But with the right knowledge and tools, athletes can gain clarity, confidence, and certainty about their path to better performance. That’s where we come in. We train and educate athletes to create the knowledge, tools, and mindset to succeed. We empower them to reach their goals.

Discover a world of possibilities

Discover what is possible when you have the knowledge and tools to make the plays of your life. Possibilities create paths to better performance and accomplished goals.

Exposing Myths

The sport coaching field is filled with myths. An athlete trying to perform with a myth-filled mind is like a mountain climber trying to summit a peak without proper lighting or navigation. Myths confuse athletes and cause anxiety and doubt.

Research-Based Knowledge

It is important to shed light on these myths and expose them. Often, this alone causes a great relief in anxiety and a surge in confidence. We replace these myths with solid, research-based knowledge and tools to create confidence, clarity, and action.

Empowerment

With the proper knowledge and tools in place, we empower athletes to make the plays of their games and their lives.

Coaching

We offer one core service: Sport psychology coaching. Because our athletes are unique individuals, this coaching is individualized to each athlete. Core components include one-on-one sessions and custom created training assignments called “Winning Time.” We educate, train, and empower through a combination of assessments, educational materials, communication through text/email, and one-on-one coaching sessions. Most session are held by phone or Zoom, so location is not an issue.

Because spots are limited and the coaching is intense and consistent, it is not for everyone. In order to assess suitability, I prefer to have a conversation before accepting an athlete into the program. Therefore, we offer no sign up on the website.
