A strong mind is the foundation for great performance.
A strong mind is the foundation for great performance.
As a mental coach, I help athletes and coaches to build a foundation of mental skills and strategies. Though I work with performers of any age, I specialize in working with youth athletes, youth sport coaches, and parents.
Credentials
Credentials
I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. This means that I have a graduate degree in Sport Psychology, over 400 hours of mentored experience in mental performance consulting, and passed a certification exam. Because I believe it's important to bridge the gap between mental performance coaching and the latest research, I actively contribute to the science of Sport Psychology by conducting and publishing research on youth sport psychology topics. Check out my Academia page for some of my publications.
