The best way to help student-athletes level up their performance and continue to find the joy in their sport is by taking an athlete-centered approach to teaching and coaching them mental performance skills. In fact, it's the #1 missing ingredient for athletes at ALL levels. Add this to your coaching in less than 15 minutes a day.
In the past, this skill set has been available only to elite level athletes who have gone on to higher levels of play including college and professional. The truth is, ALL athletes need these skills, but generally don't have access to them.Â
As a coach of student-athletes through a school or club, you can bring this skill set to your team. But, you first need to develop your mental performance acumen. Then, meet your student-athletes where they are. And you CAN do it.
If any of this sounds too good to be true, I want you to know that it’s 100% possible for you. And I know that, because I’ve been exactly where you are now and have created a system to help you achieve the same thing with your team.
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
If you've read this far, you aren't most coaches.
You know you're called to a higher level of coaching, and this is your opportunity to take action to get there! You understand that we never stop growing and learning, evolving into the best version of ourselves we can be.
You've undoubtedly heard about the mental game on TV, with some athletes even referring to their "mental" as an element of themselves that needs to be developed.
Learning these skills AND how to coach them has changed my life and coaching. It'll be a game changer for you and for your student-athletes. You can all work hard to be your best while experiencing the joy of sports.
I'm not saying it's easy. Just like technical skills, mental game skills require reps, reps, reps to get to mastery. But, you have to start somewhere. Which is why you're here.
'How to Coach the Mental Game During Practices'Â is a 6-module program that teaches you foundational mental performance skills, key concepts, and tactical strategies. The program is built by a former CIA operative - who knows performance under pressure - and fellow high school coach FOR high school and club coaches of student-athletes who want to take their coaching and programs to the next level.
The program incorporates decades of experience in maximizing performance under pressure while understanding human behavior and connection to help you develop a solid, mental performance acumen foundation and tool set to continue to build your expertise.
By the end of the program, you’ll…
No more struggling. No more worrying. No more wasting time.
We'll level set what you're here to learn and prep your mindset. We'll lay out the "3T FRAMEWORK" of the course, expectations, and start building your mental performance coaching skill set.Â
In MODULE 1, you’re going to learn:
In order to learn mental performance skills, we have to get inside our own heads without overthinking. We need to be present and observe what's going on with our mindset so we can see what needs work to move us toward where we want to be.
In MODULE 2, you’re going to learn:
Elite teams are often very good at slowing down the game. Patience is key. In order to do that, you have to be able to slow things down for yourself, in your mind, whether you're competing on a team or as an individual competitor.
In MODULE 3, you’re going to learn:
Keeping our cool can be a challenge for all of us at any age, especially teen student-athletes. You'll complete this module with a new tool and strategy for holding it together and confident you can coach your players to do the same.
In MODULE 4, you’re going to learn:
Our minds are incredibly powerful, which is why you're here! We'll work on seeing ourselves succeeding, adapting, overcoming adversity, and learn how to build it into what we do and who we are.Â
In MODULE 5, you’re going to learn:
One thing every student-athlete, coach, and person can be the best at is being ourselves. When you're good with you, your mind is free to focus on competition and not afraid to fail. Basically, do you to be your best.
In MODULE 6, you’re going to learn:
Each week, a new module will be rolled out, including video lessons where I discuss the content and provide you work to be done at your own pace.Â
You'll gain firsthand practice in the fundamental mental performance skills to master them yourself and empower you to CONFIDENTLY teach and coach them to your student-athletes.
You'll have access to me and to other coaches doing this transformative work through an online community to support each other and grow together.
You'll gain access to exercises for use with your team that you can either print and implement or tailor to meet your specific needs using on the skills you've learned.
There's a lot of frustration around coaching Gen Z and the idea that they aren't as tough as "we used to be" or they need to be in order to cope with life. Explore how to train and develop the critical qualities of grit & resilience and develop a leadership culture that begins with self for each student-athlete.
This program will introduce and take a deeper dive into several key concepts within the mental game. This e-book will provide additional key concepts to explore in your coaching, depending upon your team's needs at a given time. And you'll now have the skills to introduce and coach them to your student-athletes.
This is the first workbook I created for student-athletes as we all navigated the pandemic. It has 10 pre-made lessons you can use with your student-athletes as they are or tailor to meet your team's needs at a given time.
It is important to remember that, like any new skill, it will take time to develop your mental performance acumen. It's worth it to stick it out through the entire program and beyond!

Because of the nature of this content, and the time, years, and study it includes baked into the program, you will receive a significant amount of intellectual property and practical exercises within the first 21 days. The amount retained would be to partially cover that transfer of knowledge.

I'm a former senior CIA operative and leadership coach. I'm also long-time high school coach myself and a mindset and mental performance coach. I developed this program to help other coaches learn and coach mental performance skills to their teen student-athletes.
I've been a high school coach for 19 seasons. I'm also a mom of three teen athletes including two collegiate athletes and one still in middle school. I'm a former collegiate athlete myself as is my husband. Athletics and a growth mindset are the lifeblood of our family.
There is no greater teacher of life and leadership lessons than athletics. As a fellow coach, you know that.
Over the past several years, it's become clear that simply developing a student-athlete's technical skill set and even team concepts aren't enough. Without developing the mental game, too many athletes struggle.
As a career CIA operator, I had to perform under pressure, and lead and mentor others to do the same. Finding parallels between my two careers in athletics and intelligence has enabled me to combine knowledge and experience to develop a program to get these skills into the hearts and minds of as many other coaches and student-athletes as possible.
I can't wait to share this skill set with you, Coach!
I've spent over 20 years in two parallel careers developing this skill set, constantly learning and adapting my methods. These are just some of the additional training, certifications, and experience I've gained.
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED!
I'll be with you every step of the way! I believe so strongly in this content and its impact on YOU as a coach, and the student-athletes you coach, that it is my mission to get as many coaches as possible trained up in this transformational skill set.
You'll gain exposure and access to everything you need to become a next level coach. In addition to extensive resources and guidance, you'll also have access to me as you work through the material.
Before you know it, you'll notice yourself using these skills in your own daily life. Practicing them yourself is part of how you'll master them and it will become second nature to incorporate them into your coaching for years to come.
