ELITE Performance Sports Psychology

ELITE Performance Sports Psychology Welcome to your journey to greatness~

I help people overcome Anxiety & Build Confidence so they can reach their full potential.

I am a competitive runner (anything between 1 mile to an Ultra Marathon). I absolutely love coaching and watching athletes grow and strive to their very best. I am a wife and a mom of 3 kids. They have participated in softball, baseball, soccer, dance, swim, football, track and cross country, and water polo. We are a very athletic family so I have a ton of experience observing every kind of athlete on the playing field. I serve athletes from all over the United States. My passion is to work with you on your goals, creating plans to meet your needs, and developing strategies to build self confidence.

3 Ways to Improve Competition Right Now

Plateauing?
Feeling Stuck?
Feeling that you are ready but the results aren’t happening?

There are many reasons why many athletes are not seeing the results they are working for.

The pattern I’m noticing over & over again is

OVERTHINKING!!!!!

So TRY THIS:
1. Thinking
Before competition (day before, when you wake up, right before you compete), practice being distracted.

There’s nothing more an athlete can think about that is going to change the outcome. There’s possibilities that the athlete could begin making themselves over nervous, think about worst case scenario, and begin to doubt their ability.

Practice distraction.

2. Feeling
How do you want to feel?

Confident, prepared, calm, relaxed, etc? Decide how you want to feel before competition and then commit to this feeling.

If you notice your emotions are going negative, remember your commitment on how YOU WANT TO FEEL.

3. Doing
What are you going to do to make sure you are distracted? Music, draw, read, talk with friends…there are many things you can do when you find your mind is going into overwhelm.
What are you going to DO to commit to the feeling?

~Take deep breaths
~listen to calming music
~do something that makes you feel calm
~get your athletic bag pack early so you feel ready
~TAKE ACTION to help you feel prepared

Follow these 3 things to begin the process of improvement. Try it in your next competition. Then notice why you improve? Reflect on your thinking, feeling, doing plan.

Sport Psychology is a game changer in athletics!

Many athletes don't understand why our times feel stuck, we don't see improvements, we feel bad our competing........

Truth is, we're looking in the wrong direction--

I teach athletes how to gain the athletic advantage by focusing on the little things.

It's the little things that make a big difference.

🏆 OK GREEN JAMBOREE #1 — JENISON WINS! 🐾💚

A little late posting these because the results came in last week, but they’re definitely worth celebrating!

The Wildcats came away with the win, and along the way, our athletes put up both Season PRs and Lifetime PRs. 🏃‍♂️🔥

As a coach, I couldn’t be more proud. Seeing the hard work, consistency, teamwork, and belief these athletes have put in finally show up on race day is incredibly rewarding.

A team victory. New PRs. And so much to be proud of.

Congratulations, Wildcats! Keep working, keep believing, and keep pushing each other. 💚🐾

JENISON WINS!

🧠🏆 **WHY IS MENTAL PERFORMANCE COACHING SO IMPORTANT?**

My degree is in **Sport Psychology**, but what I’ve learned through years of working with athletes is this:

**We aren’t just developing athletes. We’re developing PEOPLE.** ❤️

Mental Performance Coaching is about helping athletes become stronger, more confident, and more resilient—not only in their sport, but in LIFE.

Here are just a few reasons why mindset matters:

💪 **CONFIDENCE**

So many athletes are losing confidence in themselves—and that can cost them opportunities.

When an athlete stops believing in themselves, it doesn’t just affect their performance.

It can impact their:
📚 Classroom performance
🎓 College opportunities
💼 Future careers
❤️ Relationships with themselves

**Confidence is believing in yourself enough to pursue the BIG things in life.**

🔥 **EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT**

Have you ever been so nervous, worried, doubtful, or fearful that you wanted to avoid something you REALLY wanted?

Athletes experience this too.

When we feel negative emotions, our natural response can be to avoid, shut down, or pull back.

But here’s the good news:

**We can learn how to manage our emotions instead of allowing our emotions to manage us.**

Athletes learn to recognize what they’re feeling, shift their thinking, and respond with purpose.

Because when we feel better, we often **perform better.**

🧘‍♀️ **RELAXATION**

When we overthink, become overwhelmed, or get nervous, our bodies can become incredibly tight.

And a tight body can limit movement, reaction time, and performance.

Learning how to stay calm and relaxed under pressure allows athletes to:

➡️ Perform more freely
➡️ Overcome challenges
➡️ Stay present
➡️ Enjoy their sport

🎯 **STRATEGIES & TECHNIQUES**

Mental skills are **skills you can learn and practice.**

Athletes can learn how to use:

✨ Effective goal setting
✨ Visualization — **See it to be it!**
✨ Positive self-talk
✨ Focus & concentration
✨ Confidence-building strategies
✨ Emotional regulation
✨ And SO much more!

And the beautiful thing?

**These skills don’t disappear when the season ends.**

They become LIFE skills.

That’s why I do what I do.

I teach athletes how to develop the mental skills necessary to be successful in their sport **AND** become successful, confident people beyond their sport.

Because the ultimate goal isn't just a better athlete.

**It’s a stronger human being.** ❤️

If you’re ready to help your athlete develop the mental skills that can change their performance—and their life—**I’d love to help.**

Your athlete works hard on their body.

**Let’s teach them how to train their mind, too.** 🧠💪🏆

Here’s another set of testimonials from some incredible athletes I’ve had the opportunity to work with. 🧠💪

Progress looks different for every athlete—but one thing remains the same: when athletes learn to trust themselves, stay focused, and strengthen their mindset, powerful things can happen.

From overcoming fear after an injury to hitting personal bests, qualifying for State, scoring goals, and performing with more confidence—these athletes are proof that mental performance matters. 🔥

I’m incredibly proud of every athlete featured here and the work they continue to put in. The results are exciting, but the confidence they are building along the way is even more powerful.

I love working with these athletes. Now, I want to work with you.
