My Story
Despite having earning my place on the national team...I still felt like I didn't belong. That I didn't deserve it because I was so self-critical of every mistake I made...
❌ Performance anxiety and overthinking drained my energy and self-esteem
❌ Every setback and failure was more proof I didn't deserve to be there
❌ My performance got WORSE over time as I got less and less playing time
You know that moment when you realize that the sport you once loved...the sport that used to be fun and exciting...Now feels like the most stressful part of your life?
In fact, I almost quit a couple of times... Until literally one workshop with a sports psychologist changed everything. I immediately realized that my biggest weakness was that I was NOT training my mind. What I needed was a mental performance coach.
I soon understood how important it is to train my mind and what was holding me back. When I started using these simple, yet powerful tools, I finally focused on doing the right things and the right words to unlock my true potential. I earned a Silver Medal on the U.S. Team and scored goals in the World Cup Tournament, with over 40 international games to boot!
Since then, I've dedicated my post-athletic career reading, learning, and getting certified so that I can help athletes activate their competitive confidence, and be unstoppable. Your mental game is the X-factor if you strive to be an elite athlete!
I can guide you on your path to athletic greatness. You will learn how to block out the noise, release what's holding you back so that you can play your best consistently, thrive under pressure with greater enjoyment and stronger self-confidence.
