Even the most talented athletes get frustrated….
We have a plan for that.
Having a stronger mindset isn't about learning to avoid feelings of frustration, disappointment or not being upset when something happens in a game.
Instead it's learning what to do to help you keep standing tall enough to perform despite having to go through those emotions.
No matter how talented an athlete is, they will most likely always experience:
A "bad call"
Less playing time than they would like
Disagreement with coach or teammate
Frustrations over a misplayed ball
Struggles to stay motivated over a long season
Disappointment in performance, even after a great game
No athlete avoids these scenarios, but they can learn what their triggers are, and how to bounce back from big feelings when they only have seconds to react during big in-game moments.

As a sports performance coach with over a decade of experience working with athletes and former athletes, I bring a unique perspective to my coaching; I never played beyond high school and it’s because I didn’t have the focus, confidence, or motivation to make it happen- even when Coaches knocked on my door.
Reflecting on my playing years, I recognize that I made mistakes and neglected simple practices that could have advanced my athletic career.
Playing through injuries, misinterpreting feedback, allowing myself to be distracted too easily—I've been there.
Now, armed with evidence-based findings, constantly educating myself in the world of mental performance and insights from working with clients, I aim to guide athletes away from these pitfalls.
My goal is to help them perform as happy, healthy, and strong athletes for as long as they choose to play.
Outside of my personal training business, I’m a Mom, bookworm, and coach for the varsity girls ice hockey team as well as the middle school girls soccer team at Oak Knoll School.
