As a young athlete, I worked through mental blocks in my tumbling on more than 1 occasion. The worst part was that I felt like no one understood what I was going through. I still remember the feeling I got everytime my teammates or coach would tell me to “just throw it” or I felt pressure from people thinking I was just being lazy or trying to get attention. Trust me when I tell you that if you have ever experienced a mental block, I completely know how you feel.
Through my own experience as an athlete and as a cheerleading, gymnastics, and tumbling coach for over a decade who has helped countless athletes overcome setbacks and fears, I know with absolute certainty that the mental game is crucial to success.
All of the physical training athletes spend so much time developing, and the extra coaching parents invest in is only as good as the strength of the athletes mindset.
With my certification through the Mental Game Coaching Professional Program, I now dedicate my life to teaching mental game skills to athletes so they can reach their full potential. My clients would say that I help them build confidence, maximize performance, and help them regain their passion and joy.
I love hearing stories that not only did they see progress in their sport but they noticed a positive change in other areas of their lives as well.
