“Focus!” “Calm down!” “Just have fun!”
How many times have you heard these commands as an athlete?
While these might be helpful actions to take, when have athletes learned the skills to focus, calm down, and have fun in difficult, high-pressure situations?
Athletes dedicate countless hours towards technical and physical training - tirelessly finetuning their bodies ability to perform. Yet the ability to utilize physical talent in competition settings is entirely reliant on one thing - the mind.
I have worked with athletes as a collegiate tennis coach and a strength and conditioning coach, training strategic, technical, and physical capabilities. As I worked in these roles, I always felt there was more - something was missing. I had a burning desire to help athletes step into competition with confidence to perform under pressure and compete at their highest potential (and enjoy it, too). That’s what led me to mental performance.
It’s no secret that sport demands physical struggle, discomfort, and even pain. This is also true for emotional and mental states. Sport has the ability to provide athletes with some of their highest highs and lowest lows.
While it is standard for a team of strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, and doctors to enhance and protect an athlete’s physical well-being, emotional and mental well-being is often left to be navigated alone.
It is my passion to help athletes enhance their mental and emotional health to help them thrive both in performance and as a human beyond the confines of their sport.
