My Comprehensive Mental Performance Services


My approach centers on five key elements of performance that research consistently links to success:

 

  1. Mindfulness (Strategic Awareness): thorough preparation of how to focus on what matters most in any given moment

  2. Integrated Identity: clarify your identity in and out of sport and befriend your self talk 

  3. Values: Maintain clear and coherent values that guide your goals & actions

  4. Breath: effective energy management through breathing practices designed to create your optimal state for performance and focus. Control your breath, control your life

  5. Resilience: Bouncing back from challenges by seeing your body as conduit of your intuition.
