Helping your best become better
How much is your mindset costing you? This can come in the form of time wasted due to lack of focus or poor prioritization. It comes in the cost of emotional capital spent on additional stress, anger, sadness, or anxiety. It can also come in the form of strained or broken relationships, feeling misunderstood or alone.
What if your mindset, how you see and interpret the experiences in your life lead to greater personal satisfaction, growth and attunement with those around you? What if you could gain the skills to focus on your goals with clarity and conviction and had the psychological tools to grow from challenges and setbacks? What if pressure and stress were not something to avoid, but valued and used to develop and grow stronger? What if you had a deeper sense of who you are and your actions aligned with who you want to be?
Performance psychology is designed to help you develop greater self-knowledge and improve your ability prepare for challenges, grow from setbacks, and embrace the moment. I use a variety of mental skills to train your mind to be stronger, better suited to adapt to challenges all for a purpose just as an athlete would train his or her body.
Common issues performers face:
- Getting overly anxious/overwhelmed in the moment
- Holding onto mistakes
- Lack of motivation because of: setbacks, boredom, lack of buy-in, etc.
- Focusing on unhelpful signals (fear of others’ opinions, ego, negative thinking)
- Struggles to be grow, adapt, or be “coachable”,
- Internal conflicts on teams and communication issues
- Transitions within the field (promotions, re-org’s, changing roles, retirement)
- Challenges with identity and association with performance
Working with a trained mental performance consultant can help you address these and many other struggles you may be having, whether you are relatively new to your field or a seasoned veteran. With my crossover training in counseling, I am also equipped to help performers address “off the field” issues with family, relationships, and other issues that might interfere with your ability to improve and perform.
What I offer:
- Performance analysis and mental skills assessments using tools and interviews
- Personalized lessons and courses for individuals and teams based on the specific context and needs
- Team workshops to address team culture and goals
- Psychological evidence-based Coach and Leadership support
- Workshops for those supporting performers to reinforce positive and beneficial mindsets
- Strengthfinders 2.0 team workshops
Who is this for?:
This is for athletes/players who want to perform better. This is for leaders and coaches who want to lead with greater effectiveness and enjoyment. This is for parents and mentors of performers who want to better understand and guide others through the challenges and opportunities sports and performance offer. This is for anyone who wants to build better psychological skills and tools in order to be able to do hard things, to challenges themselves to grow and be who you’ve been called to be.
