Highly recommend for athletes and non-athletes! Great platform to take your mental edge to the next level! Cristina DyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Ashley is amazing! She helped my teenage daughter improve so much with gee mindset while playing volleyball. She used to get in her head so much when she made a mistake that she would cry during games… coach Ash helped her with coping skills that she currently uses while playing and she no longer gets in her head and moves on from making a mistake so easily now. I highly recommend working with coach Ash! She is amazing and so sweet! We love her! Genevieve MarcelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We can’t thank Ashley enough for the difference she’s made for our son. She helped him rebuild his confidence and provided him with practical tools to manage his nerves during games. One of the most impactful strategies she introduced was establishing a daily routine of gratitude and goal-setting, which has improved not only his performance but also his overall mindset. Thanks to her guidance, he’s back to playing the sport he loves with renewed passion and giving his highest effort every time he steps onto the field. We highly recommend Ashley to any athlete struggling with confidence or mental blocks—her expertise and approach truly work! Sally AndersenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been struggling with confidence and identity after switching from powerlifting to CrossFit, and it was tough mentally to make the transition. After 8 years as a powerlifter, I didn’t know how to redefine myself as an athlete in this new space. Ashley was a game-changer! She helped me rebuild my confidence and guided me through the mindset shift I needed to thrive as a CrossFitter. Now, I feel stronger mentally and more secure in my athletic identity than ever before. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a mindset reset or performance boost!
Sports mindset coaching is for competitive athletes who want to gain a mental edge in their sport. Whether you’re struggling with confidence, focus, pressure, fear of failure, or bouncing back from mistakes, a mental coach helps you build the skills to overcome these challenges. My programs are designed to meet athletes where they are—whether you’re just starting out or already performing at a high level.
Athletes who consistently commit to sports mindset coaching often experience:
Greater self-confidence during competition
Improved focus and the ability to block out distractions
Better emotional control and faster recovery from mistakes
Reduced stress and anxiety
Stronger performance consistency
A more resilient, growth-oriented mindset
Better leadership and communication on and off the field
These changes don’t just impact your sport—they also carry over into your academics, relationships, and life after athletics.
Many athletes begin noticing mindset shifts within the first few sessions, especially when they’re consistent and apply the tools given. Confidence, focus, and resilience grow with repetition and reflection. Most athletes experience measurable improvements in 3–4 weeks, and deeper transformation builds over time.
Not at all! While sports mindset coaching is a great solution for overcoming challenges like performance anxiety or fear of failure, it’s also incredibly effective for athletes who are already performing well but want to take their mental game to the next level. Many athletes work with a mental coach to sustain their edge, build leadership skills, and develop a long-term performance mindset.
Yes—if the athlete is open to it, I can collaborate with parents or coaches to help reinforce mental training at home or during team practice. This can be especially helpful for younger athletes or those who want a more integrated support system. The goal is always to empower the athlete first while aligning the support around them.
What sets my coaching apart is the balance of structure and personalization. Every athlete receives a clear, proven system that’s adapted to their unique goals, sport, and mindset challenges. I bring a background in sports psychology, high-level coaching, and school counseling, which allows me to deliver strategic yet supportive coaching that creates real, lasting change.
Absolutely. Investing in sports mindset coaching is like adding a performance multiplier—it amplifies the work athletes are already doing physically. Without a strong mental game, talent alone isn’t enough. Athletes who train their minds gain the clarity, consistency, and resilience needed to rise above the competition and perform at their best when it counts.
Each session is personalized, but typically includes:
A performance check-in
Review of goals and progress
Mental skill instruction or strategy session
Guided exercises or reflection
Clear takeaways and next steps
You’ll also receive a personalized training document to track your growth, exercises to implement between sessions, and access to your mental coach for continued support.
I work with athletes across all sports. No matter your sport, mental coaching helps you compete with focus, confidence, and resilience.
es. If an athlete fully participates and applies the strategies consistently but doesn’t see progress within the first 4 weeks, we will adjust the plan or offer a flexible exit option with a prorated refund. The goal is to make sure every athlete feels supported and successful in their mental training.
You can get started by booking a free discovery call or choosing the program that best fits your goals. If you’re unsure where to begin, I’ll help guide you to the right fit. All services are designed to help you build an elite mentality and compete with confidence.
