The Reality
Mental performance coaches are asked to make dozens of decisions every week:
-
What to focus on.
-
What to ignore.
-
What skill fits.
-
When to adjust.
-
How to explain their work to athletes, coaches, or administrators.
​
But most coaches were never given a clear process for making those decisions.
​
So decisions get made on the fly. Based on habit, comfort, or whatever feels most defensible in the moment. Over time, that creates extra mental load. The work starts to feel scattered, even when it’s effective. This is why consulting can feel heavy.
​
It’s not a lack of knowledge.
It’s the absence of a clear decision structure that simplifies what matters and what doesn’t.
How I Help
I help mental performance coaches move away from generic approaches and group think of the field toward a consulting practice that actually means something to them and to their clients.
​
The work always centers on:
​
Clarifying what guides your decisions
Simplifying and aligning how you assess and intervene
Shaping shared professional knowledge into something personally meaningful
​
​
How we do that depends on where you are right now.
Ways to Work Together
During our consultation call, we can decide which path to start makes most sense for where you are at in your consulting work
