Former college linebacker and coach.  Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) 

I've spent 15+ years supporting military and sport populations.  My philosophy was inspired by one simple observation: 

 

The performance dictates what skills are required.  We can use psychology to help align those skills and training practices to more intentionally meet the demands of competition.

​

That idea of anchoring around performance is a philosophy I take into my consulting and my mentoring with future consultants.
