Meet the Coach

Do you put everything you have into your sport and see very little improvement? Do you grapple with your negative self-talk as you see the opposing athletes in your competition? Have you hit a plateau in your performance? As a Mom, Coach, and athlete I have experienced all of these situations personally and therefore, know all the feelings associated with them. These scenarios can deter us, our team , or someone we care about to lose the enjoyment of training and competing in their sport. Now as a mental coach, I can help you, your team, or someone you care about overcome these obstacles.  With the mental training toolbox,  together we can overcome these obstacles and become the person and athlete they are capable of being.

Growing up I was always taller than everyone else in my age group.  Basketball became a part of my life at a very young age. With each year, the pressure built for me to become a great player. My inability to manage the pressure and overcome my mental barriers proved to be my demise while in High School. The voice within me grew louder and my progress was halted. I became the "could have been great" player.  Mental training was an unknown for me and the tools to overcome my inner beast were not made available to me.  Fast forward 25 years and these same mental demons resurfaced but in the lives of my children playing High School sports. I had coaches frustrated by my athletes inability to be consistent, focused and resilient. Coaches, fans, other parents, and myself all could see the potential in these athletes but we had no tools to aid them in their mental training. My search for answers led me to become certified as a mental performance coach. It killed me to watch not only my children struggle but all student athletes and their coaches struggle. It is through this process I became passionate about helping coaches have the resources to help their athletes excel mentally in their game.

InnerGrit Coaching comes from my belief that through mental training every coach and athlete can take their game to new limits that they never before dreamed of.
