Learn the tools Olympic athletes use to manage stress and overcome anxiety to help unleash your athlete's best performances when it matters most.
Lack of training, talent, skill, motivation, or commitment? No, the most significant barrier is often a lack of mental skills to conquer fears, doubts, and the limitations of their comfort zones. While athletes rigorously train their bodies, many neglect their minds. They face competition anxiety, setbacks, and injuries without the mental tools needed to navigate these challenges - to no fault of their own (no one is teaching them!).
To unlock their best in and out of sport, athletes need to train their mind like they train their body. I’ve guided hundreds of athletes in developing unshakable confidence and overcoming their anxieties and doubts. I can help your athlete do the same.
Research shows that athletes who prioritize mental training not only perform better, but also experience lower stress and anxiety levels and reduced likelihood of injuries. Unlock your full potential — let’s start this journey together.

"Kate's coaching and the tools she has equipped me with have created long-lasting changes in my mindset. I’m more confident, resilient, and she’s helped me achieve and grow so much. We started the coaching based on my desire to improve mentally for sport, but my improved mindset has helped improve all aspects of my life. I can’t recommend working with Kate enough."

My mission is to equip student-athletes with the inner resources they need to meet life's external demands so that they can live and play with less stress and anxiety and more confidence and joy.
Navigating the pressures and demands of sport, school, and life is challenging for student-athletes. I know. I lived it.

When I started with Kate, I wasn't confident. I was intimidated to set big goals and race the top girls. By working with Kate, I learned how to create a plan for achieving big goals rather than just lowering my standards. I changed my self-talk and am much more confident. As a result, I ran my fastest time ever this season. Kate has helped me so much!
Looking for tools that can lead to dramatic improvement in confidence on and off the field for your athlete?
Or, maybe you want a few tips on how to best support them through the ups and downs of sport?
Your athlete can feel confident and in-control before competitions; learn and rebound from mistakes; find joy, self-worth, and meaning in and out of sport. And you can stop fearing the car rides home, confidently support them through the ups and downs, and create a shared language to connect about sport and life.
You've reminded them to "be positive". You've told them not to compare themselves to others. You've encouraged them to "Just do your best!" and that "It's just a game." It started as fun, but now you're wondering, does sport have to be so stressful? Do there have to be so many tears and worries?
The answer is no.
They just need the tools to help them navigate the overwhelming emotions and feelings that are holding them back.
