Kate Ziegler

Olympian, Performance Coach, Speaker

Teaching athletes and performers tools to promote self-discovery, build self-worth beyond winning, and train their mind to thrive in all of life’s arenas.

My mission is to help every Performer live & compete fully alive and free. I believe it begins by accepting: 

You are not what you do

Fully Alive

Feel emotions - No robots allowed!
Learn from mistakes.
Move towards fear.
Honor their voice.
Explore their inner world.
Diversify their interests. 
Using their gifts to the best of their God-given ability.

"Fully ALive & Free" Performers

Free

Live with principles.
Focus on Process NOT Perfection.
Build unshakable confidence. Choose their path.
Set boundaries.
Keep promises to themself. 
Challenge limiting beliefs.
Perform under pressure.

Promote self-discovery, awareness, and acceptance by teaching tools for developing a personal philosophy and purpose, labeling emotions, and exploring their inner world.

MY APPROACH

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 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 main goal when I started coaching was to improve my confidence - something that happened nearly immediately. I thought it would take longer since I’d been struggling for years…I am more focused, confidence, my self-talk is so much better, and I am so much happier. Simply put: Kate is the best coach ever!

About

Ask a World Champion or Olympian what it felt like to win gold and you’ll likely hear “Amazing! Most incredible experience ever! So proud!” Most are lying. The truth is most felt relief - a release of all the pent up fear and self-imposed pressure of letting themselves and others down.

How do I know? Because I lived it.

I shut down emotions and turned up the grit. I lived through burnout and brokenness. I suffered from mental and emotional health issues that I felt too ashamed and afraid to share.

This is why I’m on a mission to help other athletes and performers avoid the same pitfalls and pains.
