Creating strong, resilient athletes and human beings through mental training and mentorship
RISE Mentoring
I spent much of my career feeling unconfident and unsure of who to talk to. I mentor because I want to be the person for a young athlete that I wish I had in my life.

Confidence
Weekly meetings provide invaluable connection and support. Athletes have a trusted friend and confidant (oh, and Olympian) helping them achieve their goals, maintain perspective, find balance, and develop the necessary skills for long-term athletic, academic, and personal success.
RISE is equal parts education and encouragement. Athletes learn invaluable skills for resilience, goal setting, mental toughness, and high performance through activities and exercises provided during sessions. Discussion and application during meetings ensure skills stick.
Athletes need confidence to perform at their best. (We all do!) However, too many try to find it through comparison and competition. Instead, RISE mentoring builds confidence in athletes through developing competencies, positive core values and beliefs, and self-compassion.
"My daughter has really enjoyed her mentoring sessions. As tough as it is under the current circumstances, I have noticed some improvement this week with her attitude while trying to do her swim practices by herself. She had been rather negative the past few weeks and wanting to quit in the middle when she was tired and sets got tough. She started to be more positive and I think she is starting to believe in herself more and get that confidence back that she use to have in abundance. Thank you!"

- Jenna
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, but Kate was incredible at being understanding but also challenging me. She helped me identify limiting beliefs and how I was sabotaging myself. I started to change my thinking and everything started to change. I am more focused, confident, my self talk is so much better, and I am so much happier!
Simply put: Kate is the best coach ever!
- Kelly
Working together has helped me so much. I am less anxious and more confident, patient, motivated to achieve my goals. Kate changed my life! I am so grateful and would highly recommend Kate’s coaching to anyone who is looking to improve themselves and their performance.
We started working together to really define what I wanted. I realized that I had more power than I gave myself credit. Rather than trying to do everything at once, which I tend to do and that makes me overwhelmed, we broke my goals down into small, achievable steps. And I actually started to achieve them, which boosted my confidence. I started enjoying what I was doing, was much less stressed, and felt happier in general.
