Athletes are under more pressure than ever - and they're not just struggling with performance.

They’re struggling with self-worth, anxiety, burnout, and identity questions no one prepared them to face.

They don’t need more hype.
They need truth. Tools. And a safe, trusted voice who’s been there.

That’s what I bring.

“Bringing Kate in to lead a workshop for our swim team was one of the best decisions we’ve made all season. From the moment the session began, it was clear we were working with someone who not only deeply understands performance and mindset but also knows how to connect with athletes of all levels. Our swimmers walked away inspired, more focused, and equipped with practical tools they could apply immediately—in and out of the pool. The energy was high, the insights were meaningful, and the impact was lasting. I would absolutely recommend this workshop to any team looking to elevate their mental game.”

“I have interviewed hundreds of professional athletes and Olympians, but I have never come across a better story to share than Kate Ziegler’s journey. That is because Kate’s story is as salable with the podium winner as it is with the person who did their best and did not get a medal or trophy. Better yet, Kate’s story is something that can be carried with people in their day-to-day lives, because it gives them hope, which is the oxygen of all dreams. Articulate and stunning, Kate Ziegler is a real model and a role model, and I can never imagine a better speaker to inspire, motivate and unite a group than this two-time Olympian and multiple time World Champion and National Gold Medalist.”
