For as long as I can remember, I have always been competitive. Growing up with an older brother, we bonded over the way we played together. Everything was a game or a competition. To this day, we still compete for everything - including an annual Easter Egg Hunt, where one is awarded a trophy and prizes. Yes, we are 30+ years old.

 

As a former collegiate athlete and a current ballroom dancer and pool player, I add to my sports psychology and (mental health) counseling background with first hand experience. I understand the frustrations, struggles, and hardships athletes and performers face. Preparing physically of course has its benefits, such as building confidence, practicing new skills, and reinforcing muscle memory, however, preparing physically cannot help you cope with the thoughts and emotions you may face in competition.

I watched my college softball team fight so hard in the World Series to come up short in the National Championship game. I know the heart break of being .10 seconds away from making the finals in the 55m dash. I know the agony of being up 6-1 in a game of 9 ball and losing 7-6.

I created Insight Performance Coaching with the vision of addressing the mental barriers that limit those from achieving their goals. With the same tenacity athletes put into their training, that is the same level of focus and determination I put into helping with the mental game. I am all in.
