Fostering Confidence in Female Athletes in Sports and Life One Step at a Time!

Excited to Share My Passion + Knowledge
I am a sports performance mindset coach specializing in guiding female athletes to harness confidence in their sport and, ultimately, life. I encourage athletes to face their fears and create a powerful mindset to overcome their limitations. In addition to my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame, I also utilize core energy certification from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and certification in visualization from Positive Performance Training as cornerstones to connecting and implementing confidence in athletes.
I currently reside in Irvine, California, with my husband and four children. As a wife, mom, athlete, coach, and now mindset trainer, I have played and experienced all the roles an athlete encounters and understand the perspective and delicateness of each role. My athletic journey started at a young age growing up in a family of six kids in Southern California. After playing many different sports growing up, I found my love of soccer. This love carried me to the game-winning goal for a national championship at the University of Notre Dame and then to limited but valuable experiences playing professionally in Japan and on the US National team. I struggled with confidence despite being named two-time captain, Freshman Player of the Year, three-time All American, National Champion, National Player of the Year, and National Honda Broderick Female Athlete Award throughout my four years at Notre Dame. With all the accolades, one might be surprised about my lack of confidence. It takes a lot of hard work, focus, sacrifice, commitment, and determination to play through adversity, no matter how big or small. I understand and have experienced MANY of the same challenges girls face today; pressure, injury, fear of failure, lack of motivation, taking things personally, performance anxiety, balancing school, soccer, social life, and so much more.
Empowering female athletes to implement mindset strategies to
harness confidence and maximize their full potential.
Everything I shared is my why and the passion that encourages and motivates me on this journey. I am committed to developing the mindset of female athletes to implement strategies now in their sport, which ultimately transfer to life skills in their future and are utilized for success in school, relationships, life, and career.
Suppose you (or your athlete) are in the midst of a mindset challenge or looking to get to the next level in her sport, together we will build on current strengths and engage new areas of development. I would be honored to be part of her journey in cultivating a powerful and confident growth mindset. I am excited to hear from you and look forward to co-creating a path toward success in sports and life.

My mission is to work side by side with athletes to educate them on the power of their mental game. Unlike physical sports development, the mental and emotional areas often go untouched; however, they are the foundation to ultimate success and enjoyment for athletes in their sport. Once we identify their strengths and growth areas, I introduce new mindset strategies and empower athletes to implement mental skills at practice and competitions. We will work together to break down areas of their performance where mental training can help them reach their potential.

I can’t help but think if only I knew…
If only I knew how to receive feedback when a coach called me out instead of taking it personally
If only I knew how to manage my emotions when things got challenging
If only I knew how practice makes progress, and no better time than now to try new skills
If only I knew running towards fear and letting go of mistakes is how I develop
If only I knew effort and attitude are 100% my choice
If only I knew techniques to reset my motivation after an injury
If only I knew how to push myself harder and embrace the challenge
If only I knew how to set mini-goals that built up to my main goal
If only I knew what exactly my love of the game was so I could rely on it when I felt like giving up
If only I knew how to process nervousness and use it to my advantage
If only I knew how failure was my chance to learn
If only I knew how being uncomfortable was when I grew
If only I knew how to focus on what I can control
If only I knew how to think, feel, and act more confident
If only I knew how much more could I have accomplished?
