Coach’s Bio

Master Resilience Coach

It’s not uncommon to reach a mental barricade/thinking-trap that hinders your progress, performance, and overall execution of a sports related task or life event. These types of barricades/thinking-traps prevent athletes from making it to the next level and oftentimes lead to continuous failure or premature exit of their sport. As a Master Resilience Coach, I can help you remove the barricades/thinking-traps and give you the mental strength needed to ignite your physical & spiritual strength. The goal is to help you develop and improve your self-regulation, self-awareness, mental agility, character strengths, and optimism; all of which will help you build a stronger body and improve your athletic performance.
