Athlete’s Academy provides custom mental training programs for professional athletes so they can perform their best when it matters most.

Your life isn’t ordinary. Your mental training shouldn’t be either.

You work hard, you make sacrifices, and you invest in being the best you can be.

As a professional athlete, you need customized mental training that highlights your strengths, helps you reach your goals, reduces your stress, generates specific mental strategies for your challenges, and fits your schedule.

Our custom programs are:

Get Started

As a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, I’ve worked with hundreds of athletes to develop mental skills that ensure their hard work pays off. Having two professional athletes in my family, I know all of the hard work that goes in to performing at the highest level.

Combining this behind-the-scenes experience of what life truly looks like for a professional athlete and my professional expertise, I’m able to give you the knowledge, tools, and support to perform your best when it matters most. I develop customized mental training that highlights your strengths, generates specific mental strategies for your challenges, and fits your schedule.
