Developing Leaders in Sports, Business, and Life
Sports Performance Coaching
The mental game is an essential part of an athlete’s performance on the court or their respective field of play. We offer coaching to help you match your will to your skill using sports psychology principles and techniques based on our Learn-Prepare-Perform system. Our coaching impact with athletes includes:
- Discovering your unique strengths and personality through an assessment using the AthleteDISC online assessment tool
- Developing the right goals and action plan to get there
- Identifying key challenges that interfere with peak performance and developing habits and "trigger phrases" that can help provide focus in the moment
- Learning how to redirect your thoughts to be fully present mentally, physically, and emotionally in practice and competition
- Utilizing visualization and positive self-talk to establish a foundation for overcoming your fears, pressure, and doubt
- Improving your "Recovery Time" to respond to adversity and unforeseen circumstances
- Career guidance and transition services for our professional athletes
We offer an online sports performance academy and membership site that offers virtual coaching, courses, and ongoing resources in the area of sports performance. Many of our athletes love this option as it allows them to consume additional content in the form of blog posts, podcasts, and video segments at their own pace in addition to coaching. You can check out our membership options, and sign up for the one that best meets your needs. Check out the trailer for our first course - Be Present: Showing Up When It Matters Most.
Business Coaching
While there are many terms for this type of coaching – business coaching, executive coaching, etc. – I use the term Leadership Coaching with the main goal of helping people become more effective at leading themselves and leading others. In this area, I typically work with high potential and high performing leaders who want to accomplish their personal and professional goals, expand their sphere of influence, and direct, guide, and coach the people who work with them in the most effective ways.
The coaching process with entrepreneurs and business leaders follows our Assess-Align-Activate process which includes conducting a workstyle personality and leadership behavior assessment, debriefing the assessment and aligning on a 3-6 month development plan, and conducting a coaching program that helps you achieve your development goals. Coaching topics could include:
- Developing a strategy for your career
- Developing goals and a lifestyle of integrity
- Becoming more effective at managing your time, talents, and resources
- Becoming a more effective salesperson
- Communicating effectively with confidence and passion
- Developing effective leadership and management skills

Life Coaching
This type of coaching consists of helping you plan your life around the right priorities, purpose, and calling. I have worked with many people in this area to develop a personal mission statement, core values, and SMART goals. I have also coached people through career transitions in their lives using our 3-Step Career Development System. Any of these additional topic areas can be included in your coaching sessions:
- Identifying and connecting with your purpose
- Developing goals in all areas of your life
- Defining what matters most and then living for those things
- Developing Your “To-Be” and “To-Do” lists
- Identifying your gifts, talents, strengths, personality, and passions through personal assessments
- Conducting profile assessments and 360-degree reviews including the Birkman Method and StrengthsFinder Assessments
- Discovering your true identity
- Communicating more effectively with the people who matter most
- Becoming more effective at self-management
- Unleashing all of who you are in everything you do
- Becoming a better leader in your personal relationships
- Replacing a mindset of fear, uncertainty, and doubt with trust and belief
- Resolving relational conflicts
