Mental Performance Consultant & Former Division I Swimmer
Mental Performance Consultant & Former Division I Swimmer
You train your body—but are you training your mind? As a former Division I swimmer and sport psychology consultant, I know that high-level performance requires both physical and mental preparation. I bring over 16 years of competitive swimming experience, including competing in Spain and the United States. Through my athletic career, I’ve experienced firsthand the pressure, expectations, and challenges that come with training, competing, and balancing the demands of sport. With a background in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Sport Psychology, and currently working toward my CMPC certification, I combine evidence-based mental skills training with real-world athletic experience. I offer both sport psychology sessions and swim lessons, helping athletes perform with confidence and develop skills that transfer from sport to life. I have experience working with Division I athletes and youth athletes, both individually and in team settings, helping them develop the mental skills needed to succeed in their sports. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative environment where athletes feel motivated to improve. I design individualized plans tailored to each athlete’s needs, focusing on areas such as confidence, goal-setting, focus, visualization, pre-performance routines, performance anxiety, motivation, and emotional regulation. Some of my areas of interest include sports injury rehabilitation, visualization, neurofeedback, and identity changes associated with athletic retirement. I speak both English and Spanish, and sessions can be done in person or virtually, in whichever language feels best for you. I would love to work with you to help you improve your performance and achieve your goals!

Get to know Coach Andrea
About Me:
I’ve loved sport for as long as I can remember, and swimming taught me early on how much the mind affects performance. That curiosity led me to study Neuroscience and Psychology, and eventually earn a Master’s in Sport Psychology, so I could help athletes understand themselves and perform at their best.
As a mental performance coach, I work with athletes to develop the mental skills and strategies they need to perform at their best, handle pressure, and achieve their goals in both sport and life. Lately, I’ve been enjoying new challenges with triathlon, Ironman training, and HYROX, which has given me new insight into discipline, patience, and embracing the process. Outside of sport, I love photography, music, and reading—that help me unwind and stay motivated.
How I can help you improve your game:
Sport Psychology Sessions:
- Develop pre-performance routines for training and competition
- Learn how to bounce back after mistakes
- Manage pressure
- Learn how to effectively set goals
- Practice visualization and imagery techniques
- Improve confidence and self-belief

- Integrate mental strategies into swim training
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every athlete’s story, goals, and needs are unique. That’s why I design individualized sessions that focus on what matters most to you. Our time together will be a space to explore your goals, identify challenges, and create strategies tailored to your training, performance, and personal growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
