Book Private Mental-performance Lessons with Coach Nassim

Sports have always been a core part of my life. I grew up playing club soccer through high school, where I developed a deep appreciation for teamwork, discipline, and competition. In addition to soccer, I trained in martial arts, ran cross-country and track, and played volleyball, all throughout high school. While I didn’t pursue athletics at the collegiate level, my love for sports and competition never faded.

Throughout college and adulthood, I continued to play recreational and competitive soccer leagues, keeping my connection to the game alive. My passion for fitness and training led me to become a certified indoor rowing coach, where I now focus on helping athletes build both physical endurance and mental resilience. My diverse athletic background allows me to understand the mental and physical demands of different sports, which I now use to help athletes unlock their full potential.

Success in sports isn’t just about physical ability—it’s about mental toughness, emotional resilience, and strategic thinking. I help athletes:

Develop focus and confidence under pressure

Manage game-day nerves and performance anxiety

Strengthen goal-setting and motivation strategies

Improve communication and team cohesion

Build mental resilience to overcome setbacks

By integrating mental skills training into their routines, athletes can elevate their game, handle adversity, and consistently perform at their peak—both in competition and in life.

Each session is tailored to the athlete’s needs, but a typical structure includes:

Check-in & Goal Setting – Assessing mindset, recent performances, and mental challenges.

Skill Development – Focusing on specific mental strategies like visualization, self-talk, or emotional regulation.

Application & Simulation – Applying techniques to real-game scenarios through guided exercises.

Reflection & Action Plan – Reviewing progress and setting action steps for continued growth.

Sessions can be one-on-one or team-based, in-person or virtual, ensuring accessibility and effectiveness. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or parent, mental performance coaching can be the game-changer you’ve been looking for!

The best coach I ever had was my high school cross-country coach who saw beyond just the sport—who recognized that success wasn’t just about talent or physical ability, but about mindset, discipline, and mental strength. He challenged me, took the time to get to know me as a person, asked the right questions, and provided the tools to help me overcome doubts, push past limitations, and perform with confidence. His belief in me shaped my coaching philosophy: to help athletes unlock their own potential by strengthening their mindset and self-belief.

I believe that mental strength is the difference-maker in sports. Developing confidence, focus, and resilience can take an athlete from good to great.

My coaching goes beyond the game—helping athletes build skills that translate to life, leadership, and personal growth.

I understand the pressures of competition—not just for athletes, but for parents supporting their child’s journey, as I am a parent of 2 elite athletes with varying goals for their futures in the sport. I provide guidance on how to navigate the ups and downs of sports with a healthy, growth-focused mindset.

I am passionate about helping athletes become their strongest selves—on and off the field, court, or water.

If you're looking for a coach who challenges, supports, and empowers athletes to thrive, I’d love to be part of your journey!
