Helping athletes optimize performance through mental skill training
Hi! I’m Diana, a mental performance coach with a master’s degree in sport psychology. I am passionate about helping athletes perform at their best while enhancing overall enjoyment of their sport. I’ve worked with athletes across a variety of sports, ages, and levels from women’s basketball teams to individual figure skaters, helping them build the mental tools needed to perform with confidence and consistency. Together, we’ll create a personalized mental training plan aligned with your goals, values, and strengths. This includes developing skills such as imagery training, managing self-talk, building effective routines, practicing mindfulness, and navigating performance anxiety. If you're looking to gain a competitive edge and unlock your full potential, message me to book a session!
How I can help you improve
Together, we’ll design a personalized mental training plan to strengthen skills like focus, confidence, and consistency under pressure. I help athletes feel more in control and provide tools that help athletes perform at their best whether in practice, competition, or games.
A typical training session
Sessions are a collaborative and safe space where we tackle challenges and work toward your goals. My approach combines evidence-based cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and a strengths-based framework to support meaningful, lasting growth.
Each session lasts 45–60 minutes and takes place on Zoom, where we’ll learn and practice mental skills designed to equip you with a mental toolkit for reaching your full potential.

- Professional figure skater for over 15 years
- Worked as a mental performance coach for a variety of sports including pole vaulting, rowing, basketball, and figure skating.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my last figure skating coach. He taught me to find joy in my sport while pushing me to reach my full potential. He helped me build confidence in my abilities and a sense of calm under pressure.
What athletes & parents should know
I’m passionate about helping athletes unlock their full potential and build the skills they need to thrive. My approach is grounded in meeting each athlete where they are and supporting them in becoming their best self. Every individual brings unique strengths, challenges, and goals, so I tailor my guidance to fit their needs. I bring an open mind, positivity, and a commitment to meaningful growth to every session.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
