With my consulting practice, I want you to reach the summit of your Everest-like dreams and the peak of your performance. I believe this process should be rooted in a firm "why." Without a why, there is no path to follow and no destination to reach. When all else fails, knowing “why” creates a way through the darkness and a road out of nothing. It is the soil for motivation and grit to take root and grow into resilience.

Emilyrose Sheffield earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Appalachian State University before diving into her Master of Kinesiology in Sport Psychology and Motor Behavior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Passionate about helping others unlock their full potential, she is currently working towards obtaining her CMPC (Certified Mental Performance Consultant) certification through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. She has competed in a variety of sports, including soccer, softball, equestrian, marksmanship, and JROTC. Within the sport of marksmanship, she has even competed at the National Junior Olympics.
Mental performance consulting helps individuals and teams strengthen the psychological skills needed to perform at their best under pressure. Whether you are an athlete, performer, student, or professional, this non-clinical approach provides evidence-based strategies to enhance focus, confidence, resilience, and goal achievement.
My approach is grounded in sport psychology and motor behavior. I tailor each intervention to your unique needs, working collaboratively to identify strengths and growth areas, build mental skills that support your goals, and develop a personalized performance plan to help you perform with clarity and consistency, especially when it matters most.
Common Areas of Focus:
Managing performance anxiety and nerves
Enhancing concentration and mental clarity
Building confidence and motivation
Developing effective routines and preparation strategies
Setting and achieving meaningful goals
Strengthening team dynamics and communication
Sessions are based on the needs of the client and may be completed in-person or virtually. Sessions can be relaxed at the athlete's home, walking in a park, practicing in the backyard, or simply just a phone call.

Browse our roster of vetted private coaches to find the right fit for you.
Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
