Go 3Deep. Take the LEAP!
Hi, I'm Jill. I work with elite athletes and executives on the kind of alignment that actually holds up when things get hard. Most coaching never gets past mindset. I go 3Deep: head, heart, body - because when performance breaks down, it's rarely that someone didn't understand what to do. It's that their body was already somewhere else. My background is a strange mix: I've led global People teams as a senior HR/OD executive, and I've coached mental performance for USA Rugby National Officials and NCAA athletics. Different worlds, same pattern - under real pressure, people who know exactly what they should do still can't get there. That's what I actually work on: helping you notice the pattern that takes over when pressure hits, and rebuilding the head-heart-body connection so you're not fighting yourself in the moment that matters most. I'm bringing this to youth athletes now too. Ready to Go 3Deep? Take the LEAP.
How I can help you improve
I help student-athletes move from autopilot to elite - not by talking more about mindset, but by training the Head, Heart, and Body to work as one.
Most overthinking on the field isn't really a thinking problem. It's a nervous system still bracing for pressure that's already passed. I help you locate that pattern before it costs you the play, and bring your head, heart, and body back into the same room when it counts.
Eyeing a college scholarship? Trying to find your voice on the pitch? It's the same work either way. Stop playing small.
Go Deep. Take the LEAP.
A typical training session
The 3Deep Training Experience: From Autopilot to Elite
A session with me blends cognitive strategy with somatic regulation - we train the nervous system for pressure, not just talk through it.
Phase 1: The Somatic Check-In (10 min) — LOCATE
We start by locating your baseline, using bio-feedback and nervous system tracking to find exactly where you're holding tension. Paced breathing or unilateral tracking moves you out of fight-or-flight and into focused calm.
Phase 2: The Pattern Audit (15 min) — EXPOSE
We dig into a real performance block or a recent high-pressure moment. Using the Enneagram, we expose the mental script - the inner critic - that showed up, and look at the gap between your best possible self and your autopilot reaction.
Phase 3: The System Shift (20 min) — ALIGN
This is the head-heart work. Experiential drills - the "In-the-Box" constraint, "Wide Awake Posture" - realign emotional intent with physical execution. We practice Wise Mind integration: acknowledging the pressure without letting it call the play.
Phase 4: The Integrated LEAP (15 min) — PERFORM
We take what we just practiced and apply it to a simulated, game-speed scenario under pressure loading. Grounding drills and visualization build the muscle memory so the response becomes automatic on the pitch.
The Takeaway
Every session ends with a Personal Roadmap - a 60-second reset drill you can use mid-game to bring your system back into flow.
We don't practice until we get it right. We train until the body can't get it wrong..

Best coach I ever had
A Vice President for a major multi-billion dollar organization that took a chance on me was the best coach I've ever had. I was fairly unknown to him but he saw something special in me and gave me a role that others thought I couldn't succeed in. Not only did I succeed, but it caused my career to skyrocket. You only need one person who believes in you to make all the difference in the trajectory of your life.
What athletes & parents should know
I build trust quickly because I see the dormant potential in people that they often overlook in themselves. I'm relatable and am the 'one person' who holds the vision of their excellence until they can internalize it.
Through the 3Deep LEAP Model, I guide performers to stop fighting their own nervous systems and start self-tuning in real-time. My goal is to move you beyond temporary 'peaks' and into a permanent recalibration, where your true self becomes your steady state, and the optimal zone becomes your default setting.

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!
