Book Private Mental-performance Lessons with Coach Juan Diego

I help tennis players handle pressure, stay confident during matches, and perform consistently when it matters most.

I am a mental performance coach with a master’s degree in sport psychology and over a decade of experience supporting athletes across different levels and competitive environments. My work focuses on helping athletes develop the mental skills required to perform with confidence, focus, and emotional control under pressure.

I have worked with youth, collegiate, and elite athletes in both individual and team sports, including soccer adn tennis. My experience includes supporting players at the academy and high-performance level, collaborating with national sport structures, and working with athletes who qualified for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. I have also worked with high-level youth soccer players connected to professional development environments.

My approach is practical, structured, and evidence-based. I help athletes improve concentration, manage competitive stress, strengthen confidence, and build consistent routines they can apply in training and competition. Sessions are designed to provide clear tools and strategies athletes can immediately use in real performance situations.

I work remotely with athletes based in the United States and internationally. My goal is to help athletes translate their physical preparation and technical skills into confident, consistent performance when it matters most.

I help athletes strengthen the mental skills that directly impact performance in training and competition. My work focuses on building focus, confidence, and emotional control so athletes can perform consistently under pressure.

Through structured mental performance coaching, I help athletes:

Improve concentration and stay locked in during key moments

Build confidence that holds up under competitive pressure

Manage nerves, stress, and emotional swings during games

Develop effective pre-game and in-game routines

Recover quickly from mistakes and maintain composure

Translate practice performance into competition results

Each session is practical and goal-driven. Athletes learn specific tools they can apply immediately in training and competition, regardless of sport or competitive level. My approach is tailored to each athlete’s needs, helping them compete with clarity, confidence, and consistency when it matters most.

Each session is structured, focused, and tailored to the athlete’s specific needs and competitive goals. Sessions are conducted remotely and designed to be practical and immediately applicable to training and competition.

A typical session includes:

Check-in and goal alignment to review recent performances, challenges, and progress

Mental skill development, such as focus, confidence, emotional regulation, or pressure management

Applied strategies and exercises athletes can use during training and competition

Performance routines, including pre-game, in-game, or reset routines

Action steps to apply between sessions and track progress

Sessions are interactive and collaborative. Athletes are encouraged to apply the tools discussed in real performance environments, then reflect on what works best for them. Over time, sessions build a consistent mental framework that supports confident decision-making, composure under pressure, and reliable performance when it matters most.

The best coach I ever had taught me that performance is not only about physical ability or tactics, but about how an athlete thinks and responds under pressure. He emphasized preparation, accountability, and emotional control, and showed me how trust and clear communication can completely change an athlete’s confidence and performance.

That experience had a lasting impact on me as an athlete and played a key role in my decision to pursue mental performance coaching. It shaped the way I work with athletes today—focused on clarity, consistency, and helping athletes perform with confidence when it matters most.

I take a structured, professional, and athlete-centered approach to mental performance coaching. My goal is to help athletes develop practical mental skills they can use consistently in training, competition, and everyday life.

Sessions are focused on performance development, not therapy. I create a supportive and respectful environment where athletes are encouraged to communicate openly, take responsibility for their growth, and apply what they learn in real performance situations. Progress is built through consistency, accountability, and clear action steps between sessions.

I value transparency, professionalism, and long-term development. Parents can expect clear communication, a structured process, and an approach that supports both performance and personal growth. Athletes can expect focused sessions, actionable tools, and guidance designed to help them perform with confidence and composure under pressure.
