Think of me as the personal trainer for your brain!
I take a holistic approach, exploring the interplay between the physiological and psychological aspects of one's performance. Think of me as the personal trainer for your brain! In the same way that you might work with a personal trainer to increase overall strength or endurance, improve flexibility, or assist in rehabilitation from injury recovery, I can help you increase overall mental strength and endurance so you remain consistent throughout the season, improve your ability to be adaptable for when something inevitably does not go according to plan, and navigate the mental toll of injury recovery.

About Me:
I hold undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Kentucky in Kinesiology, Psychology, and Sport & Exercise Psychology. I became a Certified Mental Performance Consultant in 2021 and currently serve as an approved mentor through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. My experience spans elite youth, collegiate, and professional athletics, including serving as the Mental Performance Coach for Racing Louisville FC since the NWSL expansion in 2020. I have also completed four contracts with the United States Army as a Cognitive Performance Specialist and spent two years as a full-time Mental Performance Coach within a Fortune 100 wealth management organization, supporting high-performing sales professionals, executives, and other “corporate athletes.”
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you achieve consistency in your performances, regardless of the circumstances. Additionally, you will learn ways to achieve performance optimization, so that you may reach your full potential in your sport!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
During our work together, we will begin with education about mental performance topics, tools, and skills. Beyond that, we will transition into application and consider ways to incorporate those topics, tools, and skills into your performance context.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was one of the first 900 Certified Mental Performance Consultants in the world, and I am still one of fewer than 2,500 in good standing. I am the longest-serving Mental Performance Coach in the National Women's Soccer League, and I have unique experience working with athletes competing in Olympic trials and for their national teams.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had, Coach Smitt, had a way of making my teammates and me feel seen, heard, and valued in our conversations. She consistently highlighted what she valued about her players and encouraged us to do the same with each other, acknowledging the wins and what we were doing well at practice and in games.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I maintain good standing in my certifications - CMPC and CLC - and stay current with the most up-to-date information related to mental performance training and sport psychology theory.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
