Your child already works hard. They train, they practice, they show up. What mental performance coaching adds is the internal side of that equation — the focus, the composure after a mistake, the confidence that holds under pressure. Dr. Katie brings dual PhDs, on in industrial-organizational psychology and the other in anthropology. She has a background as a former professional motorsports athlete and competitive wrestling coach. She understands sport from the inside, communicates directly and warmly with athletes, adolescent and adult, and builds practical skills they can use immediately in competition — not abstract concepts they have to figure out how to apply. Every session is built around the unique athlete. The goal is always the same: help them access what they're already capable of. *Army Veteran*

I'm a performance coach, former professional motorcycle racer, and competitive wrestling coach. I work with athletes on the mental side of sport — the part that determines what happens when preparation meets pressure.
I help athletes build focus, composure, and confidence that holds when it counts. We work on the internal skills that turn what you can do in practice into what you actually do in competition.
I am an advocate for conversational coaching, so I ask questions and you do most of the talking. From there we identify what's getting in the way and build practical tools you can use immediately — before games, after mistakes, and in the moments that matter most.

My dad and my Army Drill Sergeants
I take this seriously. I show up prepared, I listen more than I talk, and I genuinely care about the athlete in front of me, not just their performance. Every session is built around you, not a script.

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.
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.
