CMPC Mental Performance Coach for Athletes Struggling with Confidence & Pressure

Maggie is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant from the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and has a Master’s degree in Sport & Performance Psychology. She has over a decade of experience in performance environments. As a former professional dancer, she understands the mental demands of high-level training and competition. She works with athletes and performers to build confidence, improve focus, and perform under pressure. Her approach combines evidence-based mental skills training with real-world performance experience to help clients stay composed, resilient, and consistent in high-stakes moments.

About me

Hi, I’m Maggie Goodman, CMPC, a mental performance consultant passionate about helping athletes strengthen the mental side of performance. My background as a former professional dancer first introduced me to the pressure, discipline, and mindset required to perform at a high level, which ultimately led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Sport & Performance Psychology and become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC).

I work with athletes to help them build confidence, improve focus, manage pressure, and perform more consistently in competition. My approach is individualized, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based mental performance strategies. I believe mental training should be just as intentional as physical training, and I strive to create an environment where athletes feel supported while also challenged to grow.

I work with athletes across a variety of sports and levels, helping them develop the mental skills needed to trust themselves, respond to adversity, and compete freely under pressure.

The mental side of sport often becomes the difference between performing well in practice and performing well when it matters most. I help athletes develop the mental skills necessary to handle pressure, stay confident through setbacks, and compete with greater consistency.

Some common areas we work on include:

* Confidence and self-talk

* Focus and concentration

* Managing performance anxiety and nerves

* Emotional regulation during competition

* Resetting after mistakes

* Pre-performance routines

* Motivation and mindset

* Trusting training and instincts under pressure

Mental performance coaching is not about “just thinking positively.” It’s about building practical skills and strategies athletes can consistently apply in training and competition.

Every athlete is different, so sessions are tailored to the individual athlete’s goals, sport, personality, and current challenges.

A typical session may include:

* Discussing recent performances, practices, or challenges

* Identifying mental patterns or habits impacting performance

* Learning and practicing specific mental performance tools

* Building routines and strategies for competition

* Reflecting on progress and setting goals moving forward

Sessions are collaborative and conversational, while still structured and goal-oriented. My goal is to help athletes not only understand the mental side of performance, but also know how to apply these skills consistently in real situations.

* Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP)

* M.S. in Sport & Performance Psychology

* B.F.A. in Dance Performance. Former professional dancer with firsthand experience performing at a high level

* Experience working with athletes across multiple sports and competitive levels

* Background in coaching and performance-focused training

* Passionate about helping athletes develop confidence, resilience, and long-term mental skills both in and outside of sport

My dance teacher growing up was so influential to me. She was the person who inspired me to pursue dance and follow my dreams. This instructor had a way of captivating her students and let her passion for dance radiate out to everyone. She knew when to be strict, when to have fun, and always gave important and honest feedback. She I everything I strive to be in a coach!

I genuinely care about building strong relationships with the athletes I work with. I strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where athletes feel comfortable being honest about both successes and struggles.

I understand that performance is about more than results; athletes are also balancing pressure, expectations, confidence, identity, and growth both within and outside of sport. My role is to help athletes develop skills that support not only better performance, but also healthier and more sustainable relationships with their sport.

I value communication, consistency, and meeting athletes where they are. Every athlete’s journey is different, and I believe mental performance coaching should reflect that.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
