Developing confident, resilient athletes to thrive in sport and life
Hi, I'm Talia, a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) with a master’s degree in Educational Psychology and a concentration in Sport Psychology. I specialize in applying evidence-based, research-driven strategies to enhance mental performance and support individual and team development. I have experience providing mental performance consulting across multiple individual and team sports, as well as working with various U.S. Army populations. My work focuses on helping individuals strengthen the psychological skills that support performance, including confidence, focus, motivation, resilience, and the ability to manage pressure. Through my experience in both athletic and tactical environments, I bring an individualized approach to helping high performers navigate challenges and reach their potential.
How I can help you improve
Whether you're looking to strengthen your mental game, work through a setback, or become more consistent in competition, sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals.
A typical training session
Sessions are one hour, conducted virtually, and are tailored to each athlete's individual goals, experiences, and needs. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences while also being challenged to step outside your comfort zone, take ownership of your development, and become more intentional in your approach to performance.
Career & accomplishments
I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. For the past two and a half years, I have worked with the U.S. Army, helping Soldiers develop the mental skills needed to perform in challenging and high-pressure environments.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was actually someone who didn't believe in me (we will not name them), particularly when I was navigating an injury. That experience was difficult because, during a time when I needed support and encouragement, I didn't always feel like I had someone in my corner. However, it taught me a lot about myself, my resilience, and the importance of believing in myself even when others did not.
What athletes & parents should know
I believe developing an athlete goes beyond improving performance in competition. It's about understanding the individual behind the athlete and helping them grow both in sport and in life. My approach centers on building genuine relationships and creating an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and empowered to take ownership of their development. My goal is to help athletes become not only better competitors but also more confident, resilient, and well-rounded individuals equipped with skills that extend far beyond their sport.

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!
