Are you an aspiring Mental Performance Coach or an experienced coach looking to enhance your business?

I've been blessed to work with some incredible companies (IMG Academy, Gatorade, Exos Performace) and teams (Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bulls, Green Bay Packers), and one thing is for sure: every athlete needs a mental performance coach!

Unfortunately, most graduate programs do a great job teaching the skills but lack an entrepreneurial component. Our comprehensive eight-week program bridges the gap often found in sports psychology programs – taking your educational background and experience and translating it into a thriving business.

NOTE: If you cannot make the times, it’s okay! We will set up weekly check-ins to make up for any or all of the morning meets.

Enroll Now

This cohort meets virtually on Fridays at 9:30 am PST on December 1, 8, 15, 22, and January 12, 19, and 26. If you miss or cannot make a session, it will be recorded and sent out to you shortly after we finish.

Each session is designed to provide you with the tools, techniques, and practical know-how to excel as a mental performance coach and navigate the business aspect of your practice.

Over the eight sessions, you'll gain key insights into defining roles, responsibilities, and continuous learning opportunities, identifying target markets, and formulating your unique services and product offerings.

We are keeping this cohort small, so if you are interested, grab your virtual seat!

You'll also learn how to establish an impactful online presence and implement effective marketing strategies while mastering the art of pricing and financial management. With an average of 2-4 hours of engaging work per week, including weekly virtual Team Huddles or personalized 1:1 coaching sessions, we ensure a comprehensive, immersive learning experience. In addition to the interactive learning sessions, you'll receive a hard copy of "Beyond the Game," a course workbook, and a personal journal to track your progress.
