What is Sport Performance?

It’s like training for your brain. Just like strength and flexibility take time and effort, so do the mental skills that support high performance.

These sessions are beneficial for:

  • Tumbling mental blocks

  • Performance nerves or anxiety

  • Frustration with “mental mistakes”

  • Improving focus, confidence, and resilience

The two people in front of her are partially visible, one taking notes. The setting seems to be an outdoor or rooftop area with a cityscape in the background.

What happens in a session?

The first session is all about understanding your unique experience:

  • What have you already tried?

  • What helped — and what didn’t?

  • When did the problem start, and how is it showing up?

From there, we’ll create a plan that fits your goals, personality, and skill level. Some sessions are more conversational, while others may involve movement, breathing exercises, or visualization.

A process — not a quick Fix

Progress takes time and effort. Sport psychology is not a one-time magic solution — it works best when athletes are open, consistent, and willing to practice the tools we build together. The more they put into it, the more they’ll get out of it.
