Our mission is to help athletes compete by executing from a place of physical, mental, and emotional strength.

What is Sport Psychology and The Tactical Mind?
Being tactical is all about gaining an edge over your opponent. There is a new premium on having a mental edge on your opponent. At a younger age, it’s really easy to physically compete with people, but as you rise through the levels, it becomes less about the physical side. Physical skill can get you to the top, but it’s mindset that gets you to stay at the top. We help athletes perform better under stress, develop a positive mindset, gain more confidence, have more motivation, reset their focus quicker after making a mistake. We also help athletes enjoy their sport more. Because let’s be honest, if you’re struggling on the field mentally, you’re not going to be enjoying your sport as much as you should be.
Our Services
As a Cognitive Performance Coach, my goal is to help everyone perform their best when it matters most. This can be done by working with athletes individually in the office or conducting mental toughness workshops for the whole team at their desired location. FaceTime and Zoom make it possible now to meet with athletes from all over the country. About 60% of the athletes that work with The Tactical Mind are entirely virtual.
What is a Cognitive Performance Coach?
Whether you bring your A-game, B-game, or are dealing with your C-stuff, I’m here to help you bring 100% of whatever you have that day. Cognitive Performance coaches work to make sure that every day you compete at your best and have poise under pressure. Let’s get rid of having confidence and poise by just hoping it shows up.
