Sports Psychology and Peak Performance
Sport Psychology deals with the psychological factors associated with participation and performance in athletics. I call on my on personal experience playing Olympic soccer to help athletes improve performance, and integrate sport and life.
Common reasons people may seek out sport psychology are: Anxiety/Stress, Motivation/Burnout, Self-Confidence, Goal-Setting, Imagery/Visualization, focus and concentration, Injury prevention and recovery. It is incredibly important to recognize the impact that sports injury can have on a person. And while treatment is often indicated to heal the body, it is imperative to engage in treatment to heal the mind as well.

Parent Training
Parent training for parents of athletes is a specialized form of education and support designed to help parents better understand and navigate the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with raising a young athlete.
Parents learn how to provide positive and constructive support to their child, including how to communicate effectively, manage expectations, and handle setbacks and disappointments.
Parents learn strategies for helping their child balance the demands of sports with other aspects of life, such as school, family, and social activities.
