Change is in the air! Itā€™s a new school year, the start of fall seasons, and a time many clients are dealing with change. While change is inevitable (new schools, coaches, teams, friends, levels of sport, countries, cultures, injury, etc) it is one of the hardest things in life. Weā€™ve gotten so used to increased mobility around sport and in life that we forget humans still struggle to emotionally process and adjust. Itā€™s not as easy as it looks on social media. Human reactions often include uncertainty, anxiety, loneliness, performance dips, and fear. If you are facing a sports, school, relationship, or life transition, working with me can help us create a gameplan! First, itā€™s normal to struggle - acknowledging it is powerful. Second, you donā€™t have to face this alone. Here is an example of a helpful tool we use to collaborate, learn, and grow through change. Reach out for 1:1 coaching today! Link in bio

Part of my job is to take the things swirling around in peopleā€™s minds / weighing them down and help them 1) verbalize them 2) organize them 3) address the obstacles they are honestly experiencing 3) help them find the confidence to pursue their goals 4) TAKE STRATEGIC ACTION (based on my clinical background and lived knowledge about what REALLY works at the high levels of sport). What does it take to not just get to a goal, but thrive there? How do we go all in toward our goals without being destroyed or damaged in the pursuit of them? Being a coach in this realm is a balance of creating safety and pushing clients beyond their comfort zone. Proud of this client working with me to get their jumbled thoughts out of their brain and creating a clear ā€œroadmapā€ for themself. We had to get way clearer on what each of these goals really mean, what is first priority, and what action-steps go into them (short-term and long term). Now we work!

A little Thursday reframe šŸ” Reframing is the mental skill of consciously shifting your perspective to change how you feel and act. It includes rewriting narratives to replace automatic thoughts with more helpful alternatives. Recognizing the privilege of the moment helps us turn dread into hope/opportunity. This is one example of how to reframe.

Most people benefit from a professional helping coach them through the process of real reframing. It is NOT just seeing the bright side of things. It includes finding evidence to counter your negative thought patterns. This is a skill thatā€™s effective for sports performance AND life. Go beyond sport!

Performance work often focuses on mastering our emotions. And yet for elite athletes and coaches this can come at a personal cost. When we become detached from, or limit emotional flexibility our ability to connect with others and empathize can be impacted. This article provides some beneficial context for what this can look like. The information here is helpful for elite athletes and coaches who have become partners, parents, etc. Emotions are not enemies. What works for sports performance doesnā€™t always work for life! If you are experiencing challenges and need some new tools - reach out to work with me! Know that you are NOT alone!
