Honored to have been a guest speaker at yesterday’s Annual Managers Meeting with Twin Cities Orthopedics!

Mental skills training isn’t just for athletes. High performers across professional and business settings experience the same ebbs and flows of motivation, pressure, burnout, and the drive to succeed. Developing the skills to navigate these challenges is essential to being able to LEAD WELL.

I shared how leadership takes form in many different ways, and how it isn’t simply a destination, but a continuous opportunity to grow.

We focused specifically on the importance of pushing, pausing, pivoting, and passing, along with how these skills can influence both individual performance and the teams we lead.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share my perspective and connect mental skills with leadership in such a meaningful setting! 😊

To the parents raising athletes💙

Your athlete shows up to practice, to games, to tournaments, and gives so much of themselves to their sport. But what they are feeling underneath doesn’t always make it into the conversation on the car ride home.

Sometimes it looks like a quiet ride. Sometimes it’s them saying “fine” when they really aren’t. Other times, it’s a season that suddenly feels heavier than it used to be.

Swipe through for a few ways to notice what your athlete might be trying to tell you without actually saying it, how to support them, and words that open the conversation.

And a reminder: you that you don’t need to have the perfect response. You just have to be a person they feel safe coming to.

Sunday Reset 🔄

Not the reset where you meal prep, clean the house, or go grocery shopping – the kind where you check in on your mind the same way you’d check in on your body before a big week.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it’s a reminder to check-in with yourself, with others, and know when to reset before you’re running on empty.

1️⃣ Name what you’re feeling. Before you can manage it, identify it.
2️⃣ Check your recovery, not just your training. Rest, downtime, and sleep are as important as any physical skill.
3️⃣ Reconnect with your “why”. Performance pressure can bury the actual love of the game, keep focus on why you do what you do.
4️⃣ Ask for help before it piles up, whether it be a teammate, coach, parent, or licensed professional. Needing help isn’t a sign of weakness, it means you’re human.
5️⃣ Redefine what a “good day” looks like. Some days, it’s a perfect play or clean pass. Others it’s just showing up for yourself, and that’s okay!

Resetting isn’t just for when things fall apart. Sometimes it’s just part of your weekly routine.

The solution isn’t always more effort.

One of the things I love about working from home is that I get to create spaces that inspire reflection, creativity, and clear thinking.

Many of my best ideas for clients, athletes, and executives haven’t always come from sitting behind four walls. They’ve come from days like this.

Coffee in hand. Laptop open. And space to breathe and think.

As a sport and performance psychologist, I’ve learned that we often assume growth happens when we are doing more. Working and training harder. Pushing through at all costs.

But some of the most important growth happens when we pause long enough to reflect and reconnect with what matters most.

This is where we gain clarity to move forward with intention rather than simply reacting to what’s in front of us.

Whether I’m helping an athlete navigate pressure, a parent support their child, or an executive make decisions, the goal is often the same: creating enough space to see things more clearly.

Performance isn’t just built through action. It is also developed through reflection.

What’s a place that helps you do your best thinking?

You can feel the tension rise. The mind starts racing ahead. The body tightens. The moment suddenly feels bigger.

Part of growth in sport is learning how to come back to the present moment when everything around you feels heightened.

This is where trust, awareness, and composure are built. Stay present and you will own the moment.
