One of my specialities is working with young athletes to perform at their best. I offer Mental Skills Training and an array of Sports Psychology techniques to improve confidence, concentration and calmness. My background as a tennis teaching professional and having played varsity tennis in high school, college and beyond give me a unique understanding of the pressures young athletes face whether it is making the local high team or striving to be a professional on tour or playing in the major leagues. As a sports psychology consultant and mental skills coach, I can help young athletes to perform at their best.
