  • PLAY | GROW | THRIVE

    Sports Counseling in Seattle | WA

    PLAY is how it all begins.

     

    We play to connect with others. We play to experience the joy from activities.

     

    We play to develop and energize our mind, body, and spirit.

     

    Most of all, we play to have FUN!

     

    We GROW self confidence through playing and interacting with the world around us. We grow through what we go through.

     

    Sports, activities, and competition offer us the opportunity to identify our capabilities, cultivate our strengths, and build productive beliefs in ourself. By participating in challenging and dynamic environments we are offered the opportunity to increase self confidence when we believe we have given all we have - then grow beyond.

     

    When we identify and understand what matters, harness the power of productive self-talk, have a purpose to our direction, commit to put forth the effort to practice our intentions, there is no limit to what we can become.

    We hold the components necessary to enable us to THRIVE!

     

    When we PLAY...We grow

    When we GROW...We THRIVE...

     

    Sports, activities, and competition offer dynamic environments for us to build a productive and adaptable mind, body, and spirit.

  • Services

    Often an athlete begins to have doubts, questions their abilities, may fall short of their goals, max out their mental and emotional "tools", or somewhere along the path lose momentum, they lose the "why?", The "why" they are working so hard.

     

    Our process includes building a sustainable mental & emotional foundation beyond their field of play. We offer insights, strategies, and tools for our clients to build their knowledge, skills, and abilities to support how they want to show up.

     

    We collaborate with our clients to begin the process of developing a life practice which enables them to actualize their aspirations, objectives, and goals on the field of play and in the game of life.

    Navigating Defeat

    Losing, not making the cut, and injuries have a place in the process of sport and life.

    It is a reminder of what matters to us. The look on a players face after a game, match, or not making the cut is always evidence of how much the experience has mattered to them.

     

    As parents, caregivers, extended family members, friends, siblings - there’s never the “right thing to say…” to help dilute the sting of emotions..

    While it is common place to want to be encouraging and say positive things. It is also valuable to recognize the sadness, hurt, disappointment, frustration, and numerous other emotions circulating during an injury or after defeat..

     

    We work with our clients to understand how to navigate and metabolize the emotions when the plan for success incurs a delay due to injury or just doesn't happen.

    Passionately

    I have played sports my entire life, coached youth sports, and enjoy chasing a finish line and competing with others. I appreciate the opportunity to challenge myself in an effort to actively pressure test my own growth.

     

    I have finished short, medium, and Ironman distance triathlon's in an effort to challenge myself mentally, physically, and emotionally.

     

    I understand how it feels to reach limits and then push beyond. That ability to push beyond doesn't come from extra time in the gym, on the pitch, or field of play. It comes from developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities in the Mental Gym!

     

    Mental skills can be the difference maker when it comes to achieving a goal.

     

    When I work with clients, my passion shows up as encouraging, committed, focused, hard working, enthusiastic, and comes with a consistent message.
