Mental Performance Coaching works.
This isn't therapy. I teach every athlete to apply the latest neuroscience and sports psychology tools, strategies and concepts to help them perform their best, bounce back from challenges, and find joy in the process – both in their sport and in life.Â
learn moreA former D1 athlete who understands just how crucial an athlete’s mental strength and skills are to their overall performance and wellbeing.
As a mental skills coach, I help athletes learn to manage emotions, increase resiliency, develop new perspectives, and ultimately rewire their brains so they can perform at their peak and enjoy their sport, and life, again.
I know first-hand the pressure, doubt, judgment, and challenges that come with being a high-level athlete. And because I’ve been there, and I know what’s possible, I believe that every athlete deserves to feel confident and capable. Coaching empowers my clients with the skills, perspectives, and tools they need to excel and find their joy again.

"Mental training has been instrumental in helping to become a better athlete. By focusing on techniques, such as visualization, goal setting, and self-talk, I have been able to improve my performance and achieve my athletic goals at the collegiate level and beyond. Additionally, mental training has helped me to stay focused and motivated, even during tough training sessions or competitions. Overall, mental training has been an essential part of my development as an athlete, and I believe it can be beneficial for anyone looking to improve their performance."
Colin Roos - University of Utah Baseball & SLCC Baseball
"Mental performance training has helped me compete and find success at a high level. It's one of the most overlooked aspects of preparation. College coaches and MLB scouts look for this part of your game, and every single one has asked how much time I've invested in it."
Olivia M. - UNLV & UW Volleyball
"This training continues to help me be at my best. I’ve learned that I’m in control of the thoughts I want to have about myself, others, my life and my game. Our brain doesn’t always give us an accurate perception of reality. Managing my thinking can be hard work, but it’s worth it and makes life more enjoyable to live how I want to live. Thanks for empowering me to live this way Erin!"
“I learned how to structure my goals as a game plan for my life, and how to have beneficial conversations with friends and family to gain their support in my achievements!”Â
- Grace H.,  Point Loma Nazarene University Volleyball
Jett L. - College of Idaho Soccer & TrackÂ
"The effect of the SPC program was profound and immediate for me. I learned the driving factors behind what makes a good performance in the mind, and it completely changed my game on the field. This understanding unlocked a new level of control over my own mind, and it greatly improved my performances, and my experience overall with sports. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this program to any athlete who wants to improve their game!"
Coach Piper
"Slingshot helped my team in ways I could only imagine. I had high hopes because I know how important the mental aspect of the game is, and Erin & Shannon delivered!  The amount of teaching & tools my team will take with them through the rest of their lives is astounding. I would highly encourage other coaches to try it out!"
Tyson R. Northwest Nazarene University Baseball
"This mental training has helped me stay calm in stressful situations, either on the mound or in real life. Before learning about the mental side I was very inconsistent with my emotions, but once I practiced breathing and many of the different cues to take my mind off the stress IÂ became very calm. I am now better at controlling my emotions."
Chantel K. ~ Parent
"Performance coaching has made a huge impact on my son’s life – both in sports and in other areas. As a parent, I can attest that mental training has made a huge impact on my son’s life – both in sports and in other areas. Dylan uses strategies he learned to battle through tough moments on the baseball field. When he was 14, he was extremely sick and in the hospital for over a week. I talked him through many scary moments using things learned through performance coaching. It was amazing to see how what he learned for baseball transferred to a time when he needed mental toughness most."Â
Dylan K. -Â Â Walla Walla CC & Bushnell University BaseballÂ
"Working with SPC has helped me tremendously with learning how to deal with the mental side of the game. I can relax and stay in the moment, and not try to do too much. This program will teach you what no other coach can. It is a side of sports that isn’t talked about enough. And Coach Erin has taught me so much that I still use to this day!"
“I walked away with the ability to have a lot more control with my mind when stuff isn’t going my way. I tend to forget what’s worrying me in 25-30 seconds after using the tools.”
- Scotty H., Basketball & NWP Baseball Club
