What Sports Parents Say…

“We spend 20 to 30 minutes a day working on the mental game. My daughter is really enjoying it. It has helped her, her mother, and I. I think you need to open a branch up here in Detroit, Michigan because there are a lot of kids and parents here that need this. Keep up the good work!”*

FAQ:

What is soccer mental performance coaching?

It’s one-on-one coaching with a certified mental performance coach focused on helping soccer players build the mental skills needed to compete with confidence, boost their performance, and make lasting changes to how they handle pressure in games.

Why would an athlete need a mental performance coach?

Many talented players perform well in practice but struggle to bring that same level of play into games, often because of nerves, self-doubt, or trouble staying focused under pressure. A mental performance coach helps close that gap, building the confidence and mental skills needed to compete in games the way an athlete already does in practice.

Why is one-on-one coaching considered the most effective approach?

Working directly with a certified coach lets the program be built entirely around one athlete’s specific mental game challenges, whether that’s confidence, focus, or trust in their skills, rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all approach.

Who are the mental performance coaches?

The coaching team includes Patrick Cohn (CEO and Owner), Jaclyn Ellis, Lane Schwartz, and Carolyne Lawley, all certified mental performance coaches. Each coach’s background and credentials are available on their individual bio pages.

What kind of results do parents see from mental coaching?

Parents report meaningful changes in composure and confidence. One parent described her daughter staying relaxed and no longer “shutting down” during games, while another said his son’s stress level became consistently more positive and healthy before, during, and after games.

How do I get started with mental performance coaching?

Call 888-742-7225 with your questions, and the team will help match your athlete with a certified mental performance coach suited to their specific mental game needs.
