Level 7 High Performance

I used to think being mentally tough meant pushing everything down, pretending I was always doing well, or only looking at the positives.
I used to spend a lot of time making sure other people thought I was okay, regardless of how I really felt inside.
It might have tricked a few people, but when you spend all your time trying to feel differently than you actually do, you begin to wonder if somethings wrong with you for feeling anything at all.

That's when burnout comes, good athletes quit, and others wonder why they no longer love the game that they have dedicated their lives to.

Now, I know that being mentally tough actually means seeing what's honestly happening inside me and having a way to RESPOND, not just react.
It doesn't mean I have to only focus on the positives or block anything out.
In fact, all mental toughness really requires is two things: awareness and honesty.

You have to be willing to see what's happening in your head, heart and gut.
And be honest enough to name it.

That's what grounds you in reality.
And from there, you can make a decision about what to do next with clarity and precision.

As a coach, this is the first skill I teach. Without awareness, honesty and TRUE mental toughness, no other skill will stick.

If you want to train for pressure, for trust in yourself, and for consistency, this is where it begins.

Merry Christmas from Level 7 🎄

This year, we are reflecting on this past year of growth, change, and relationships. We are so incredibly grateful for all of our clients, team members, and support system. Without y’all, none of this would be possible.

Hug your loved ones.

Express gratitude.

Spread joy.

Thank you to the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country.

To those who are still with us - thank you.
To those who have given it all - thank you.

There is nothing more noble than being willing to lay down your life to protect the freedom of people you have never met.

May we all live in a way that is worthy of your service. 🇺🇸

At Level 7, we work with athletic teams, professional organizations and high performing individuals. Here’s why ⤵️

Athletic teams ⚾️

Mental performance coaching offers a unique and powerful opportunity to influence not just individual athletes but the entire team culture. It can contribute to the development of a stronger, more resilient and high-performing team. The collective power of a mentally tough team can be the difference between good and great in the world of sports and the game of life.

Professional organizations 📊

The skills and strategies that enhance athletic performance are equally valuable in the professional world. Through coaching, professional organizations and corporations can cultivate a workforce that is not only mentally resilient and adaptable but also highly engaged and motivated. The investment in mental performance ultimately leads to a stronger, more competitive, and successful organization.

Individuals🚶🏻‍♂️

Working with a mental performance coach can be a game changer for both individual athletes and professionals. It can help individuals gain the mental tools and strategies needed to excel in their field, connect to their purpose, manage challenges with confidence, and realize their full potential. Whether in sports or in life, the benefits of this type of coaching can be profound and far-reaching.

HS & club COACHES-

We are hosting a free virtual workshop on Thursday, August 29th at 6:30pm CST and the topic is a critical one:

Communicating with Athletes for Connection & Performance 📈

Almost every single coach I have come across struggles with the same issue — it’s really hard to connect with the current generation of athletes. But they know that if they can’t connect, they can’t effectively coach.

We are going to do a deep dive into this topic and make sure that you leave the workshop with practical strategies and tools that you can implement with your team this season.

Click the link in my bio to reserve your spot! Once you’ve signed up, you will receive an email with the meeting details.

You’re not going to want to miss this one!

If you are properly prepared, you will succeed.

Let’s talk about how to build confidence when all the pressure is on you.

Pain is part of the journey. Understand this, embrace it, and never let it hold you back.
