Skills for sport. Tools for life.
PLAYfree’s mission is to help athletes, coaches, and parents unlock the joy, growth, and performance potential of competitive spaces through the intentional development of growth environments and mental, emotional, and life skills.
By re-humanizing athletes and creating supportive, joyful competitive spaces, we can together access the potential - to uplift, unify, teach, and transform - that exists in sport.
And: Purposeful, resilient, intrinsically motivated and overall healthy athletes will always perform more consistently at a high level.

What is Mental Performance?
Mental performance is strength and resilience under pressure, calm and focus through the noise, adaptability and the ability to dynamically and intentionally shift attention under unpredictable conditions.
It is also having compassion for ourselves, seeking to grow forward from every setback and embrace challenges as necessary opportunities to express our best selves.
Performance is learning to engage in the present moment with attention, curiosity, and openness, identifying where attention is needed and meeting that demand.
About
I believe in taking a solution- and opportunity-focused, strengths-based approach to life skill development, learning, intention, and peak performance.
I use my experience as an athlete, coach, and coordinator to collaborate with athletes, teams, coaches, and parents in an effort to increase self-awareness, curiosity, and self-determination, and to bring compassion, joy, intrinsic meaning, and developmentally supportive coaching and parenting practices back into the world of sport.
