Play Calm. Stay Clear. Perform Better.
“Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.”
-Serena
When your head's in the right place, your game follows. I work with tennis and pickleball players to develop the mental skills that fuel consistency, calm, and competitive edge. Whether you’re battling nerves, struggling with self-talk, or trying to reset after a tough loss, we’ll work together to get your mindset match-ready.
Why the Mental Game Matters
Tennis and Pickleball Are More Mental Than Most People Realize.
When your performance dips, most people assume it’s physical, your mechanics are off, you didn’t practice enough, or you just need to push harder. But often, the real challenge is mental. Negative self-talk. Fear of making mistakes. Frustration that spirals. Pressure that builds before a serve or a key point. These are the patterns that quietly wreck consistency and take the joy out of playing.
Sound Familiar?
The Mental Game Shows Up In All Kinds of Ways
You overthink every shot or second-guess your decisions mid-match
You play great in practice, but freeze up during actual competition
You get down on yourself after a mistake and stay there
You lose focus or confidence after a few bad points
You walk off the court wondering, “Why did I get so upset?”
These moments don’t just affect your play, they affect how you feel about yourself. That’s where this work comes in.

Build a strong mental routine to stay grounded before and during matches
Identify and reframe self-critical thoughts

Who This Is For?
Support for Athletes at Every Level
I work with teens, adults, and competitive athletes who want to improve their game—not just on the scoreboard, but in how they handle themselves emotionally and mentally. Whether you’re chasing rankings, playing in a local league, or just want to stop getting in your own way, I offer a space to slow down, get curious, and make real change.
