I'm a mental performance consultant (MPC) with a M.Ed in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Springfield College. I've worked with athletes of all ages (youth to masters) and all sports. The bulk of my experience (applied and in research) lies in endurance sports, such as ultramarathon running. You may have read some of my writing in publications such as Ultra Running Magazine and the Pro Trail Runners Association's Trail Runner Tribune. I work with all athletes ages 8 and up and in all sports and exercise activities. I have this hard line to ensure that youth sport focuses on enjoyment rather than contributing to rising levels of youth sport burnout.
