Using my own experience from competing on the WTA Tour for 10 years and coaching at the highest level in college, I use a customized way of coaching for each individual player based on her or his needs, prior experience and level of commitment to grow as a player. Each person is at a very different stage of their development as a player and as such is seen as a very unique “project”. In a cooperative approach, we design practices together that are challenging in all aspects of the game (technical, tactical, athletic and mental areas) and lead to the fastest improvement possible. As Mental Skills coach, I use a variation of techniques to help athletes stay positive and productive to stay competitive. As a foundation of being able to read relevant cues and create more space for better choices, I introduce Mindful Awareness Training to athletes.
