While working as an educator in classrooms and gyms over the last decade I have been leading and speaking to students, athletes, coaches, and teachers on a daily basis. I had no plans of changing careers. Then came 2020 and I was forced to deal with some life-changing adversity. While recovering I learned that dealing with mental health is more important and more challenging than dealing with physical health. This led me to become a certified life coach and establish Mental Mettle Coaching LLC. My goal was simple, I wanted to help student-athletes and educators increase their mental toughness and help them gain confidence in their sport and their career. Now, in addition to offering one on one coaching and team coaching, I travel to speak to groups of athletes and to educators as professional development. I have learned to control what I can each day and I want to share this idea with others as I teach them how to “Live their 100”.
