Foundations for Growth
Self-Paced Course: Mental Performance for High Achievers
Foundations for Growth is a practical, science-backed framework that walks you step by step through training your mental game.
Mental performance isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about working smarter and building systems that help you stay focused, resilient, and consistent.
How is this different from therapy or life coaching?
Therapy looks back. It helps you unpack the past and heal. What I do is different—it’s forward-focused and skill-based. We start from where you are right now and build the tools you need to show up stronger, recover faster, and perform without burning out.
And this isn’t life coaching either. I’m not here to hand you generic advice or tell you what worked for me. Everything I teach is grounded in psychology and neuroscience—real strategies you can measure, apply, and actually use when the pressure hits.
