The Champion’s Blueprint

Mental Performance Coaching for Professional Athletes

Discover how to use your own psychology to fuel enhanced states of performance. Strengthen your confidence, resilience, and mental game.

At Coached Success, we specialize in providing cutting-edge mental performance and sport psychology coaching for professional athletes. Our mission is to empower athletes to reach their full potential by teaching/equipping them with psychological strategies and mental techniques that will help drive their success both on and off the field. 

As an athlete you spend a tremendous amount of time practicing your technical skills, working on your tactical ability and ensuring that you are physically capable of meeting the demands of your sport. But through experience we know that often little focus is given to training the minds of athletes, leaving them vulnerable to a host of challenges that can negatively impact their performance, such as performance anxiety, the lack of confidence, overthinking and the inability to perform under pressure, to name a few.

Through our coaching programs we help athletes to develop the mental strength and mental agility needed to break through the challenges that negatively impact their performance, while also teaching them psychological techniques that allow them to approach the sport with the mentality of a champion.

    As a professional athlete, with a career spanning more than a decade, I ensure I surround myself with the best in the business - we are our associations. Kyle is one of the coaches I have been working with.

    The knowledge and insight he has shared, have helped me to this day; on and off the field. I really enjoy working with him. Just this morning we had a session on resilience and how it's a key characteristic for success. Thank you, Kyle.

    IIn such a short period of time, Kyle changed my mindset of thinking. I was in a bad place and on the verge of a breakdown and giving up on everything. After speaking to Kyle, I felt something shift on the inside. I went from 0 to 110% belief.

    Thank you Kyle, he is really good at what he does and I recommend him to anyone in a bad place.
