"I believe the mental and physical are inseparable. To reach your potential, you must train both."
Rooted in Experience.
Driven by Results.
With 10 years of experience coaching Division 1 track and cross country, I've seen firsthand what separates the good athletes from the great ones. It's rarely just about the miles—it's about the mind.
My unique approach combines high-level athletic coaching with a background in therapy and counseling. This allows me to help runners navigate performance anxiety, build genuine self-belief, and train with a level of clarity they've never had before.

"I've spent a decade on the track with some of the best athletes in the country. I know what it takes to perform when it matters most."
My time as a Division 1 coach taught me that physical preparation is only half the battle. The athletes who consistently reach the podium are the ones who have mastered their internal narrative.
A Legacy of Elite Performance
During her 11-year tenure at Utah State University, including four seasons as the associate head coach of the track & field and cross country programs, Sarah established a proven track record of developing elite athletes.
National Success: Guided both men’s and women’s cross country teams to multiple NCAA Championship appearances, highlighted by a program-best 11th-place national finish for the men in 2020. Coached athletes to top-10 individual national finishes, including a 7th-place finish in the women's steeplechase (2024) and a 6th-place finish in the men's 10K (2018).
Conference Dominance: Led her athletes to 16 Mountain West Conference titles. Her coaching helped secure the men's cross country team's first-ever MW title in 2019 and a program-best 2nd-place finish for the women in 2021.
Academic & Athletic Excellence: Coached multiple student-athletes to prestigious awards, including the Elite 90 Award (given to the top student-athlete at a national championship) and the MW Student-Athlete of the Year. Consistently developed runners to break school records and qualify for the NCAA West First Rounds year after year.
Core Values & Beliefs
These principles guide every training plan I write and every coaching session I lead.
Work With Your Mind
Performance anxiety isn't something to 'fix'—it's something to navigate. Learn to use your mind as an ally, not an opponent.
Self-Belief is Built
Confidence isn't a personality trait; it's a skill developed through consistent, intentional mental and physical practice.
The Mental-Physical Link
You cannot maximize physical fitness if your mental state is drained. We train the whole athlete, always.
Sustainable Performance
We focus on clarity and accountability to reduce fatigue, injury, and burnout, ensuring long-term success.
