Question 1

What is the difference between Running Coaching and Mental Performance Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Running coaching focuses on the physical side of training—customized plans, pacing, workouts, and injury prevention. Mental performance coaching focuses on the psychological side—overcoming performance anxiety, building confidence, managing pre-race stress, and developing a resilient mindset. I offer them separately, or you can combine them for a holistic approach.

Question 2

Do you work with beginners or recreational runners?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For running coaching, I work with runners of all ages and skill levels, from beginners looking to run their first 5K to seasoned marathoners. However, my mental performance coaching is primarily geared towards serious high school and college athletes facing performance anxiety.

Question 3

How does the Confident Mindset Program work?

Accepted Answer

The Confident Mindset Program is an 8-week group coaching program specifically for female high school cross country and track athletes. It includes 8 weekly workshops, a private community chat, pre/post assessments, and a 1:1 deep dive session to help athletes manage anxiety and race the way they train.

Question 4

Can I do both Running Coaching and Mental Performance Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many athletes find that combining both yields the best results. You can sign up for a running coaching plan and add on mental performance sessions as needed.

Question 5

Where are you located? Do you offer in-person coaching?

Accepted Answer

I live in Logan, Utah. My coaching is primarily offered virtually, allowing me to work with athletes all over the country, but I can do in-person coaching if it's applicable on a case-by-case basis. We communicate via the Final Surge app, text, email, and video calls depending on your chosen plan.

Question 6

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Physical and mental adaptations take time. For running coaching, I recommend committing to at least 3 months to see improvements in fitness and race times. For mental performance, athletes often start noticing shifts in their mindset within the first few sessions, but lasting change requires consistent practice over several months.

Question 7

What is a Discovery Call?

Accepted Answer

A Discovery Call is a free, 30-minute consultation where we discuss your goals, current challenges, and determine which coaching option is the best fit for you. There is no pressure or obligation to sign up.
