Helping people and organizations thrive under pressure.
Evidence-based mental performance training and leadership development for athletes, coaches, leaders, teams, and organizations.
Pressure is inevitable. Meeting it well is a skill.
Pressure affects more than results. It influences confidence, focus, decision-making, communication, recovery, and relationships.
Athletes lose trust in themselves.
Leaders carry invisible burdens.
Coaches and parents struggle to know how to help.
You don’t need motivation. You need practical skills and support systems that help you perform well when the stakes are highest.
I help people develop the mental skills, self-awareness, and leadership capacities needed to perform effectively, navigate challenge, and sustain excellence over time.
This work is practical, evidence-informed, and grounded in a simple belief: clients lead. Their goals, context, and lived experience shape the work.
Experience that Grounds the Work
Built from 25+ years in sport, performance, leadership, and applied research.
PhD in Sport & Exercise Psychology
Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®)
High Performance (Practitioner), Sport Scientist Canada
Former Lead, Mental Performance, Canada Sport Institute Pacific
Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth, and Pan American Games experience
Co-owner, Mental Metrics Lab
I support athletes, coaches, teams, and leaders in developing the psychological characteristics needed to thrive under pressure - both in important moments of performance and across longer arc of growth, challenge, and sustained excellence.
“These sessions helped an athlete like me who was self-conscious and anxious turn into someone that is confident in their skills. The selection of tools made anxiety feel less large and made me feel in control.”

I help athletes, leaders, coaches, teams, and organizations thrive under pressure through evidence-based mental performance training and leadership development.
For more than 25 years, I have worked across sport and performance psychology, teaching, research, leadership, and high-performance sport — supporting Olympians, Paralympians, national teams, coaches, executives, healthcare professionals, and emerging leaders.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: clients lead. Their needs, goals, experiences, and context matter. My role is to create a thoughtful, trusting, and professional space where people can build the mental skills, self-awareness, and leadership capacities needed to perform effectively, navigate challenge, and sustain excellence over time.
I am also a co-founder of Mental Metrics Lab, an evidence-based mental performance assessment and development company for sport organizations.
Coastal Human Performance and Mental Metrics Lab reflect two complementary parts of the same mission: helping people and organizations develop the psychological skills required to thrive under pressure.
