WHY ME?

My experience as a professional soccer player in one of the top leagues worldwide has taught me more than the technical aspects of the sport - I have learned invaluable life lessons.

Each year of competition was used to hone in on my leadership and mental performance skills, making each day an opportunity to learn and teach others.

My training as a mental performance coach compliments my ability to empower others to grow and develop themselves.

I love sports because they are an enjoyable and creative way to evolve mentally and physically. They also provide an environment to try out and test new ways to develop your leadership and mental performance. 

I am the teammate that is going to show you what I’ve learned and empower you to believe that you can achieve greatness in your own, unique way! 

WHAT I ENJOY

  • Surrounding myself with positive people who engage in perspective shifting conversation
  • Expressing myself through fashion 
  • Spending time with the most important people in my life - my family!
  • Dancing as a method of therapy!
