frequently asked questions

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MENTAl performance, MENTAL skills, AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS TRAINING?

It’s all the same! Well, mostly. Whether it’s called mental performance, skills, or toughness, and regardless if the person goes by coach, trainer, or consultant, the common goal is to teach mindset concepts that help their target audience achieve greater success. Each professional follows their own preferred theories and strategies but the bigger-picture is that it’s all very similar.

is a mental performance coach considered a mental health professional?

While learning mental skills can increase both mental wellness and the prevention of mental health disorders, a mental performance coach is not a mental health professional. Should you or your athlete require assistance beyond what mental coaching can provide, referrals are available through the partnership with both MD Sports Performance and The Maryland Centers for Psychiatry.

Where is your office space located?

Thanks to the partnership with The Maryland Centers for Psychiatry, office space for individual meetings is available in Ellicott City, MD. Their address information can be found here.

Do you accept insurance?

Unfortunately, no. Mental performance coaches are unable to accept insurance.

How do you accept payments?

If meetings are held at one of the available office spaces, payments and invoicing will be handled by the office staff. Meetings held else-where can be paid for via cash, check, debit, or credit (Square is the payment processor used for all debit and credit transactions).

What are your hours of operation?

Because athletes and their families lead busy lives, I do not maintain any specific hours. All meetings are scheduled on a first come, first served basis and can include evenings and weekends.
