About The Process

The Process: Make Your Sport Fun Again
We focus on understanding why you choose poor behaviors and thoughts, then diligently work to extinguish them. This framework isn’t just for sport—it supports personal and professional stability.
What we do:
- Examine core beliefs that influence your performance
- Bring reality to your game with practical, science-based strategies
- Create a healthy framework to live your life—both on and off the field
- Rebuild a joyful, sustainable relationship with sport
- Improve focus, resilience, and overall well-being
Join us to transform your mindset, sharpen your game, and thrive in every aspect of life.
THE PROCESS
Self-identity is the most important facet of self-esteem and a successful relationship with sports, family, community, and faith.
If we have a poor identity, we view ourselves as less than. We perceive ourselves as inferior, and our performance reflects that belief.
If we believe we are impostors, our fortune will eventually disappear.
At THE PROCESS, we focus on being well-rounded and faith-driven individuals, with a natural strength in sports. We focus on using our gifts in athleticism and growing our mind and body in a way that exemplifies greatness. We believe we were wonderfully made and will perform at our highest level.
Pitfalls of Athletes
Athletes often experience anxiety before a game or match. We address these specific issues and more:
- Fear of making a mistake
- Fear of how to handle a mistake
- Fear of failure
- Fear of being drafted or not making a team (e.g., D1)
- Fear of scrutiny from others watching their performance
- Learned helplessness when mistakes occur
- Common fears extend to relationships and personal expectations
- Fear of letting others down (coaches, teammates, fans)
- Fear of feeling inadequate
- Fear of disappointing family members
The core aim is to shift focus from fear to method and enjoyment.
Focus on what we are doing in the present moment.
Enjoy the game rather than playing with fear or anxiety.
Stop playing to please others (parents, external expectations, spectators).
Play to fulfill personal purpose, passion, and intrinsic motivation.

Services
Individual Counseling/Coaching
As our process improvement initiatives grow, we will create more opportunities for individual clients seeking business optimization. Currently, I am taking on two new clients per month on an application basis only, focusing on streamlining business processes.
Observation of Games
This is an opportunity for me and my staff to observe how you perform under pressure and manage stress, which is crucial for business optimization. I will take notes and meet with the athlete to discuss strategies for process improvement in dealing with their stress and frustrations. Often, we can identify where performance declines due to negative feelings and self-defeating behaviors, highlighting the importance of streamlining business processes.
Organizational meetings with staff and coaches
This is a unique opportunity for organizations with multiple teams to engage in business optimization by obtaining direct feedback, addressing questions, and setting goals for process improvement to help athletes reach their full potential, while also focusing on streamlining business processes.
Consult with personal coach or skills coach
Skill coaches and personal coaches are the backbone of most successful athletes. I am available to consult with the coach to gain insight from their expertise, which can be instrumental in business optimization and process improvement, helping to tailor their mental competitive plan while streamlining business processes.
