Why I LOVE Working with Athletes

Why I Absolutely LOVE Working with Athletes (Yes, Even the Ones Who Zoom Past Me on Mountain Trails) 🏔️🚴‍♂️

There’s something about working with athletes that lights me up. I don’t just mean professional sports stars — I’m talking about student athletes, weekend warriors, sprinters, dancers, gymnasts, and that one uncle who had an obsessive love of hockey (shoutout to Uncle Hockey).


Growing up in Missouri, my family lived and breathed sports. We were all track runners — sprinters. Fast, intense, let’s-go kind of people. It wasn’t just a sport; it was a metaphor for how I lived my life. My grandmother, a sprinter too, was known for her incredible calves (honestly, they were a whole vibe).


By the time I was four, I was dancing. And then came gymnastics. I loved pushing my body, learning new things, and expressing myself through movement — even if it meant some injuries along the way. Those experiences helped me understand what drives athletes: the dedication, the pressure, the physical demands, and the joy.


In Colorado, where I live, athletes seem to grow on trees. I’ll be huffing and puffing on a mountain hike when a cyclist blurs past me like it’s nothing. And you know what? I love it. There’s something so inspiring about being surrounded by that energy.


Student athletes in particular hold a special place in my heart. They juggle practices, games, schoolwork, social pressures — and still show up. It’s a lot. That’s why I’m so passionate about supporting them, helping them keep their head above water, and showing them how to navigate it all without burning out.


If you’re an athlete, or you care about one, and you’re looking for support, guidance, or just someone who gets it — I’d love to connect. Let’s make the sprint of life a little more manageable, and maybe even more joyful.



✨ Let's celebrate the small wins that build the big life you want. Because success isn’t just a destination — it’s the journey we take together. Schedule a call now!
