Falling Apart In Competition or Trying to Gain That Edge?

The Simple Program That Helps Athletes Hit, When It Matters Most


Get started now!




Someone is always gaining the competitive edge.

Is it you?

But it’s not all about winning–it is about doing your best. Winning feels great, but knowing that you gave it your all, builds character. Maybe you train your best, only to have it fall apart at competition. Maybe you only needed a fraction of a point to bring home the championship. How frustrating is that? If you are not training your mind specifically for competition, something is missing.


Train your mind to hit in competition. You work too hard not to!

Competition Bubble is based on decades of working with thousands of athletes, some at the highest levels of sports. How is training your mind to perform in competition different than practice? One word: Intensity. Perhaps you are nervous about competing because you’ve had so much time off during COVID. Or maybe you are stressed about your routines coming together and not being consistent. Or maybe you are watching all your hard work in the gym, not pay off at a meet and you are looking to tighten it up for the next one.

But how can you possibly fit one more thing into your schedule? CompetitionBubble delivers all at once and can be worked at your own pace. I have crafted each tool module into short, 3-5 minute videos, audios, or PDFs (your choice), to fit into athlete's busy lives. Many of the skills and drills will dovetail in with the workouts you are already doing. And if you download the free iOS Teachable app, you can review them anytime, anywhere.

This is the first program of it’s kind focused only on competition, leaving you free to do your best, have fun doing it, and increase your chance of success.

These tools help athletes:

Find or rediscover the joy in competing

“Rewire” the brain by creating new, positive neural pathways to make practice feel like competition and competition feel like practice

Learn how to use stress and pressure as peak performance fuel

Learn how to focus when the lights are on you

Learn how to build competition-specific confidence

Make your routines more automatic, without overthinking

Turn around negative thoughts fast so they don’t interfere

Learn how to lighten your mind to unleash from the pressure beast

Learn mental drills to practice your new skills, under pressure

Release yourself from the outcome, scores, places, and approval

and much more.

I've also included a module for you parents to help you help your athlete in a healthy, supportive way!

Join me in Competition Bubble to learn the tools that will help you hit in competition and life.
