Pleasure to Meet You
I'm Shannon
I’ve coached high school and college students for over a decade, and I never get tired of helping others learn, grow, and master their own abilities.
As a college swimmer, my identity was fully wrapped up in who I was as an athlete. It wasn’t until I was 22 – stepping out of the pool and into the “real” world – that I realized I had no idea who I really was. The thing I wished I had learned was how to bring all that I learned as an athlete with me into this new life instead of leaving it behind when I stopped swimming.
As an adult, I learned more about the way our brains affect every facet of our performance. I began working with student athletes – teaching them the neural tools I’d learned about and developed myself – and I was blown away with the transformations my clients achieved. I knew I needed to expand my work and share these tools with as many athletes as possible. Helping young people develop trust and strength in their own skills is the best part of this job.

Do you feel stuck or have you lost your confidence as an athlete?
As a mental performance coach, I help athletes learn to manage emotions, increase resiliency, develop new perspectives, and ultimately rewire their brains so they can perform at their peak performance as well as enjoy their sport, and life.
I know first-hand the pressure, doubt, judgment, and challenges that come with being a high-level athlete. And because I’ve been there, and I know what’s possible, I believe that every athlete deserves to feel confident and capable. Coaching empowers you with the skills, perspectives, and tools that you need to excel and find joy again.

“I am so grateful to Shannon for providing me with the tools I needed...”
“I started working with Shannon last year when I was unable to hit swim times that I had easily been able to hit in the past. I had a few mental blocks that were keeping me from performing to the level I was capable of. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my time working with her! I am so grateful to Shannon for providing me with the tools I needed to have the best competitive mindset possible. With Shannon's help, I am well equipped to approach my races with much more confidence than before!"
