Meet Andrew
I was in your shoes. I grew up playing competitive soccer and went on to play Division I at Columbia University. The pressure is real. I would get so nervous before games that it made it difficult to play. I felt exhausted before the game even started. I focused on the other team and how good they were. My legs felt tight and my breathing was restricted. I didn't know it at the time, but all of these were symptoms of performance anxiety.
Through my training as a mental health counselor and my experience as a Division I athlete, I have discovered effective strategies for playing with less fear, more confidence and a mindset that embraces challenges.
You don't start playing a sport and dedicate countless hours to it in the hopes that you don't make a mistake. You do it because you love it, because you have an inner drive to improve...to succeed. I want to help you reconnect with that passion and enjoy your sport again!

Whole Athlete Approach
An athlete's performance is only the tip of the iceberg - the part that we all get to see. There is much more underneath to them as an athlete and as a person. Cultivating balance in an athlete's life is critical to their athletic success (performance) and their general well being. Many athletes believe that their sport is who they are and, therefore, their performance has a direct effect on their self-esteem. Peak performance is achieved when an athlete is freed from this expectation. Finding balance allows the athlete to see that their sport is what they do, not who they are. It can be a big part of their identity, but is not all they are. We help athletes cultivate a sense of balance in their lives and a sense of purpose in their athletic pursuits.
