VIDA Mindset & Performance

VIDA Mindset & Performance OPPORTUNITIES:

One-on-One Sessions

Team/Group Workshops

Athletes and performers work with me to hone and develop mental skills such as increasing confidence, purposeful goal setting, effective self-talk, establishing pre-performance routines, and overcoming performance anxiety.

Team/Group Workshops

I offer team building sessions and workshops for sports teams, as well as teams of co-workers. I can tailor a program to help your team perform more cohesively and effectively.

Coaching Support

Coaches can benefit from having their own coach, too! I work with coaches to help them create positive, motivational, and caring climates, which have been proven to help teams be more successful.

Parent Training

Coaching Support

Parents are an important part of the support team for athletes. I offer sessions with parents to help them parent their athletes, especially those athletes who may be struggling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Please contact me at coachswatek@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What types of clients do you work with?

I work with clients of all ages who are committed to the process of learning mental skills and then learning how to apply them. The clients who see the biggest impact are the clients who fully commit to the process.

What sets you apart from other Sport Psychology consultants?

In addition to my background in psychology, my experience as an educator sets me apart from other consultants. I believe that setting a foundation by learning about mental skills is paramount. We spend a few sessions learning mental skills which creates the opportunity to apply those skills at a deeper level. I believe that true change comes not just from setting goals, but from understanding the WHY about our behavior and how to make impactful changes. I also bring a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to every coaching session, plus we will have FUN!

What is the difference between a Sport Psychology session and therapy?

While both sport psychology consultants and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on addressing mental health issues, while sport psychology consultants focus on helping individuals set and achieve their goals and reach peak performance.

What kind of commitment do I need to make?

When an athlete commits to improve their mental game by working with me, the minimum commitment is for 5 sessions. Those first 5 sessions set the groundwork for learning and applying mental skills. The timing of your sessions will be discussed in your Introductory Session.

Topics for Sessions 1-5: How our thoughts affect our performance, Handling Mistakes, Effective Self-Talk, Building Confidence, Goal Setting

Topics for Sessions 6 and beyond will be determined by assessing the needs of the client and the progress that has been made during the first 5 sessions.

How long does a session last?

Regular sessions last 50 minutes. The frequency of sessions can vary depending on the needs of the client, but new clients should plan to meet weekly for the first 5 sessions.

How do I get started?

The first step is to schedule a free 30 minute introductory session that will be held via Zoom. In that session, we will get an idea of how we can work together and what our next steps should be from there. If the client is a minor, a parent or guardian must attend the Zoom session with the athlete.
