-Satisfied Golfer


"For many years, I've struggled with in tournament play. I've always found myself playing with a lot of tension, which never allowed me to play to my ability until I started working with Natalie. She has given me skills and techniques to use while playing in tournaments. I found myself playing some of my best tournament golf this past year while working with her"

- Kyle B


"I played a live round of golf with Natalie. This was real-time, raw, situational golf, complete with very common ups and downs…moments of stardom coupled with moments of true frustration. Before this experience, I have heard…not necessarily believed, that mind/thought interference can overwhelm any inherent athletic talent ... From her, that day, during the round, I learned things about myself that I may have known but never believed…commit, trust your abilities, focus and re-focus, the good golfer is in you…that last bad shot is not the new permanent you. If you’re wondering what a live round with Natalie might do for your relationship with the golfer n you…stop wondering and go find out"

-Gian-Paul P.




Athletes often focus on physical training, but developing mental skills is equally important for achieving peak performance. Cultivating an inner coach can help athletes navigate the highs and lows of their sports careers with resilience and grace.


Here are five crucial steps to developing inner coach skills: patience, encouragement, motivation, confidence, and control.


1. Patience: Understanding the Journey

Patience is the cornerstone of any successful athlete's mindset. The path to excellence is rarely a straight line; it involves setbacks, plateaus, and gradual progress. An inner coach must remind athletes to stay patient and trust the process. This involves setting realistic goals, celebrating small victories, and understanding that improvement takes time. By embracing patience, athletes can reduce frustration and avoid burnout, making the journey more enjoyable and sustainable.


2. Encouragement: Building a Positive Inner Dialogue

Encouragement plays a vital role in fostering a positive mindset. An inner coach should constantly offer words of affirmation and support, especially during challenging times. This involves replacing negative self-talk with constructive and uplifting messages. For instance, instead of thinking, "I can't do this," an athlete should learn to say, "I am improving and getting closer to my goal." Positive self-talk can enhance self-esteem and build a resilient mental framework that withstands adversity.


3. Motivation: Fueling the Inner Drive

Motivation is the engine that keeps athletes moving forward, even when obstacles arise. An effective inner coach helps athletes identify their personal "why" – the deep-rooted reasons behind their dedication to the sport. Whether it's the thrill of competition, personal improvement, or the desire to inspire others, understanding these intrinsic motivations can reignite an athlete's passion during tough times. Additionally, setting both short-term and long-term goals can provide a roadmap that keeps motivation high and focused.


4. Confidence: Believing in Abilities

Confidence is essential for peak performance, and it can be cultivated through consistent practice and mental conditioning. An inner coach encourages athletes to focus on their strengths and past successes rather than dwelling on failures. Visualization techniques, where athletes mentally rehearse successful performances, can also boost confidence. By reinforcing a belief in their abilities, athletes are more likely to take risks, push their limits, and perform under pressure.


5. Control: Mastering Emotional and Mental States

Control over one's emotions and mental state is crucial for maintaining focus and composure during competition. An inner coach teaches athletes to recognize and manage stress, anxiety, and distractions. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises can help athletes stay centered and perform optimally. By developing emotional and mental control, athletes can maintain clarity and make better decisions, even in high-pressure situations.


In conclusion, developing inner coach skills is a multifaceted process that involves patience, encouragement, motivation, confidence, and control. By nurturing these qualities, athletes can build a robust mental framework that supports their physical training and enhances overall performance. Embracing these steps not only contributes to athletic success but also promotes personal growth and well-being.

Resilience is the cornerstone of enduring success.

The journey of an athlete is fraught with setbacks and obstacles, and it’s your inner coach that determines how you respond.

Exposing yourself to challenging situations will give you optimal opportunity to learn how you respond to pressure and finding ways that help you decrease your anxiety and pressures.
