CrossFit Athlete Mindset
Develop the elite mental skillsets required to compete in CrossFit. Gain an edge over athletes who fault under pressure, get edged out on the podium, and don't have the mental strength to outperform competitors.
CrossFit Athletes Are
One of a Kind.
CrossFit athletes can push through incredibly difficult tasks under very competitive domains… while having so much fun doing it.
They are the highly versatile and adaptive across a very wide range of physical movements.
Their work ethic is second to none & are highly dedicated to perfecting their abilities on a daily basis.
Goal setting is second nature and has become a part of their daily routine while also shaping their priorities.
Athletes thrive on the ability to become resilient across ever-changing workout demands.
They take pride in their overall health and wellness by fueling and recovering to the highest degree.
Competitiveness goes hand-in-hand with community for CrossFit athletes as they recognize their self-preserverance is only one part of their success while unconditional support is the other half.
& so much more!
So if CrossFit athletes have all of these strengths... why would they need a mental performance coach? The answer is simple...
ANALYSIS PARALYSIS.
CrossFit athletes have SO MUCH to think about on daily basis:
Nutrition, MetCons, Skill Work, Recovery, Competition Preparation, Olympic Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Endurance, Working on Weaknesses, Developing Strength, Improving Form, Goal Setting, Periodization, Daily Routines, Time Management, Prioritizing their Schedule... & more!
If athletes are unable to develop the right mindset using specific strategies and routines to manage all of this noise... they end up overthinking & underperforming.
Want to learn how to have the elite mindset over your
competition so you can think & perform at your best?...
My CrossFit Experience as Coach & Athlete.
As a tenured CrossFit coach & athlete, I can honestly say that I have and always will love the sport of CrossFit.
I love that it is not for the weak-minded & for those that thrive on challenging and bettering themselves each and every day.
I am constantly impressed by the athletes in our field pushing the limits, discovering true capabilities, and sharing the love with a worldwide community interested in obtaining tons of the same goals.
I love that you can be so in pain from a workout but once over, reflect and share a laugh about it.
I want to give back to CrossFit by helping provide:
The ability for teen athletes to be able to understand how to handle the pressure that comes with competition and becoming recognized on a larger scale.
More athletes with someone who truly cares for them as a person and can help them achieve their goals by unlocking their true potential.
Reassurance to athletes by guiding them to realize their strengths, appreciate their hard work, develop self confidence, and never stop believing in themselves.

Meet Ashley, Mental Performance Coach & CrossFit Athlete/Coach
I’m Ashley, and I hold a Master’s in Sport Psychology, a Master’s in School Counseling, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a Minor in Coaching Science. I also have been a CrossFitter for the last 8 years, while coaching CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting.
I approach mental performance training from a holistic and hands-on approach to help athletes improve their mindset through applicable strategies based in sport psychology. Consistency and intentional training are key to mastering your mindset & improving your sport performance. Mental training should be prioritized in daily routines in order to develop meaningful habits that when done every day, can make exceptional and substantial changes to your game.
As a life long athlete and CrossFitter,
I have encountered many of the obstacles and experiences that many CrossFit athletes today face. Performance anxiety, low self-confidence, lots of self-doubt, perfectionism, you name it. Truly, know how hard it is to be an athlete and have been through the ups and downs in the process of improving my mindset. In the end, I have learned how to enjoy all of the benefits that being an athlete provides from training my brain.
From my own experience in CrossFit, I can assure you that you can overcome mindset obstacles too by learning right interventions and strategies that work best for you. My knowledge and education in sport psychology & tons of work with athletes have proven that this can work for you.

As athletes, mistakes are inevitable, however, they are also very beneficial. However, mistakes can feel detrimental if you experience negative emotions with those mistakes. Working with me, athletes will learn how to change their perspective on making mistakes and view them as opportunities for growth rather than feeling that they are failing. Unfortunately, a lot of athletes fear failure for this reason, as they do not want to disappoint themselves, their coaches, or their teammates. By focusing on the process of growth rather than the outcome of success vs. failure, athletes can learn to value mistakes as learning experiences. Contact me today if you would like to discuss how I can help learn this highly beneficial mindset skill.
Negative self-talk and perfectionist thinking can be your enemies. It is very helpful to shift your negative self-talk and begin to focus on developing positive and productive thinking.
