Focus Therapy & Performance Coaching

Focus Therapy & Performance Coaching Focus specializes in Sports Psychology Performance Coaching & Mental Health Services The difference between living life, and living life at your optimal level.

What separates the greatest of competitors? Why do some people bounce back from failure stronger than before, while others struggle to get back on track? How are some people able to move on to the next play while others mistakes end up forcing them into new ones? Why are some hurdles harder to get over than others? These may seem like sports related questions, but in reality they can be also be as

ked about life issues. You have goals and a desire to excel but you are in a constant battle in your head with that nagging voice of self-doubt. You feel stuck; like shutting down, quitting, all attempts to avoid feeling the way you do. This inner critic is common, but not helpful in becoming who you want to be. The most successful people and the highest performing athletes have learned to silence their inner critic and focus their mental energy differently. The difference in living life and living life at your optimal level is having the mental edge, the ability to remove the barriers that prevent you from performing to your highest potential. Having a mental edge can be taught, learned, and improved upon. I can help you. At Focus therapy, we work together to identify the barriers that prevent you from performing or living life the way YOU want to, and create a roadmap to help get you to your optimal self.

Here’s a pic from the most recent session with one of the most storied women’s soccer programs in the SEC—University of South Carolina.

We focused on playing under pressure, strengthening connection, and gaining clarity around team roles. They’re holding up their Jenga pieces from one of our activities—such a fun and engaged group to work with!

Big things ahead for this team! ⚽️

Mental toughness isn't just about pushing harder--it's about staying steady when things get uncomfortable. SISU--a powerful mindset rooted in perseverance, grit and teh ability to keep going when you feel like you've got nothing left. It's not about being fearless...it's about showing up anyway!

This is a two part blog about each of those respectively and their similarities and differences. Mental Toughness vs. Mental Resilience – Part I What’s better? Every c...

I want to give a shoutout to the Emporia State Women’s Tennis Team! 🎾

I’ve had the opportunity to work with this group over the past 8 months, focusing on performing under pressure, building confidence, and strengthening attention control.

Through a mix of team sessions and individual work, it’s been incredible to watch their growth—not just as athletes, but as competitors who are learning how to handle the mental side of the game.

Proud of the work they’ve put in and excited to see it continue to show up on the court!

This season I had the opportunity to work the Elkhorn South Boys Basketball program on the mental side of performance. The growth of this group was impressive. After a tough start against outstanding competition, the team responded with a 13-3 stretch, showing what can happen when belief, preparation, and connection come together. What stood out the most was the players’ willingness to learn, reflect and grow through challenges and adversity. Proud of this group and grateful to the players and coaching staff for letting me be part of the journey 🏀🏀

*Season-long Performance Coaching for Teams*

Focus added a new service a year ago designed to provide consistent support from preseason all the way through playoffs. Most college teams have access to a Performance Coach throughout their season so we thought—why not give the same opportunity to High School & Club Teams!

Millard West Soccer started their Season-Long PC this week with a Parent Workshop. This workshop gave an overview of topics as well as tools for parents to help support their athletes, build resilience and mental toughness.

This isn’t a one-time motivational talk.

It’s ongoing mental performance workshops that helps athletes:

✔ Build real, lasting confidence
✔ Strengthen positive and productive self-talk
✔ Learn how to move on quickly from mistakes
✔ Handle pressure in big moments
✔ Stay locked in and resilient all season long

Throughout the season, we tailor individualized workshops to your team’s specific needs — whether that’s bouncing back after a tough loss, overcoming comparison, managing nerves, or stepping into leadership roles.

Let’s Go Wildcats!

It's been a busy start to 2026 with team workshops! Tim spent some time in Sloane, IA with their volleyball team to work on metal toughness 💪 Mental toughness isn't about being "hard" or emotionless. It's about learning how to respond instead of react. It's about knowing how to reset after a mistake or a bad call--and CHOOSING your next play with intention! Strong teams train their skills. Elite teams train their minds 🧠 Best of luck to the girls!
