READ WHAT SOME OF OUR ATHLETES HAVE TO SAY....
"Ever since I started mental coaching, I’ve seen my dancing improve tremendously. I’ve felt a lot more confident and strong while dancing in class or on stage. My performances have been a lot less stressful so I am able to focus on my technique rather than being nervous. Before mental coaching, I was constantly getting frustrated with myself & overthinking. I have grown so much & I am so thankful for Emily and everything that she has done for me."
— Izzy K.
“Working with Mrs. Emily this past year at Champion Mindset Consulting has been a game changer for my physical and mental performance as a dancer. I came in feeling unsure of my capabilities as a dancer and less confident in myself, but I came out more confident and mentally stronger than ever. Thank you Mrs. Emily at CMC for helping me reach where I am now!”
— Bella M.
"Mental performance coaching has made me feel more confident about my body before going on stage & during my performance. Mrs. Emily has taught me a lot about how to calm down my negative nerves & anxiety so that I can concentrate on my dancing. Because of my mental skills I now know how to create a personalized pre-performance ritual that genuinely helps me mentally prepare."
-- Betty P.
“I’ve been working with Mrs. Emily at Champion Mindset for two years. Mental performance coaching has helped me calm my nerves backstage before I perform as well, as before auditions, and keeping me focused inside & outside of the studio. A few things I accomplished, is that I placed 2nd in the senior classical division at YAGP Dallas (2025) receiving multiple scholarship offers this year & I am a National Young Arts Winner. I am so grateful for everything I have learned & love working with Mrs. Emily so much!”
— Avery S.
"My daughter has been working with Ms. Emily for about a year now. It has been the best experience. She has learned so many important skills and techniques to help her be a more confident gymnast and how to handle the pressure of her sport in the gym and in competition. Not only does Ms. Emily give her tools for success, she also helps her work through any doubt, fear, frustration or challenge she encounters along the way, coming up with solutions and real life strategies. We couldn’t imagine navigating this crazy gymnastics life without her!"
--- Mila M. (mom)

— Lacie S.
“Emily has made such a positive impact on me mentally. From the basic exercises and talking through thoughts and ideas, I have more control over my inner thoughts resulting in better dancing. Emily takes the time to discuss details that happened during the week and gives out great ideas to me to solve any hiccups I’ve had during the week, helping me learn how to map my way through things when something can be mentally challenging. I appreciate all the time Emily has dedicated to me and making me a mentally stronger person.”
— Keagan P.

The exercises provided through Mental Performance Coaching are not only helpful when it comes to the pressures of training and performance but also very helpful during day to day life.”

Thank you Mrs. Emily for being such an important part of my dance journey.”

“Since starting mental performance coaching with Ms. Emily, I have been able to more efficiently and productively achieve my goals and pursue my dream of becoming a professional dancer. I never knew the impact coaching the mind could have on my dance performance. Using tools and strategies given to me during our time together, I am able to be more intentional and focused in my dance training. In competition and performance settings, I have a clear plan to approach my performance present, focused, prepared, and calm. Working with Ms. Emily has helped me learn mental skills and create a positive mindset that enables me to become a better dancer.”

"Mental coaching has helped me trust myself and believe in my abilities! I am able to calm my nerves before and during meets, and I don't shake on beam anymore!! When something doesn't go my way, I can always turn the situation around. I could not have asked for a better mental coaching experience. Emily has been one of my biggest cheerleaders, and has supported me from day one. I went from missing my second season of level ten with an broken ankle, and struggling badly with my mindset, to consistently nailing my routines and achieving one of my biggest goals: getting sixth place in the all around at Nationals! I would not be where I am today without Champion Mindset Academy."
— Daelin D.
"Mental training has helped me drastically. I have learned how to control my emotions with different personalized techniques that help me stay calm and collected. Learning time-management and scheduling is another thing that has helped me. It keeps me organized and stress-free when I have a lot on my mind. I am able to find the good in the bad days that I experience, and I don't get down on myself when I have a rough day. Learning how to use imagery and visualization has helped me stay calm and remember that I know what to do in situations, instead of thinking that everything could go wrong. I now feel motivation to keep striving to the top and look forward to what the future has to bring!"
— Abi W.
“Mental performance coaching has helped me a lot with backstage prep before I compete my solos. I used to get really nervous before I competed and sometimes I would allow my nerves to completely take over. I’m always excited when I get to perform, and I’ve always felt that way, but before my mental coaching I would get really overwhelmed & I felt like it was hard to find moments where I could really just enjoy what I was doing. I learned that the mental aspect of dance is just as important as the physical one and thanks to Mrs. Emily and Champion Mindset I am able to perform to the best of my ability while still being able to really just enjoy the performance.”
— Caroline L.
"So helpful, not only have I become more confident in my dancing, i feel more confident as a person. My consistency in my performances has increased so much after I have worked with Ms Emily. She’s truly incredible and the sweetest person ever!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻"
— Angelina T.
“I think every dancer should look into mental performance coaching because it can enhance your performance and make you your most confident self, both on and off stage. Mrs. Emily has helped me with not only my mental health, but also going through each one of my variations & making sure that each step has a purpose and that when I get on stage all I need to do is just have fun. And I feel like I’ve grown tremendously over the past year of using Champion Mindset and I can’t wait to keep learning!”

“Emily has worked with my daughter for a little over a year and has created a wonderful relationship with her! My daughter is a ballet dancer and struggles with confidence and perfectionism that has at times inhibited her growth as a dancer.

My daughter has felt tremendously comfortable with her and she has served as a grounding force and sounding board for her. We are so grateful to work with her!”

"As a competitive athlete, the physical aspect of my sport had always been very hard and difficult to deal with. But, when it comes to my mental health, it’s even tougher. Mrs. Emily has helped me work through so much not just physical problems, but mindsets and mental strength. She creates a plan specifically for each individual to help you deal with any problems or challenges you’re going through. She is very easy to talk to, understanding of what you’re going through, and fully dedicated to helping you. I would not be the strong minded woman I am now if not for Mrs Emily and her support."

She has come so far in terms of confidence and mental toughness since she began her athlete mental coaching journey!

I highly recommend Champion Mindset Consulting for any athlete - not just those struggling - to help them reach their full potential."

"I'm on the National Olympic Karate Team for my home country Guatemala, and my dream is to attend the Olympic Games. Not long ago, I was struggling to perform well, and was having internal battles that made it really difficult for me to fight and achieve the results I wanted. I found Emily and told her about my situation and she told me she could help me out. Accepting her offer was definitely one of the best decisions I've made in my life. With Emily's mental training program, I can now see the things that are not ideal in my mind, and develop strategies to overcome the obstacles inside my head. All of the things I've learned so far with Emily have made a huge change in my performances. I have had much better outcomes in tournaments and have learned to enjoy my sport and competing even more. You have to be right in your mental game to be successful in anything you do in life. I'm excited to keep working with Emily, as I feel I'm overcoming obstacles more often and getting better and better every time."
