I will be your mental performance coach for sports
About this Gig
Your body is ready. Your mind is what's holding you back.
I help athletes who freeze under pressure, spiral after one mistake, lose confidence after a bad game, or overthink until the moment's gone. If you've ever been great in practice and tight in the game, this is for you.
I'm Mike Kelley, a Mental Performance Coach certified through Brian Cain's Mental Performance Mastery program (the same framework used with elite and professional athletes) and a former college baseball player. I've coached thousands of one-on-one sessions, and I help athletes turn the mental game into their advantage.
What we work on:
- Staying calm and executing under pressure
- Resetting fast after mistakes instead of spiraling
- Building confidence that holds up in real games, not just practice
- Quieting the overthinking and playing free
- Handling nerves before big moments
You'll leave with real tools you can use at your next practice or game, not vague motivation.
Feel free to message me before ordering if you'd like help in pointing you to the right option for your sport and situation.

FAQ
How are sessions held?
Sessions are held over Zoom. After you order, I'll send a link to schedule at a time that works for you.
How do we schedule?
Once your order is confirmed, I'll share my scheduling link (Calendly) so you can pick a time based on availability. Message me first if you want to confirm a fit or specific day/time before ordering.
Do you guarantee results?
I don't believe in empty guarantees. What I guarantee is real, personalized coaching and a clear plan you can act on. The more you put in, the more you get out. If the work stops when the call ends, you'll see less change than someone who applies it consistently between sessions. Effort matters.
Is this therapy or counseling?
No. This is coaching focused on mindset and mental performance, helping you build confidence, focus, and consistency. It is not therapy, counseling, or medical treatment.
Do I need to be an athlete?
Not at all. I work with athletes, but the same tools, handling pressure, quieting overthinking, building confidence and consistency, apply just as well to professionals and anyone performing at a high level.
Should I message you before ordering?
Yes, I recommend it. A quick message about your goals helps me point you to the right package and make sure it's a good fit.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Everything we discuss stays private and confidential.
What's your background?
I'm a Mental Performance and Mindset Coach certified through Brian Cain's Mental Performance Mastery program and the Jay Shetty Certification School, with training in NLP, meditation, and somatic practices. I'm a former college athlete with thousands of one-on-one coaching sessions behind me.
What time zone are you in?
I'm in Arizona (Mountain Standard Time year-round, since AZ doesn't observe daylight saving). In spring and summer that lines up with PST (Pacific time), and in fall and winter it's MST (Mountain time. Don't worry about the math, just tell me your time zone when we schedule and I will work with you.
