About Lindsey
After two decades coaching competitive volleyball at every level, I kept seeing the same thing: athletes with real ability who couldn't access it when it mattered most. Not because they weren't talented. Because no one had ever taught them how to manage their mind under pressure.
I became a certified mental performance coach because I wanted to give athletes the tools I wished I'd had — and that I wished I'd been able to offer my players earlier. The work is structured, repeatable, and it compounds. Mental skills are trainable, just like physical ones.
I also know what it's like to be a parent watching your athlete struggle and not knowing how to help without making it worse. That's why parents aren't an afterthought at EMT — you're an essential part of this process.

How I Work
Mental performance coaching and therapy are different things. EMT works in the space of performance optimization — building skills, not treating clinical conditions. When something belongs with a licensed professional, I'll say so and help you find the right person.
You didn't cause this, and you're not in the way. The most effective mental performance work happens when athletes and parents are learning together. I'll keep you informed and give you tools to support your athlete at home.
Sessions aren't motivational talks. We build specific skills — composure under pressure, mistake recovery, pre-competition routines — and we practice them the same way you'd practice a physical skill. You'll see the difference.
A Performance Strategy Session is the first step — a focused conversation with no pressure and a clear next step.
