Athletic trainers

Refer an Athlete

You've done the rehab. The athlete still doesn't trust the knee, or has stopped caring whether they get back. That part is trainable, and you don't have to be the one to train it.

How it works

The Athlete Books. You Stay in the Loop.

  1. Talk to the athlete first. Tell them what you've noticed and that this is skills training, like rehab for the mental side. If they're under 18, loop in a parent or guardian.
  2. Send them the link. Copy the message below into a text or email. The athlete, or their parent, books a free call with Ashleigh.
  3. Tell us you sent someone. Use the form so Ashleigh knows who to follow up with. Leave the athlete's name out of it.
Message to send the athlete
I think talking with a mental performance coach would help with your comeback. It's skills training for the mental side of getting back, not therapy. Ashleigh Carpentier at Top Tier Performance works with injured athletes, and the first call is free: https://app.toptier-perform.com/sessions

Ashleigh replies within 2 to 3 business days.

Some Things Need a Clinician, Not a Coach

Mental performance coaching is not mental health care. If an athlete seems depressed or hopeless, has panic or trauma symptoms, or you're worried about eating or substance use, refer to a licensed mental health professional through your team physician or school counselor. To find one, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357. If an athlete talks about harming themselves, stay with them and follow your emergency action plan. In the US, call or text 988 any time, day or night.
