For coaches, athletic directors and club directors

Close games get lost in the ten seconds after a mistake.

One error turns into three. The bench goes quiet, and your timeout turns into damage control. Those ten seconds can be trained like any other part of the game. Ashleigh trains them with your whole roster, inside your season, in the words your team already uses.

Three moments your team keeps losing

Every sport has its own version. Here is what each one looks like now, and what your athletes practice instead.

After a mistake

Your best player gives the ball away. Seconds later she has to go again with the error still replaying. Her shoulders drop and the next decision comes late.

What they practiceA reset they build in the session. Recognize the reaction, Release it with one physical action and a breath, then Refocus with a cue phrase for the next play. It fits between whistles.

Before the big game

Warm-ups feel different in the playoffs. The crowd is louder, legs feel heavy, and the routine that carried them all season suddenly feels thin.

What they practiceEach athlete writes a pre-game routine and runs it under pressure in the room, so the version they use in the playoffs has already been tested.

On the bench

The ref makes a bad call. Two players start chirping, the bench tightens up, and the next few minutes go to frustration.

What they practiceShared cue words the whole team agrees on. When your captain says "next play," everyone knows what it means and what to do with it.

Who this is for

Your team, on the same page.

Your athletes get the same tools and the same language for mistakes, nerves and pressure. You post to the team, run the schedule and see who joined.

  • Join code your athletes enter in the app
  • Post to the team and add events
  • Anonymous team readiness each week

A good fit

  • High school, club and college teams with a season on the calendar
  • Coaches who want the mental side trained at practice, the same way skills are
  • Athletic directors who want one shared approach across several teams
  • Staff willing to use the team's cue words between sessions

Not the right fit

  • You want one motivational talk for a banquet or camp. That is the keynote.
  • One athlete needs individual work. That is 1:1 sessions.
  • An athlete is dealing with a mental health concern. That calls for a licensed clinician. The SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) is free, confidential and open 24/7 for finding care. In a crisis, call or text 988.
What you see

See the team. Not the diary.

Coaches and directors see team-level numbers and the schedule. Athletes keep journals and check-ins private, so they answer honestly.

Questions coaches ask

FAQ

The season program is $120 per athlete for eight 30-minute sessions. You see the exact price in writing before anything is booked.

Each session is 30 minutes and fits inside a practice. Between sessions, athletes run a routine that takes seconds to a few minutes. Sessions are planned around your schedule, not the other way around.

No. This is mental skills training for performance: routines, focus, pressure and how a team talks to itself. It does not diagnose or treat anything. If an athlete shows signs of a clinical concern, Ashleigh refers them to a licensed mental health professional.

Parents hear what the team is working on, so the message at home matches practice. You can add a parent night to any season.

The skills are the same across sports. The examples, cue words and pressure reps are built around yours, using your staff's language.

Take the free Team Mental Game Check. It takes a few minutes and shows where your team is losing games and what to train first. You can also send the inquiry form and pick "just exploring."
