About me

About Rachel Olson, Owner of Confident Sports

Confident Sports was born from my own journey as a former collegiate volleyball player who faced mental barriers that hindered my performance. Transitioning from high school to college athletics, I encountered intense pressure and self-doubt, ultimately leading me to quit my college team. The fear of failure that developed from this experience not only held me back in sports but also limited opportunities in other areas of my life at that time.

As a parent of elite athletes in Division 1 programs, I’ve witnessed firsthand the struggles of watching your child battle with confidence, pressure, and negative mindsets. I know the helplessness of seeing them lose belief in themselves, face difficult coaching, and feel overwhelmed. This personal experience—both as an athlete and a parent—led me to create Confident Sports, a program designed to support athletes and parents through these challenges.

As a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach™ and Performance Visualization Specialist™, I teach athletes how to build confidence, manage pressure, and break through mental blocks. My coaching focuses on practical mental training designed to support athletes in reducing anxiety, managing pressure, and navigating challenges, which can help them perform at their best and work towards reaching their full potential.

I also work with parents, offering sessions to help them understand and support the mental skills their athletes are developing. Together, we create a partnership that empowers teen athletes to bounce back quickly and achieve lasting success.

If your child is struggling with confidence, there is hope and professional support available. Let’s work together to transform their mindset and unlock the full potential and help them achieve the success they deserve. Start the journey with Confident Sports today and turn their dreams into reality.
