Confidence Changes Everything
You love watching your child play the sport they’re passionate about — but lately, it’s been hard. You see them second-guessing themselves, struggling after mistakes, or comparing themselves to teammates. You know how much potential they have, yet you can feel their confidence slipping.
And as a parent, that’s one of the hardest things to experience. Because you’d give anything to take away the self-doubt, the pressure, the discouragement — but you’re not always sure what to say or how to help.That’s exactly why Confident Sports exists.
This isn’t just about developing your athlete’s mental toughness — it’s about giving you peace of mind, too. The strategies and tools your athlete will learn through my program are designed not only to unlock their athletic potential, but also to teach resilience and valuable life lessons they can carry beyond the sport. Whether it’s managing the stress of school, excelling in extracurriculars, mastering a new skill, or navigating relationships, these mental tools will support them for years to come. When your child learns how to manage emotions, reframe negative thoughts, and truly believe in themselves, you no longer have to carry the frustration of feeling helpless in the stands. You’ll know they have a trusted partner helping them build the tools, confidence, and inner strength to handle whatever the game — or life — throws their way.
You don’t have to do this alone. Parenting is hard.
Sports parenting can feel even harder — full of chaos, opinions, pressure, and those moments that make you question if you’re doing the right thing.Confident Sports is here to walk alongside you, helping your athlete build self-belief and resilience, and helping you feel confident that you’re giving them exactly what they need to thrive — not just in their sport, but in who they’re becoming. Because the real win isn’t just in their performance.
It’s in the quiet relief you’ll feel knowing your child believes in themselves again — and that you believed in them enough to make that possible. -

About Rachel
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 young athletes to bounce back quickly and achieve lasting success.
If your child is struggling with confidence, there is hope and there is help. 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.
