The part of the game you can't see
I'm a mental strength and leadership coach and the founder of The Athlete Check, an IronMind company. I help athletes stay locked in when the game gets loud, bounce back fast from a bad play, build confidence they can count on, and lead the people around them.
I compete too. I've finished ten Ironman races, raced the XTERRA World Championship, and beat Stage 3 cancer along the way. I know what it takes to keep going when your body and your mind both want to stop.
