About the Author

In my 20+ years within youth sports, I've worn various hats: coach, mentor, educator, and administrator. Through this journey, I've witnessed the diverse struggles and triumphs of young athletes, shaping my understanding of their challenges.

My coaching philosophy extends beyond skills to character and mindset development. This holistic approach stems from personal experiences and professional training in leadership.

Recognizing the mental aspect's significance in sports, I pursued further education in sports psychology. This journey led me to the transformative power of self-care. It's not a luxury but a vital component for athletes' holistic well-being, encompassing rest, nutrition, and mental practices.

Inspired by these revelations, I crafted "The Secret Sauce," a program aimed at empowering youth athletes through self-care. Central to this program is "The Battle Plan," a practical framework facilitating goal management and journaling.

Through books, e-platforms, and personal coaching, "The Secret Sauce" provides accessible tools to nurture athletes' physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This book serves as an introduction to the program, sharing insights and anecdotes to inspire readers on their journey of self-discovery.

Join me as we unlock the potential within young athletes and empower them to thrive in sports and life.
