Mental performance coaching for athletes
An Elite Mindset is key to becoming an elite athlete.
We teach athletes the mental skills necessary to perform their best when it counts the most, giving them a competitive edge.
Peak performance is about more than the scoreboard
Whether on the field, in the pool, or on the court, everything begins and ends with an elite mindset. That big game, match, or meet all starts in your mind.
Want to perform at your best when it counts the most?
Meet Nicole DeNight
A mental game coach who’s in your corner
Nicole has been working with Athletes for the past 25 years. She started her career coaching competitive gymnastics and became a Licensed Sports Massage Therapist. She earned additional certifications in Flexibility, Strength & Conditioning and SAQ. Nicole worked with multiple semi-professional and professional athletes and teams… NY Dragons (Arena Football), NY Power (Women’s Soccer), Rough Riders (Men’s Soccer), LI Lizards (Men’s Lacrosse), NY Islanders (Hockey) and NY Jets (Football). Nicole was a collegiate volleyball player and competed for USA Gymnastics until age 21. She won Ms. Fitness USA 2005 and was ranked 6th in the world that same year. Unfortunately, Nicole’s athletic career ended abruptly with a torn Achilles Tendon and a fractured vertebrae in her neck (that’s a story for another time). Her career as an LMT and Coach eventually came to an end due to debilitating pain and subsequently being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She pursued another career outside of the sports world that wouldn’t be taxing on her body or affected by her RA flare-ups. Missing the sports world terribly, Nicole began working with gymnasts on their mental game. She had personally used visualization, positive self-talk and active imagery in her own athletic career and worked with a Sports Psychologist. Nicole got certified as a Mental Game Coach and built the UNSHAKABLE Mental Edge Training Program that you’re reading about today.
