IF you want your life to be different, you have to be willing to do something different first.

"Hope is simply amazing. She is organized, dedicated, and determined. She is thoughtful in working with student-athletes and a master of her craft. She is so driven to help young athletes with confidence and self-talk and did an amazing job with our lacrosse program. I'm excited to watch Hope excel in helping more and more athletes and empowering them to be the best version of themselves every single day."

Through working with Hope on my mental game, I have been able to develop skills and personalized routines to help me stay grounded in the moment, learn from my mistakes but not dwell on them, and cope with stress both inside and outside the water. I learned the importance of tracking and recognizing small goals and achievements along the way. Through developing myself mentally, my confidence has increased exponentially, changing the way I play water polo and redefining my view of myself as both an athlete and an individual. Working with Hope has given me multiple tools and a mindset that are helping me to adapt, overcome, and thrive as a collegiate athlete. 

I thought it was really important to have a reason and a why behind why you play. I thought it was also important to share with your teammates how you respond to criticism when you get in your head and how you would want your teammates to respond to it.
