Self-paced training on the mental skills that actually show up in competition: self-talk, visualization, emotional resets, and routines.
Best for self-motivated athletes who want to train on their own schedule.
Season-long mental skills programs for teams. Group workshops that build a shared language around pressure, focus, and composure.
Best for teams building a shared performance culture across a roster.
Ebooks, audio exercises, and workbooks designed for athletes — not therapy clients. Tools you can use in the car before a game.
Best for athletes who want something they can use tonight.
Perform great in practice but tighten up in games
Can’t shake a bad play and it snowballs
Lose confidence after mistakes or benchings
Feel nerves before big games and don’t know what to do with them
Want a structured mental skills routine, not just “be confident”
Are coming back from injury and don’t trust their body yet
If any of those sound familiar, the platform was built for you.
17 courses covering the mental skills that show up in real competition. Each includes learn, reflect, and practice lessons with pre/post assessments.
Yale Lewis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and certified mental performance coach specializing in hockey and high-performance athletics. Based in Basalt, Colorado, working with athletes from youth leagues through the professional level on the mental skills that show up in real competition — not just in theory.
Every athlete has a moment where the physical training is there but something else gets in the way. Yale's coaching builds the architecture underneath performance: visualization systems, focus protocols, and competitive routines that hold up when the game is on the line.
“Before working with Yale, I would shut down after a bad first half. Now I have a specific reset routine — three breaths, one cue word, refocus on the next play. Started three straight playoff games because my coach saw I could recover in-game.”
High School Soccer Player
“The visualization protocol changed my free throw routine completely. My percentage went up 12% in one season. It's not magic — it's reps, just mental ones.”
College Basketball Player
“After a bad shift I used to sit on the bench replaying it the rest of the period. Yale taught me a between-shift reset that actually clears it. My coach noticed — said I was competing harder in the third period than I ever had.”
AAA Hockey Player
“My daughter used to come home from games frustrated and quiet. Now she debriefs on her own — talks about what she noticed, what she wants to adjust. Her club coach started asking her to lead the post-game huddle. That shift came from working with Yale.”
Youth Athlete Parent
No. Mental performance coaching focuses on building competitive skills — focus, composure, visualization, routines. Yale is a Licensed Professional Counselor, which means the clinical knowledge is there, but the work is performance-oriented, not therapeutic.
Youth through professional. The course library includes a dedicated Youth Athlete Development track with age-appropriate exercises. Most 1-on-1 clients are high school and college athletes.
No. All courses and tools are available online. 1-on-1 sessions are conducted via video call — same quality, no travel required.
Structure and accountability. The platform tracks your progress, gives you assessments to measure growth, and connects your mental skills work directly to a coach who reviews it. Passive information doesn’t change behavior — deliberate practice does.
Yes. Parents get a dedicated portal to follow their athlete’s progress, plus a full course on how to support the mental game from home — including what to say (and not say) after tough games.
