Why this work matters
Mental training should begin before an athlete is in crisis.
Kelly’s studies led her to research the importance of helping girls develop coping skills earlier in life — particularly as they approach puberty and the teen years.
Her approach is proactive, practical and relevant at every age. Athletes learn to manage pressure, regulate emotions, navigate feedback and build an identity that extends beyond performance.
“The goal isn’t just better performance. It’s helping athletes build skills they can carry into sport, school, relationships and life.”
