why MEntal Coaching?

“That’s why I started this service — to give student-athletes the tools and the resources they need to thrive. From my own experiences, I truly believe that success isn’t just about talent. It’s about the process. It’s about your values. It’s about coaches and teachers developing the whole-athlete, not just teaching how to win or how to get a 4.0 GPA.

Every athlete deserves the opportunity to reach their goals. Whether that’s to play at a Division I school or to make their varsity team. With the right support and a little guidance, I believe that everyone can find their version of what success means.”

— Anne-Marie Farmer, Founder of PowerPlay Performance Coaching

Individualized support

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We get to know you as a student and athlete and customize our coaching and tutoring services based on your individual strengths, challenges, and goals. Whether you struggle with keeping up with your assignments, being confident, managing your time, or game-day nerves, we design specific training programs to fit your personality, academic needs, and sport-specific challenges.

Flexible scheduling

We understand the demands of student-athletes. We know the long hours you put in at practice so we are committed to working around your busy schedules. Appointments are available in the evenings and weekends in our office, on the court, at a coffee shop, or in the comfort of your own home. Can’t make it in-person? No worries — we’ve got you covered with virtual sessions.
