Ellen’s coaching has helped me develop mental toughness — not just in my sport, but also in all areas of life. I’ve learned how to respond to stressful situations, Perform under pressure, and direct my focus so I can improve myself every day. Thanks to her, I transformed my skiing career from a World Rank in the low 30sand an ACL tear to a World Rank of #4 and my first Olympic Games. More importantly, Ellen’s mental coaching has been absolutely crucial in helping me become a better friend, daughter, and human being!
