Silver Coaching Program
The Gold Program gives you the benefit of working one-on-one with Andi in field sessions where you will learn to apply the mental skills discussed in your coaching sessions. Like any other skill, mental skills must also be practiced. These sessions allow you the opportunity to get mental repetitions in your physical practice to make the transfer to competition more fluid.

Mental performance coaching might be for you if you practice better than you play. Maybe you lack confidence or you lose focus due to mistakes and people in the stands. When pressure increases, you need to learn how to trust yourself and believe in your ability. Mental coaching can give you the edge you need to balance your focus and navigate the perfectionistic tendencies that hold you back.

Mental coaching is also valuable for parents in navigating how to best support their kids through their athletic journey. It gives parents tools to understand how to encourage confidence, manage pressure, and handle the ups and downs of competition. With the right strategies, parents can create a positive environment that helps their athlete thrive both on and off the field.

Team seminars are designed to strengthen teamwork, build group cohesion, and improve communication. Seminars begin with a consultation with the coach captains to identify underlying challenges. From there, all team members complete a questionnaire to provide input and perspectives. The sessions are then tailored to help the team address its most pressing issues and work together more effectively.
Confidence in Action: Athlete Stories
Ava Merkel, FC Pride ECNL:
From my years training with Andi I have learned a lot. She has obviously helped me get better as a player. She helps me with footwork, touches, passing, through balls, balls out of the air, pretty much all of the above, but she has also always been there for me. Not just physically but mentally. She always knows when I get frustrated and makes me take a break or just a breath to calm me down. She can tell when something is bothering me and helps me talk about what is on my mind. She has always been someone that I can rely on if I am feeling stressed or worried.
She has made my mental game for soccer so much better. I used to be very nervous on the ball and I would never take people on because I did not have enough confidence. She has made me face that problem and helped me be more confident on the ball. We did several drills just to fix it and we also talked about it. Andi has also given me constant encouragement and helped me believe in myself. She has shown me that I can do a lot more than what I think I can.
Nyah Migal, Radford University:
Andi has been such an incredible trainer for me over the past few years. She not only cares about me as a soccer player but also me as a person. Her training sessions go beyond just the drills, she truly cares about helping me grow not only as a player but as a person. FX has given me the tools to become more resilient, it is such a wonderful environment and it all starts with Andi. She truly dedicates her time and heart into each and every athlete. She knows exactly how to challenge me, encourage me, and keep me focused even then things are tough.
Andi has taught me a lot about the mental aspect of the game. I’m a very in my head person and she has had such a big impact on me getting out of my head and just playing. Somehow, she always knows how to get me to take a breath, reset and continue. She’s not just there helping me with my skills but helping me build confidence and truly believe in myself. I am incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with such a talented person!
Taylor Spiller, SIUE, Paro FC:
I have been training with Andi for 7 years, in which she has coached me as a high school, college, and professional athlete in team, group, and individual settings. In each setting Andi has a way of coaching the person, not just the player; understanding what the athlete might need and when, when to push and when to give a break, when to stop and make a coaching point and when to let the athlete work through it. The timing and choices of all of this, paired with her ability to connect with her athletes as people, create a lasting mental impact that makes us stronger and more confident on and off the field.
We make a mistake? If it’s a funny one, laugh about it. If it’s a frustrating one that keeps persisting, let’s take a breath and talk through it to understand why it’s happening and how to fix it. Questions aren’t met with straight answers most of the time, they invite conversations. In doing this, Andi gives her athletes autonomy and onus in their training, while supporting them every step of the way. For me, this has allowed me to understand what I need, want, and like in training, and grow into someone that is confident in various different settings.
Morgan Baker, Kenyon College:
Andi helped me through some of the toughest times in my soccer career. She has the ability to keep you accountable, while not deterring you from making mistakes. She is willing to listen to your struggles that come outside of soccer to make you feel lighter in training. I always found that I played better when my confidence is higher and I know I can make mistakes and those not be the focus of my overall performance. Andi has helped these lessons come easier to me and guiding me to become the best player I can be.
Mia Stevens, The Ohio State University:
I tend to get in my own head when things don’t go as planned. I struggle to move on and forget about my mistakes. Andi helps me shift my focus. Instead of getting stuck on what already happened, I work on improving my next rep and remembering that I am capable of making a better pass or shot the next time.
Elizabeth Pierce, Ohio Northern University:
The training provided by Coach Andi encouraged me to be a very well rounded athlete. As all athletes strive for greatness, Andi ensured that you were always happy with your performance. Writing down goals at the beginning of summer creates focus to achieve and also mindfulness that you are always working towards something. The training provided by Coach Andi provides confidence. With her well rounded training sessions of lifting, fitness, and technique, you become comfortable in all aspects of your sport. This allows you to be confident when you step into a game environment. Coach Andi will provide specifics for each individual athlete to ensure each athlete benefits from one of her training sessions. She is very knowledgeable on not only how to perform to your highest potential, but also to enjoy the ride while doing it.
