Uplevel Your Performance and Win the Mental Game in Life & Sports
I'm a Mindset & Empowerment Coach,
helping student-athletes uplevel their performance, build mental resiliency, and play at the collegiate level.
My Personalized Life Coaching Programs are for you if:
- Your kid has a dream. They want to play at the collegiate level. They are all in.
They work hard and are committed, but you want to ensure it's enough. - You want to support them in achieving their dream of playing their sport in college, but there is a lot to it. You are busy with work, family, competitions, travel and you would like them to have the personal support they deserve.
- You know it would be helpful to have someone outside of family, friends, and their sports coaches, to support as a person and an athlete, ensuring they stay on track mentally, emotionally, and physically, to ensure they have the confidence and mindset to perform under pressure and handle the demands of being a student-athlete.
- You want your student-athlete to have the tools, structure, and support to be ready to play their sport in college.
- It's more than a dream for you and them. You know it can happen and are ready to make it happen.
Choose Which Program is Best for Your Athlete
Your young athlete has lost their mojo and needs to get it back in order to play at the level they desire.
Your elite athlete is on the team, but fear and distractions are getting the best of them.
Your son or daughter is a freshman or sophomore and wants to begin the college recruitment process.
Your child's athletic career is ending or has ended and you would like them to have support moving forward.
How Does it Work?
Once you decide which program you are interested in, schedule a Free Discovery Call by clicking on the link below. From there, you will be led to my calendar to choose a day and time to meet via Teams or on the phone.
Once you choose a day and time, you will be prompted to answer a few questions to give me more information about your child's circumstance. This information allows me to be prepared for our call together.
On the call, you will share more about what's going on with your child and I will share more about me, my programs, and the work that I do. Together, we will decide if it's a good fit for your child.
Next, I meet your child. This happens during our call, however, you step away to give us private time to talk and to get to know each other. If we both feel it's a good fit to work together, then we move forward to contract, payment, and scheduling.
Hi! I'm Mary Lynne
I am a Mindset & Empowerment Coach for Student-Athletes.
My journey as a competitive athlete started at seven years old. I was a competitive swimmer until I was 12, then moved into soccer, volleyball, and track in junior high and high school. I was a starter and a top athlete. I dreamed of playing soccer in college. But that dream never happened. Looking back, I can understand why. My mental-emotional game wasn't supporting my physical game. As a former middle school teacher and athletic coach, I saw the same happen to many students and athletes I worked with.
As a Certified Life Coach with a Master's Degree in Education, an Amazon best-selling author, and a dynamic speaker, I help athletes, ages 9 -26, uplevel their performance in sports, school, and life. I've been doing this work since 2009.
Through mentoring, coaching, and teaching, my clients break through the blocks, barriers, and belief systems holding them back. This breakthrough ignites their confidence and enhances their athletic potential, allowing them to be the person, athlete, and leader they aspire to be.
My mission is to empower student-athletes by enhancing their skills and building confidence, focus, and mental resilience. I also provide education and support on college recruitment, time management, effective communication, and stress reduction to parents and athletes. My personalized coaching programs support athletes to achieve peak performance on and off the field while maintaining a sense of purpose.

What Athletes & Parents Have to Say:
"Having someone other than a parent for our daughter to turn to has been a blessing, and it shows both on and off the field."
"Mary Lynne's easy-going personality and positive affirmations helped my daughter find a way to deal internally with her coach and gave her the tools she needed to overcome her feeling of uneasiness and worry of re-injury. In a short amount of time, Avery became much more positive with her thoughts and learned how to deal with the negativity coming from her coach. My daughter felt comfortable confiding in Mary Lynne and was open to the changes she needed to make in order to stay strong both mentally and physically. Having someone other than a parent for our student-athlete to turn to has been a blessing for our daughter, and it shows both on and off the field."
~Jennifer, parent
"I was able to get back out there and feel confident in myself."
“I was in my head a lot, focusing on my competition. I wasn’t as good as I was the year prior, and I didn’t know what to do to get better. My mom thought it would be a good idea to talk to Mary Lynne and see if she could help me. Mary Lynne and I worked together for about 3 sessions and that’s all I needed to get back to feeling good. It was easy to talk to Mary Lynne. I felt like she listened to me. With the work that we did, I was able to get back out there and feel confident in myself and who I am as a skier. After we worked together, I went on to compete at the Junior Nationals for Nordic Skiing and being recruited to ski for Saint Michael's College.”
~ Otus, Nordic Skier
After 2 sessions, "She got her mojo back!"
"My daughter saw Mary Lynne to help her overcome some confidence issues that were significantly impacting her soccer playing. Our experience with Mary Lynne has been extremely helpful. She was able to form a genuine connection with my daughter, and helped guide her to open up and explore some of the issues that were holding her back. After her second session with Mary Lynne, she looked like a different player on the field. She completely got her mojo back, and was able to perform at a much higher level. Mary Lynne was an integral part of Libby regaining her confidence, and providing the support she needed to conquer her insecurities. Mary Lynne is compassionate and intuitive, and is able to provide vital tools for athletes who are working through any obstacles impacting their sport. She is deeply committed to her clients and provides a framework of resources and mindfulness practices, to rewire any negative mindsets that have been getting in the way of their growth."
~Melissa, parent
"I have been speaking more positively to myself, and the techniques she taught me have allowed me to feel better mentally."
" Mary Lynne made me feel at ease which allowed me to fully trust the process. We had sessions over a few months and in these, we would go over the events of my practices or games, what was bothering me from these, and how I could work on handling myself in the situations better. During the sessions, she made me feel heard and understood and validated my feelings. After these past few months working with Mary Lynne, I am better at managing my time and schedule which is evidently making me less stressed. I have been speaking more positively to myself, and the techniques she taught me have allowed me to feel better mentally. Overall, I am so thankful to have gotten the pleasure of working with Mary Lynne, and I am grateful to be taking her techniques with me to college this fall where I will be playing soccer at St. Bonaventure!"
~Avery, Soccer Player
