So You Can Save Time, Energy, and Money
IS YOUR READY TO TAKE THIER PERFORMANCE
TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
They have a dream. They want to play at the collegiate level. They are all in. They work hard and are committed, but you want to make sure it's enough.
You want to support them to achieve their dream of playing their sport in college, but there is a lot to it and you know that.
You know that getting someone outside of family, friends, and their coaches would be good. Someone to hold their hand through the college recruitment process. Someone to elevate their confidence and mindset so they can perform under pressure and handle the pressure of being a student-athlete.
It’s more than a dream for you and them. You know it can happen and are ready to make it happen.
You want your student-athlete to have simple tools, structure, and support to be the athlete you know they are and ready to get in front of college coaches mentally strong and confident.
"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."

"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
"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."

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 assistant athletic coach, I saw the same thing happen to many of my students and athletes.
For over 12 years, I have been a life coach for young people, helping them to break through their barriers to live fully and achieve their dreams. I'm also an author and speaker.
In 2024, I discovered The Fernandez Method, a unique approach that supports my clients in calming their minds, clearing out blocks, and catapulting their lives and dreams.
Through mentoring, coaching, and teaching, athletes break through the blocks, barriers, and belief systems holding them back. This breakthrough ignites their confidence again and elevates their athletic potential.
I am here to help you be the person, athlete, competitor, and leader you know you are.
