Specialized Coaching for Basketball Players

As we all know, winning isn't just about physical skills—it's about mastering the mental game. Developing a champion's growth mindset is essential. Without it, even the most physically gifted athletes or well-coached teams will never reach their full potential. This is why at The Champions Mindset, I focus on mental conditioning for athletes and teams to help them achieve their true greatness.

Proven Success

Over the past 18 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with individual athletes and sports teams, helping them smash through what they once thought were impossible goals. Many of the coaches and families I’ve worked with have come to refer to me as their “secret weapon.” I’ve developed a five-part strategy designed to remove limiting beliefs (and yes, we all have them), and once cleared, I’ve seen a 100% success rate in achieving extraordinary results. That’s right—every athlete who has embraced these mindset tools has seen incredible outcomes.

Remarkable Success Stories from Real Athletes

A U22 Women’s Basketball Team that was sitting 5th halfway through the season went on to win every game, eventually clinching the State Championship in extra time.

A swimmer, after only two sessions with me, competed in a state championship and entered eight events. She came home with eight gold medals, six personal bests, and shaved six seconds off her 200-meter individual medley.

A basketball player who broke her arm in three places was told she might never play again. After working with me, she was back on the court in just three months.

A Varsity Men’s Basketball Team, having lost their star players due to graduation, was struggling with self-belief and consistently losing games. After mindset training with me, they won their conference title, facing a team that had beaten them twice during the season and thrashing them by 30 points.

Endorsement from Dual Basketball Olympian

Here’s what Brad Dalton, Dual Basketball Olympian, had to say about working with me:
“Kathryn has worked with my teams on goals and confidence. I had an extremely successful season when she helped my U22 women’s team win the State Championship, so I decided to call on her to help my St. Augustine’s Varsity team, who were struggling with lack of belief. We went on to win the remainder of the games that season, including the conference final by thirty points over a team that had beaten us both times during the regular season. The boys hardly missed a shot in the opening period and gave their opposition little chance of success.”
