Erika Carlson has been instrumental in helping myself and my clients take our Mental Training to the next level. Erika has helped many of my clients, both individually, or through a group setting. Erika's training has increased our competitive edge. She not only works with the highly competitive athlete, but she is fantastic with athletes needing to work on confidence, competition jitters or focus. I can't say enough about Erika's positive influence on my business and clients. THANK YOU ERIKA! read less

Barrel racing is a high speed agility event that requires quick physical and mental fitness.
    Being an equestrian and a quality competitor, in many sports she understands the challenges and rewards horses bring to the team. She is a calm, reassuring, realistic coach that has held me accountable to my own goals in a non pressurized manner. She knows the the stresses the outside world can place on any athlete child or adult.
    She has an abundance of "tools" she shares to mentally calm and focus oneself. She can easily help a youngster along with their parent as she can a professional athlete at the top of their game.
    I have also had the privilege to be a student and a partner with her in horsemanship clinic I have hosted. She was a professional coach that laughed with us and felt our fear. She was able to give me and my students skills to change our mindsets that changed our emotions to a beneficial state.
    I do highly recommend her to anyone wishing to enhance their performance!!

I had several medical issues for many years as well as learning and testing difficulties and she mentored me on both and helped me get my scores up to get admitted. Erika's tools for teaching how to relieve stress and visualization for taking tests and performing on field were 100% responsible for me being able to become a student athlete.

Erika and her programs are designed to help kids navigate through the complexities in a safe environment.

    My daughter has been a regular client for years, she is able to talk to Erika and get honest feedback and solutions. When my daughter was injured Erika helped with the recovery from a mental perspective. When she needed advice on test taking, Erika worked with her to give her the tools to improve, which she has tremendously!

    The mental side to any sport is so important and so overlooked by clubs who tend to focus on physical skill and fitness levels. Erika focuses on the mental side, strengthening the focus, decision making and taking the athlete or student to the next level. Erika helps to build a child's self confidence in themselves and their decisions.

    I would recommend Erika to any parent who is interested in their child doing better in sports or school!

    Erika is fantastic!     read less

What she does helps athletes of any age, sport, level, etc. I consulted her as a youth athlete struggling with confidence and was coached to not only gain my confidence again, but to become a more well rounded athlete that was mentally tough. Time with her allowed me to deal with the adversities and grind that come with athletics, which is an aspect in sports that is not worked on at practice. The mental side of the game is just as important, if not more, than the physical, tactical, or technical, and Erika knows how to unlock that potential. I credit her with helping me navigate my way through my youth soccer career, which allowed me to play at the collegiate level the past 4 years and today as a professional athlete. read less
