Unlock Your Athletic Potential
Empowering athletes through mental performance training.
About Ava Kaylor Performance
Ava Kaylor Performance is dedicated to enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of athletes through sport psychology. My goal is to help athletes develop the mental skills and resilience needed to perform at their best, overcome challenges, and achieve their full potential. I work closely with athletes to provide personalized strategies for managing performance anxiety, building confidence, setting goals, and maintaining focus during high-pressure situations. My approach is rooted in understanding the unique psychological demands of sports and tailoring my interventions to meet the individual needs of each athlete.
My mission is simple: to help athletes train their minds with the same intention they train their bodies. Because strong athletes aren't just physically prepared-they're mentally ready.
PROGRAMS: INDIVIDUAL, TEAMS, CAMPS/WORKSHOPS
Individual Programs
Ava offers one-on-one sessions that are individualized to fit your performance needs. Whether you are seeking to maximize an already high level of performance, are underperforming and want to improve, or are dealing with personal issues that interfere with your success, individual sessions provide you with the opportunity to discuss your situation in more depth and receive individual solutions.
Individual sessions are typically an hour long and generally occur on a once per week basis, though the frequency of meetings will depend on your situation and needs. We work together in-person and/or via zoom.
Athletes will learn practical mental skills such as goal setting, confidence building, focus strategies, emotional regulation, and competition preparation. individual sessions create a supportive space for athletes to develop the mindset needed to handle pressure, overcome setbacks, and perform at your best when it matters most.
Team Programs
A championship team is more than the sum of its parts, it's greater than the individual players and coaches. a championship team is defined by its ability to work together to achieve a common goal and often exceeds expectations.
Mental Training for teams is both pro-active and preventative. Teams will focus on building team cohesion, improving communication, fostering team commitment, and refining team goals. Each team/group program is tailored to your team's specific needs, goals, and budget.
