Acker Mental Performance

I've crawled out of my social media hideout for a dang good reason...

I had the privilege to be interviewed by Chase and Phil from Valley Sports Academy for their Unfiltered Game Plan podcast. We've had many conversations like this before and figured it should finally be put out in the world!

It's always a good day to sit at a table with both of them and discuss our collectively shared thoughts on positively growing and progressing youth, high school, and collegiate athletics. In an ever fluctuating environment, it takes the drive of many to see good change happen, and I'm proud to be part of that.

It would mean quite a bit to me if you gave it a listen, as the conversation we have dives into many of the areas I've been most passionate about over the last few years. I'm on a mission to be an asset in the success of athletes and this is another step in the right direction!

And, if this got your brain churning, I'd love to chat. Any sport, any age, I'm your gal. Grab a spot on my calendar: https://calendly.com/ackerperformance/mental-performance-intro

How can you help?

Spread the truth. Social media can be a powerful tool in sharing mental health services, real life takes, and acknowledging that life isn't a magazine cover or a Hallmark movie.

Speak honestly. Address life's challenges with each other. Hiding beneath a veneer of perfection benefits no one. You never know who may be in the same boat.

Seek assistance. Mental health professionals are trained to be an asset in every situation. Reach out, even if it is for a conversation.

Bring a professional in. Every organization, program, business, or entity performs in a way that requires strong mental skills. Mental performance coaches teach tools, strategies, and skillsets necessary to grow and thrive in that realm. Mental health therapists provide counseling and support for those working through mental health challenges.
