Sport & Mental Performance

---

MindThrive Counseling specializes in working with high achieving athletes that might be dealing with sports anxiety, depression, self-esteem, decreased motivation, sports injuries, mental blocks, grief and loss, or any other issues that might be affecting an individual’s performance on and off the field.

Combining 25 years of counseling experience with over a decade of coaching youth sports, Robert is able to bridge the gap between mental health and athletic performance. He understands the unique pressures athletes face—on the field, and in life—and provides practical tools to help you unlock your full potential.

Through mental performance coaching, athletes and performers learn how to:

• Stay focused and composed under pressure
   
• Manage negative self-talk and build confidence
   
• Recover quickly from mistakes and setbacks
   
• Create mental routines that prepare them for success
   

Robert’s approach blends sport psychology techniques, mindfulness practices, and evidence-based counseling skills to help athletes strengthen their mindset just like they strengthen their body. Whether you’re preparing for competition, navigating transitions, or striving for peak performance, coaching sessions provide a supportive and results-driven space to grow.

Telehealth Coaching:

Using a secure telehealth platform allows me to connect with you from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office. This flexible option is ideal for athletes with a busy schedule, transportation challenges, or those living out of my Richmond, MI service area. On-line sessions offers the same high-quality coaching services you would receive in person. This option allows me to work with clients all over the state of Michigan. 

In-Office Coaching:

For those who prefer face-to-face sessions, I offer in-office coaching sessions in a welcoming, confidential, and comfortable space at my Richmond, MI office location. 

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or "tapping" is a technique that involves tapping on acupressure points while focusing on a challenge or negative emotion to reduce stress, improve focus, boost confidence, and overcome performance anxiety, helping athletes perform at their best. By activating the body's relaxation response, it can calm the nervous system, reduce cortisol levels, and address emotional blocks like self-doubt, ultimately supporting mental resilience and physical recovery.
