I feel it’s time to introduce/reintroduce myself!

My name is JoAnne. I am a Dr. of Sport and Performance Psychology and am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) from the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. I am also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

As a former college field hockey athlete, I have always been interested in understanding the mind-body connection, which led me to this career path.

As a full-time college professor, researcher, and owner of Absolute Fitness Performance Psychology, I strive to provide my students and clients with the best education possible to help enhance their self-awareness and self-regulation skills.

The athletes and teams I have worked with range from youth athletes to college athletes, as well as professional and endurance athletes. I’ve found that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for mental skills. Each athlete, team, and performer responds uniquely.

My overall goal is to assist athletes and teams in recognizing how to utilize their mental skills and abilities to achieve performance success!

We had a little bit of fun with this one! 😂

But all joking aside- sometimes it’s easy to think that an athlete can simply adjust their mindset in the moment.

Developing a growth mindset takes time, patience, and practice!

Tune into areas you find yourself having a fixed mindset. Ask yourself if there are opportunities for growth. Identify strategies to begin implementing.

🧠 Keep pushing forward!

Setbacks during injury rehabilitation aren’t just physical — they’re mental and emotional, too.

When progress stalls, frustration may rise, leaving athletes to experience self-doubt and confidence struggles.

Implementing mental skills can be a crucial element to include during this time (and always).

Mental skills help injured athletes:
• Stay focused on the process, especially when timelines change
• Manage emotions such as fear, frustration, and uncertainty
• Enhance self-trust and trust in providers

Check out this post to learn five strategies to implement during these challenging times.

Rehab isn’t only about healing the body.
It’s about training the mind alongside the body.

It’s Athlete Mental Health Week! Let’s break the stigma!

Our society has embraced the bigger, faster, stronger mentality, which has advantages and disadvantages. One thing is for sure: the stigma that exists regarding mental health and athletes needs to end.

Whether you’re an elite athlete or just starting, one element that deserves attention daily is your mental health.

It does not make you weak. It does not make you less strong. It does not make your coach think less of you.

🗣It shows that you are human.
🗣It shows that you are self-aware.
🗣It shows that you recognize that for your physical performance to be strong, your mental performance must be stronger.

It is okay to ask for help. It’s okay to say you’re not okay. It’s okay to tap into your feelings.

You are the only person who knows how you are truly feeling, what emotions you experiencing, and the thoughts you are having.

Be strong for yourself. Stand up for yourself. There are people here to help you!

I had so much fun presenting at the yesterday! It was awesome working with these coaches to discuss key elements of building a strong team culture, including communication, cohesion, and standards. Plus, it was awesome seeing how competitive they were with our cup game to learn the reset mentality!

The bonus was connecting with athletes I coached in high school and with coaches I’ve worked with over the years!

Loved every minute of being back in the field hockey world!

Thank you again for having me!
