What We Do
Our Clients...
Learn how to support and cultivate adaptable mental and emotional skills to "believe they can" through building a knowledge base that includes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral tools and a support system that enables players to show up and perform to their desired capabilities.
How We Do It...
Services are provided through 1:1 coaching & mentoring with players, parents, and caregivers. Additionally, we provide small group, club, and team support through onsite services, speaking engagements, and presentations.
We FOCUS On...
Developing the environment, support system, and foundational attributes grounded in who they are, what matters to them, self-talk, goals, and the behaviors to leverage their capabilities to support these actions in their sport and life.
The Benefits...
What we offer translates beyond sports. We want our clients to succeed beyond their field of play. We want our clients to cultivate their self confidence and be prepared to succeed at life.
Services
Often an athlete begins to have doubts, questions their abilities, may fall short of their goals, max out their mental and emotional "tools", or somewhere along the path lose momentum, they lose the "why?",
The "why" they are working so hard.
As a parent, caregiver, or coach the relationship can become unhealthy, unproductive, and it can be challenging to understand "how to show up" or "how to get through" to their player.
Said another way, it can feel like "they just don't listen to me..."
Our process includes building a sustainable mental & emotional foundation beyond the field of play.
We offer insights, strategies, and tools for parents, caregivers, coaches and players to build knowledge, skills, and abilities to cultivate the environment, understand how to support their player, and show up through productive behaviors.
We collaborate with our clients to begin the process of developing a life practice which enables them to actualize their aspirations, objectives, and goals on the field of play and in the game of life.

Navigating Defeat
Losing, not making the cut, and injuries have a place in the process of sport and life.
It is a reminder of what matters to us. The look on a players face after a game, match, or not making the cut is always evidence of how much the experience has mattered to them.As parents, caregivers, extended family members, friends, siblings - there’s never the “right thing to say…” to help dilute the sting of emotions..
While it is common place to want to be encouraging and say positive things. It is also valuable to recognize the sadness, hurt, disappointment, frustration, and numerous other emotions circulating during an injury or after defeat..We work with our clients to understand how to navigate and metabolize the emotions when the plan for success incurs a delay due to injury or just doesn't happen.
About
Tracy Henderson
MA | LMHC | CCTP | ADHD - CCSP | ISSA - CPT
Professionally
By trade and training I am a licensed mental health counselor and supervisor licensed in Washington State | LH60980971 with over a decade of training & experience working with and providing mental health and counseling services in public mental health, school systems, and private practice with adolescents, young adults, individuals, couples, and families.
In addition, I am an ISSA certified personal trainer (ISSA - CPT) and I have worked with individuals and adolescents as a fitness & life coach, mental skills coach, and mentor providing services that are grounded in developing insight into who they are (Identity) what matters (Values) and establishing what my clients are working for (Purpose) in an effort to identify the forcing functions (Motivation) necessary to cultivate their self-confidence and meet their goals.
Passionately
I have played sports my entire life, coached youth sports, and enjoy chasing a finish line and competing with others. I appreciate the opportunity to challenge myself in an effort to actively pressure test my own growth.
I have finished short, medium, and Ironman distance triathlon's in an effort to challenge myself mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I understand how it feels to reach limits and then push beyond. That ability to push beyond doesn't come from extra time in the gym, on the pitch, or field of play. It comes from developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities in the Mental Gym!
Mental skills can be the difference maker when it comes to achieving a goal.
When I work with clients, my passion shows up as encouraging, committed, focused, hard working, enthusiastic, and comes with a consistent message.
