Your athlete looks confident in practice but freezes or overthinks in games
Mistakes linger emotionally and spiral into frustration, tears, or shutdown
Confidence has suddenly dropped and you’re not sure why
Pressure is causing anxiety before games or avoidance of competition
They’re hard on themselves, negative, or constantly questioning their ability
Performance is inconsistent despite strong training and preparation
You feel stuck watching it happen and don’t know how to help without making it worse
You worry this mental block could carry into future seasons or higher levels
Free consultation calls are available for:
Parents of youth and high school athletes
Middle school, high school, and college athletes
Coaches looking to support athlete mindset and performance
Mental performance coaching is skill-based training for athletes. It is not therapy or counseling. All athletes under the age of 18 must have a parent present during the free consultation call.
When you book a free call, we will:
Listen & hear from the athlete directly on what they feel is going on, what steps they have taken to improve so far, and what their goals are
Listen to parent input as needed as parents can play a very important role in the support process for athletes as they improve their mental game
Get clear on what’s showing up for your athlete: confidence dips, pressure, overthinking, emotional reactions, inconsistent performance, etc.
Identify what’s driving the issue and whether mental performance coaching is the right support to help your athlete compete with confidence again.
Outline a realistic path forward so you understand what change can look like and what kind of coaching support makes sense…no pressure, no obligation.
Virtual coaching is available nationwide for youth, high school & college athletes across all sports & backgrounds.
EXCELLENT Based on 33 reviews Posted on Google Amanda HanounTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so grateful we stumbled across Ashley and Aspire Mindset. I feel it can be rare to find coaches that aren't burnt out or "half way in." Ashley's presence and desire to help really shines and it results in very meaningful change!!! She's amazing at what she does. My daughter's mindset has completely transformed into a growth mindset and it's great to see her so happy again. Thank you Ashley!!!! We truly appreciate you so much!!Posted on Google DanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Ashley. She worked with our soccer player on increasing her confidence, overcoming mistakes and managing frustrations. Ashley worked with her to identify goals, develop strategies and chart her progress. We were very pleased and will continue to work with Ashley.Posted on Google Scott WhitesideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our high school basketball team was lucky enough to have Ashley Ainsworth of Aspire Mindset come out and speak to our players. She provided great information, was engaged and spoke on a level they could relate to. Excellent job by her and I would recommend her to anyone.Posted on Google Sheila LianosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Ashley was one of the best decisions we made during my daughter’s college recruitment journey. The process of being recruited to play Division 1 field hockey is intense, emotional, and at times overwhelming. At the same time of trying to get recruited, our daughter began struggling with her performance and maintaining focus during a competitive travel season. The pressure of inconsistent play combined with the ups and downs of recruitment, started to take a real toll on her confidence and enjoyment of the game. That’s when Ashley stepped in and made a remarkable difference. Through tailored strategies, consistent support, and an intuitive understanding of what young athletes go through, she helped our daughter regain her composure, build mental resilience, and reconnect with her love for the sport. Ashley was always engaged and supportive with every call, follow up text and scheduled session. Our daughter now committed to a D1 program that’s a perfect fit—athletically, academically, and personally. If your athlete needs support staying grounded, focused, and mentally strong, we can’t recommend Ashley and Aspire Mindset enough.Posted on Google Heather BeisselTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend for athletes and non-athletes! Great platform to take your mental edge to the next level!Posted on Google Cristina DyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Ashley is amazing! She helped my teenage daughter improve so much with gee mindset while playing volleyball. She used to get in her head so much when she made a mistake that she would cry during games… coach Ash helped her with coping skills that she currently uses while playing and she no longer gets in her head and moves on from making a mistake so easily now. I highly recommend working with coach Ash! She is amazing and so sweet! We love her!Posted on Google Genevieve MarcelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ashley has been wonderful with my daughter. As parents, we have noticed a definite improvement in her ability to stay composed at competitions in the face of adversity. She has also made strides with retaining a positive mindset when pressure is elevated.
