ABOUT US

MEET CHRIS LEONARD, CERTIFIED MENTAL PERFORMANCE MASTERY COACH

I'm Chris Leonard, and since 2004, I've been working with athletes aged 8 to 25 in Philadelphia. During this time, I discovered the incredible benefits of mental coaching and sports psychology, such as boosting confidence, enhancing focus, managing stress, and improving team dynamics, all contributing to holistic athlete development. This solutions-oriented approach helps athletes perform at their best, over the long-term, leading to additional tangible benefits such as improved win-loss records, enhanced teamwork, and a more fulfilling athletic experience.

During my role as Assistant to the Head Coach at Bryn Mawr College from August 2017 to December 2022, I helped implement the team's Mental Coaching practice. Before that, from 2004 to 2017, I coached travel soccer at the Lower Merion Soccer Club, where I incorporated mental coaching into my programs, significantly enhancing player development.
