Are you ready to understand how to coach this generation of athletes effectively?

In a win-at-all-cost world in sport, winning can come at the expense of coaches’, support staff, and athletes’ well-being. Our Thriving Through Being™ course is all about disrupting the status quo within sport, where optimal well-being and optimal performance co-exist. Instead of focusing on doing, this course challenges coaches and support staff to thrive through being.

Dr. Lauren McHenry has experienced all phases of this journey. 

She’s been a college and professional athlete and a youth coach. Now she’s a mental performance consultant with Team USA athletes and teams, part of the curriculum development team for college coach credentialing. The creation and pilot evaluation of Thriving Through BeingTM was funded by NCAA Womens Basketball National Staff, Womens Basketball Coaches Association, and The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.
