Meet Gina
Mental Performance Consultant/Coach
As a lifelong athlete and experienced coach, I know firsthand the immense physical and mental demands of sport. I firmly believe in its power to transform us, but I also understand how hard it can be for athletes to maintain confidence and joy under pressure.
My deep fascination with human performance led me to earn a degree in Psychology from Colorado College and pursue a Master’s in Performance, Sport, and Exercise Psychology at the University of Illinois Chicago.
I have hands-on experience supporting youth and Division I athletes. My consulting approach is guided by acceptance, curiosity, and authenticity, with a focus on building a trusting and supportive relationship that empowers clients to take ownership of their growth.
I founded Outplay to help young athletes achieve their goals and grow into confident, resilient, and well-rounded people by equipping them with mental skills that last long after the game ends.
Why Mental Performance?
Mental performance coaching is the science of training your brain to work with your body, not against it. Just as you train your muscles for strength, we train the mind to handle the intense pressures of competition.
At Outplay, we don't focus on "fixing" thoughts or eliminating nerves. Instead, we build psychological flexibility: the ability to stay present and focused on the game even when anxiety, mistakes, or self-doubt show up. By learning to "unhook" from unhelpful internal chatter and commit to doing what matters, athletes unlock a true competitive advantage: the power to perform at their peak while reclaiming the genuine joy and passion of the game.
Athletes might pursue mental performance coaching when:
They find themselves stuck in their head or overthinking during competition.
They struggle to move past mistakes, injuries, or poor performances and let them “snowball.”
They feel like their “practice self” is different from their “game self” due to nerves or anxiety.
They are experiencing burnout or fatigue and have lost touch with the joy and purpose of their sport.
They have difficulty managing the high-intensity emotions (frustration, fear, anger) that come with elite competition.
They are struggling to manage the demands of school, recruiting, and high-level athletics while staying present.
They find themselves “playing it safe” or holding back to avoid failure rather than chasing success.
With Outplay, athletes will gain:
Psychological Flexibility: the ability to stay present and effective even when difficult thoughts or “pre-game jitters” show up.
Present-Moment Focus: skills to stay “locked in” on the current play rather than dwelling on the last mistake or worrying about the final score.
Values-Based Confidence: a sense of self-worth built on effort, preparation, and character; things that athletes can actually control.
Committed Action: clearer intentions and more consistent execution that aligns with the type of teammate and competitor they want to be.
Sustainable Performance: a healthier, more joyful relationship with sport that prevents burnout and promotes long-term growth.
