Coach Erika has taken a revolutionary approach to both her implementation of sports nutrition and unique practice of mental performance. I have literally never seen a Coach use such outside the box, but incredibly effective techniques and principles to their athletes, and I have been in this game of high performance physical and mental fitness for nearly 30 years!
Coach Erika’s approach is definitely not cookie cutter and she takes into account not only the here and now for performance, health and body composition, but how her athletes will progress to life after sports are finished. Too many coaches in the sports performance space only account for the present, not realizing they are actually setting their athletes up for a big let down once sports are done. Erika’s approach is highly adaptable to the teenage, collegiate and professional athlete both during their prime and in ‘retirement’. Another HUGE aspect that sets Coach Erika apart is that she was a high level, D1 tennis athlete and she has been through the struggles and it was during those struggles that she learned what did not work and what she wanted for her clients in terms of mental health, physical fitness and self-confidence.
The combination of sports nutrition and mental performance go hand in hand for the young tennis player. Once they dial in both, they will no doubt perform consistently at their peak potential. One without the other will always leave a stone unturned and lead to frustration. The way Coach Erika combines these modalities allows one to feed the other, and back and forth. Great nutrition leads to confidence both on the court and off in terms of body image and health and mastering the mental game makes implementation of the nutrition simple and easy. Very few Coaches combine these two aspects and when they do, it’s usually just bland information that doesn’t translate.
I have no doubt that any athletes that works with Coach Erika will see a huge boost in energy, an exponential increase in their mental game and will manifest in a highly performing tennis player. No one is perfect all the time, but when the body, mind and energy are enhanced through these highly effective trainings and strategies, any ‘low’ can easily be overcome and will be short lived.
To any parents out there, I can confidently say that investing in your child, with the services of Coaching at this level, is one of the best investments you will ever make. Imagine not only giving your child/daughter the gift of knowing that they developed their capabilities to the fullest, knowing there were no regrets and also giving them the gift of having the foundation to not suffer with body image issues like so many women athletes do, both during their playing days and after. I have 4 children and making sure they have the best Coaches/mentors is the best investment I make, bar none!
I am extremely confident in referring any tennis players or parents of tennis players to Coach Erika because she has been there. She speaks from personal experience and is also the ultimate student, testing her theories, getting the results and she knows everything that does not work, which alone is worth its price in gold. I know Coach Erika will not only be a world class Coach to any tennis players, but she will be the mentor that we all wish had!!!
