I help elite athletes regulate their nervous system
Burnout happens when your performance becomes your identity.
Athletes want to perform at their best and feel confident in their bodies and minds.
They often push harder, add more volume, chase perfection, and still feel stuck and unsure about what is wrong.
The real problem isn’t effort. It’s the deeper patterns driving performance.
Overthinking. Pressure. Self-criticism. Chronic pain. Unwanted behavior. That constant feeling of never being good enough.
That’s where internal performance work comes in.
When you address what’s happening beneath the surface, you don’t just train differently, you live differently.
With the right support and tools, athletes can break free from destructive cycles, reconnect with themselves, and build sustainable performance rooted in clarity, confidence, and wholeness.

What Conner’s Client’s are Saying
Before working with Coach Conner, I struggled with feeling like I wasn’t getting better at my sport no matter how much I trained and was feeling disappointed mentally and physically. He helped me see that training is both mental and physical, in and out of the gym. What stood out was the way he approached the athletes mindset along with nutrition and the actual training itself. I have experienced big PR’s while working with Conner but nothing has compared to the way he has changed my mindset and how I approach things. I feel like a better person since I have started working with him and have enjoyed every step of the process.

Before working with Conner, I felt alone in my struggles & worried that I would never be able to grow in a healthy manner. Conner has allowed me to see myself through a lens of grace & love. For so long I have placed my identity in my ability to progress, produce & accomplish. If these objectives were not met, I saw myself as a failure filled with excuses & lack of discipline. Conner has helped me recognize that many of my experiences through life have directed me to learn how to cope & respond, often in an unhealthy manner. His approach of listening, seeing, guiding, leading & gracefully extending a helping hand, is something I did not expect in this line of work.
— Maddie B.
We have been hitting PRs left and right! Before working with Conner, I struggled on where to move next in the sport. I was lost with myself in the sport and didn’t have much direction. One thing that he has taught me over the past months I’ve been with him, is communication and recovery. Conner puts in a lot of effort and advice when you get stuck in your thoughts. He is able to shift your mindset to think in so many positive ways. Conner has taught me what recovery should look like and what to follow to be in the right direction for it.
— Karsyn R.
I’ve struggled with plateaued performance, severe lower back pain, and GI issues that kept me feeling like I was running into a brick wall for years. In the last year I’ve not only seen PR’s in the gym, but I’m able to compete (or not compete) with peace and freedom. Before working with Conner, I was so lost and alone. Athlete Story Groups and 1:1 Coaching have been extremely transformational in my life. I’ve learned the deeper patterns beneath behaviors such as over training and under fueling and have learned healthier ways to regulate my nervous system and be ‘ok’ without always having to grind harder. My faith has been deepened, my identity solidified, and I can honestly say the journey has been so much fun. If you’re on the fence, don’t wait any longer to connect with Conner.
— Jessica W.
I was burnt out, mentally defeated, and was going to quit my sport. Conner has taught me how not to base my identity off of my sport or how well I perform. He focused on the person as a whole and not just the sport. I’ve grown in the sport as a whole. However, my performance anxiety has decreased. Don’t delay your growth by waiting for the inevitable. Just sign up, you’ll thank yourself.
— Austin F.
What stands out to me about Conner’s coaching is all the behind the scenes work of each of his athletes individually. It’s not just about the PRs or the progress made in the gym. Conner has helped me in my personal life and understanding why I feel, react, and process things the way I do and seeing the beauty in that. I’ve learned how to fuel properly, rest when I’m supposed to, and learn what regulates me both in and outside of training; which ultimately helps me perform better in training. He wants what is best and most beneficial for you as an athlete and person. Conner learns from the best and has experience and knowledge that is all applicable. He’s one of the best out there.

Every athlete wants to feel grounded, confident, and connected, not just in competition, but in everyday life. But getting there requires more than discipline or another training cycle. It takes clarity about your story and practical tools to regulate your mind and body.
The truth is, many athletes are carrying pressure, old patterns, and internal stress that no amount of hard work can fix. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like nothing you do is ever enough. And while you may be performing on the outside, your nervous system and inner world may be telling a very different story.
I understand what that feels like. I’ve lived through seasons of extreme anxiety, instability, and the disappointment of looking to sport for security only to feel let down.
I know what it’s like to depend on performance to feel okay, and to still feel lost when the game is over. Over the years, I’ve combined my background in strength and conditioning, nutrition, and trauma-informed coaching to develop a process that helps athletes build stability from the inside out.
Here’s how the work happens:
We start with an assessment that gives you a clear picture of your patterns, pressure points, and the story that’s been shaping you. From there, you choose the level of support that fits where you are, whether it’s joining a 14-week Story Group, doing individualized 1:1 coaching, or participating in one of our online workshops for athletes and coaches. Together, we build emotional regulation, identity, clarity, purpose, and sustainable lifestyle rhythms that support you long term.
If you’re ready to begin this work, you can join a program today. And if you’re not ready to commit, you can still explore our free resources, join the waitlist to stay connected, or simply send me a message.
