Personal Coaching
One-on-one with Valerie Alston via Zoom. I am trained in behavior change and motivational techniques. Rather than acting as the expert and giving advice, I will create an environment that gives you permission to take the lead. I adhere to what you want, not what I think you should want. You determine your unique goals through a process of self-discovery and accountability, and I facilitate change at a pace set by you. The goal of these sessions is to give you personalized coaching and help you apply the techniques in this book to build your mental toughness.
Team Consultation and Camp Instruction
Team sessions are designed and structured to address mental barriers that the team has in their day-to-day functioning or performance. This could include team building, or mental skills instruction. If you run sports camps or clinics and would like to bring added value to your athletes I can help by including mental skills instruction at your camp/clinic.

Mental Toughness Training
Mental Performance Training/Coaching focuses on helping the athlete/performer master the mental side of performance. The training pulls from the fields of sport psychology, positive psychology, mindfulness practices and research, motor learning, coaching science and developmental psychology that will help the athlete perform consistently in training and competition, increase motivation to stick to training/exercise programs, to enhance their grittiness, hardiness, and resilience and help individuals reach their potential.
Performance Skills
These skills are focused on helping athletes train more effectively and efficiently, and to excel in performance moments.
Perform at Your Best
Learn how to put mental skills into a personal performance plan that will set conditions for success. This helps athletes take control of the mental and emotional side of performance and gain a mental edge on the competition.
Life Skills
These skills are focused on helping your athlete build their self-awareness, effective thinking, optimism, communication skills and character to enable success in sport, academics, and life.
Build Your Resilience
Failure is a very common experience in sport and in life. If your athlete doesn’t have these skills it will be very difficult to excel in life. Resilience skills help athletes put sport in perspective, normalize failure and give them specific tools to build strong relationships.
