About
Professional soccer player, athlete mentor, and founder of HB Mental Performance.
My Story
Playing professional soccer taught me that talent and physical preparation only get an athlete so far. What separates good from great, and great from consistent, is the mental game — how you handle pressure, setbacks, and the noise of comparison.
My own path took me from playing Division I college soccer to professional contracts across Europe — Iceland, Hungary, Turkey, and Italy, including a Champions League run along the way. Every move meant starting over in a new country, a new locker room, a new language — proving myself again, and learning the mental side of the game as I went. Looking back, I wish I'd had then the tools I have now. That's what eventually led me to pursue my Master's in Sport and Performance Psychology.
From there, I started mentoring athletes directly, and eventually built HB Mental Performance — a practice dedicated to helping athletes train their mind with the same intention they train their body.
Philosophy
Every athlete I work with is chasing something different — a starting spot, a scholarship, a pro contract, a comeback. But the work is always the same: get out of your own way, and compete against who you were yesterday.
