YOUR KEY TO PEAK PERFORMANCE IS TUNING UP!

Fiona Sebastian knows success in college athletics isn’t just about talent—it’s about preparation, discipline, and smart training. Research shows athletes using mental training—like visualization and goal-setting—boost performance by 15%.

Beyond physical conditioning, stress management and time optimization are crucial. Over 60% of student-athletes struggle to balance academics and athletics, often leading to burnout. Mastering all aspects of performance—from mental preparation to injury prevention—sets you apart. Whether your goal is excelling in your sport, securing an NIL deal, or preparing for life after athletics, optimizing performance is the key to success.

Fiona is available to talk with you right now about the importance of managing performance anxiety, mental toughness & resilience, time management and prioritization, goal setting and motivation, and visualisation and peak performance techniques!
