Athlete Couples
At this stage of my career, with more than 20 years of experience working with couples, I’m deeply inspired to dedicate a big piece of my work to where athlete relationships, mental health, and high-performance sport come together.
Being in a relationship where one or both partners are athletes comes with experiences that many couples never face. Whether you’re balancing two athletic careers or one partner is navigating the demands of elite sport while the other supports them, high-performance sport can shape the way you communicate, connect, manage conflict, and move through life’s biggest decisions.
You may be navigating…
- Long periods apart because of training, travel, or competition
- Injury, rehabilitation, or retirement
- Performance pressure that impacts your relationship
- Contracts, trades, relocations, or career uncertainty
- Balancing two athletic careers — or supporting one athletic career
- Marriage, parenthood, or other major life transitions
- Feeling disconnected after another demanding season
- Learning how to reconnect beyond sport
Together, we can work to…
- Strengthen communication and deepen connection
- Better understand one another’s experiences
- Navigate conflict with greater compassion
- Stay emotionally connected through demanding seasons
- Build trust and emotional intimacy
- Navigate life’s transitions as a strong team
- Create a relationship that grows alongside your athletic journey
