What Client's are Saying

“Talese is a great coach for the mental side of training for any type of sport. She gives sound advice and takes you through the process of feeling intimidated with a first time try at a sport, to feeling confident and able to perform with excitement and enthusiasm. I recommend her to anyone who might feel any hesitation about their abilities. She will bring out the best in you and give you the tools that you need to overcome any obstacle."

“Talese has been an integral part of why my daughter, Kendall, has progressed to the next level of Irish Dance. My daughter, who was 8 at the time, had gotten "stuck" inside her own mind when performing on stage. Admittedly, Kendall is my shy girl, and I was skeptical that Talese would be able to get through to her and get her to talk. Talese captured Kendall's trust immediately. Within a few short sessions, Talese helped her break through her own barriers and learn how to develop a positive ritual before competition that has made a big difference in Kendall's confidence. I am proud to say that Kendall is now competing at a Championship level across the country and anticipates upcoming competitions in Ireland and England! My husband and I have recently decided to hire Talese to work with our eldest daughter, Montana, who is swimming competitively. I know that she will give Montana the necessary tools to be a well-prepared athlete and perform to her ultimate capabilities!”

“Doing an event can create anxiety and stress that can inhibit the performance of an athlete at any level.   Many athletes have fear or lack self-confidence to perform at their optimum level.  Talese's workshops and expert guidance, through several techniques, can help you gain the confidence and mental toughness to get you through any part of your race.  You'll find that the methods she teaches you become the tools in your own private arsenal of weapons against self-doubt, and they
are yours forever to revisit whenever you find it necessary.  I've seen the techniques she uses make a  difference in athletes I coach, as well as with my own training.”

“I'm currently working with Talese and within the first week or two, I made remarkable progress with my mental performance barriers. I have literally gone from feeling fear, anxiety, lack of motivation, lack of confidence and experiencing negative self talk in relation to my physical performances to viewing my next physical performance as a challenge and looking forward to it.

For many reasons, going to Disneyland creates much anxiety for me. I went to Disney today and I'm so happy. For the first time in probably 4 years, I went to Disneyland and experienced NO anxiety all day long. I experienced none at all. What a victory!!!! 

Thank you Talese for giving me my life back!!”

“I met Talese at the Los Alamitos Race on the Base clinics for the TRI on February 2012. Since that was going to be my first TRI, I was trying to find out as much as I could about different training skills.   What Talese said at the clinics made so much sense, and I registered to take more group classes with her through the City of Los Alamitos.  I did take the classes, and I really liked the way Talese teaches, and after completing my first TRI in February 25, 2012, with a big smile on my face and great sense of satisfaction with my performance, I became a 1 to 1 student with her. She has helped me achieve my goals, and I mean not just in the area of sports, but in important goals that also impact my personal life. She is very professional, but at the same time she is so easy to talk to, we communicate very well. She helped me so much this past year.”

“The time you spent coaching our Triathlon Group last Sunday was appreciated. I was feeling quite low because my performance hadn’t been able to keep up with the group that day. I was down on myself and had been negatively talking to myself the entire morning. I am nervous about my upcoming competition, but thanks to your instructions on how to picture myself succeeding, I feel confident. I am looking forward to our next session.”

I pray each day to have success in what I do. Yesterday, my prayers were definitely answered. For those of you who didn't get a chance to attend the CE in LA yesterday, Talese gave a workshop that  demonstrated how our minds can be our worst hindrance to our success unless we learn to stay positive. The tools she gave us allowed me to go out and have my most productive and hardest working days yet!
