"Mental health and psychological game is undoubtedly the most vital part of being an athlete. 
Being a national level athlete is no small feat, and Christen has helped me strengthen my confidence and find pride in my everyday accomplishments. Wth her advice and listening ear, I have learned to love what is good for me and to focus on the things I have control of. 
Her wisdom has allowed me to approach competitions and practice with a better mindset, therefore making me a happier and more successful swimmer."

"Before I met with Coach Christen, I would often find myself so anxious before a race that I felt totally out of control. I put so much pressure on myself at practice and at meets that it became too overwhelming to handle. With the help of Christen, I was able to go into Nationals and World Championships with so much more confidence and so much less fear of the unknown. The physical training of sports can only get you so far. Working on strengthening my mindset around swimming and learning how to adjust the way I view competition has been a game changer for me. I am so grateful for Christen and all the tools she has given me to work towards having the best mindset possible."

"Before I talked with Christen, I used to doubt myself and trick myself into believing that I didn't care about my hard work. Christen showed me how to realign my mentality before I raced so that I was able to realize my full potential in the pool. She taught me how to counteract my doubt and negative self talk, and now I am able to approach practices and races with more confidence than I ever could have imagined."

"Working with Christen has been a life changing experience for my swim career and for my life. With her guidance, I was able to transform my mental practice. The one thing that was holding me back became one of my greatest assets in my performance."

"I can honestly say that Christen was the missing piece of the puzzle I needed to wake up and take control of my confidence."

"Working with Christen may have been the best decision I have ever made. It is no secret that athletes deal with so much pressure and expectations. Personally, I have struggled with anxiety and pressure before big events and I have learned to be ok with being nervous and manage people’s expectations of me. She helped me gain my confidence back. Learning to control what I can control was pivotal to my success.
Thank you, Christen, for being so easy to talk to. You have opened my eyes to many great things and helped me shift my mindset, my focus and perspective into achieving whatever I put my mind to."

"After working with Christen, I got the tool kit that I had been missing and have now made my biggest dream come true of making my first Olympic Team."

"Working with Christen gave me the confidence to face my fears and the clarity to set big goals for myself. With her guidance, I've learned how to be my own biggest cheerleader."

"I worked with many sports psychologists in the past, and I never truly saw permanent improvement. In a short time working with Christen, I saw changes that have become concrete in my decision making and how I view myself. Working with her was one of the best decisions I could have made."

“Working with Coach Christen has helped me gain the perspective I needed to overcome my fears in practice and competitions. Christen taught me how to overcome negative self talk and transform my mental game. Working with Christen was the missing piece I needed to help regain my confidence.“

"Working with Christen has taught me to be honest with myself. She has taught me how to handle the pressure I feel behind the blocks, and how to “activate the angel” in my head. Now I feel more confident than ever."
