“Our
team came within .025 of qualifying to NCAA Nationals in my
third season, but we just seemed to lack something in the
home stretch…some combination of mental toughness and
competitive confidence. Erica worked with us the following
season and her impact on my student-athletes was immediate
and obvious. She did a terrific job working with us though
the Fall using creative team building exercises and helping
us really to gel as a team. Once we got into the intense part
of the season she was our staff firefighter, helping us to
troubleshoot and work though a variety of sport psychology
issues on an individual and team basis. The most poignant
memory I have of her help was when it came down to a critical
lineup decision when we got to NCAA Regionals-Erica was instrumental
in helping us to put the right people in the right places
and the result was ourt first qualification to NCAA Nationals
as a team in the history of our school.”
