About Mandy Patterson Coaching
At Mandy Patterson Coaching, our mission is to help athletes overcome mental blocks and fears so they can rediscover confidence, pursue their goals, and experience authentic joy in their sport and life.
Founded by Mandy Patterson, MPC specializes in supporting cheerleaders and gymnasts struggling with fear, anxiety, confidence issues, and mental blocks.
Mandy’s journey began as a former cheerleader, gymnastics and tumbling coach, and D1 competitive cheer athlete who personally experienced mental blocks and perfectionism throughout her athletic career. Today, she combines that lived experience with professional training as a Certified Mental Game Coaching Professional to help athletes navigate challenges faster and healthier than she once did.
We believe athletes are people first and athletes second. Our goal is not to create champions at any cost. Our goal is to help athletes thrive both in sport and in life.
