Beyond performance. cultivate purpose. build champions.

 

Go beyond physical training to cultivate self-driven, resilient athletes.

Is Your Athletes’ Mental Game Holding Back Their True Potential?

In today’s competitive youth sports landscape, coaches and parents face immense pressure to produce winning teams and top performers. But what happens when the focus is only on performance?

  • The Burnout Trap: Athletes feel overwhelmed, lose passion, and drop out.

  • Identity Crisis: Their self-worth becomes tied solely to their stats, leaving them vulnerable to slumps, injuries, and post-sport struggles.

  • Lack of Intrinsic Drive: They rely on external motivation (winning, accolades) instead of tapping into their own purpose.

  • Difficult Conversations: Navigating injuries, setbacks, and personal challenges without a framework for holistic support.

You’re dedicated to their success, but traditional coaching often lacks the tools to build their inner game – their identity, purpose, and lifelong resilience.

Hi! I’m Melissa Perry

I’m not just a coach—I’m someone who’s been where you are.

I’m a runner, coach, entrepreneur, wife, and mother, and a woman who’s profoundly rediscovered my identity and purpose through stillness and rest. My own journey began after experiencing burnout from collegiate basketball, where my entire identity was wrapped up in the sport, leaving me feeling lost. I’ve felt the weight of self-doubt and the exhaustion of striving, a challenge I know many coaches and parents see in their own athletes struggling to connect their identity beyond performance. But it was running that gave me the clarity and freedom to truly rediscover myself—and it ultimately fueled me to build three successful businesses while conquering marathons! I’ve had the privilege of coaching high school girls’ varsity cross country, start run clubs, and help countless women—from teens to CEOs—find their purpose and build incredible businesses. My mission with Sole Equity is to guide you, coaches and parents, on this journey to freedom, helping you and your athletes discover true identity and purpose while running toward your goals.

Let’s Address Those hesitations:

  • “I don’t have time to add more to my plate.” Sole Equity isn’t about adding more work, but integrating smarter practices. Our tools seamlessly fit your schedule, boosting efficiency by tackling root causes of disengagement and mental blocks.
  • “How will this actually improve performance and wins?” We focus on the inner game because it directly translates to the scoreboard. Purpose-driven athletes are more resilient, intrinsically motivated, and recover faster, leading to consistent peak performance and more team success.
  • “I’m not trained in psychology. I don’t feel qualified.” You don’t need to be a psychologist. Our certification provides practical, coach-friendly tools and frameworks to guide meaningful discussions and foster growth. We teach you how to facilitate, not diagnose.
  • “My current coaching methods work just fine.” That’s amazing – Sole Equity elevates your existing methods, equipping you to tackle modern challenges like mental health pressures and burnout, ensuring sustained excellence and lifelong resilience.
