"We were lucky enough to have Coach Herrick work with our team for 2 years. She met with the team and focused on mental skills, team building. The mental side of sport is so critical, especially team sports. I was impressed how Brittany helped the team see and understand how other teammates might be feeling or understanding things. Although I was not present for the meetings which allows the players to open up I could see the difference of teamwork on and off the court. It was extremely helpful that Brittany had also been a coach because she can help the players understand how and why coaches say and do things. 

 

Team building is a must for all teams but when it is player led it is a game changer for your team.  She helped our team understand that and take a larger role in where our team wanted to be on and off the court.

​

She also met with small groups and individually with our players.  My players thought this was helpful and it surprised them how helpful it was.  It was a safe place to talk about their feelings about their teammates, coaches and their personal performance. Self doubt can be overlooked by coaches and I am thankful Brittany could help them through that and teach them how to overcome and succeed. I am hoping to have Brittany work with my teams consistently.  Her expertise helps my program improve in areas I am not knowledgeable or trained for".
