every high performer has a version of these thoughts. the difference isn’t that they go away — it’s that you learn to reframe them in real time.

that’s the skill. and it’s trainable with us! 🤎

what’s the “what if” that comes up most for you?

march madness is ONE WEEK AWAY — and while everyone’s checking their busted brackets, we’ll be watching something a little different 🏀

as mental performance practitioners, here’s what we’re keeping an eye on this year:
→ how players & coaches react to referee calls and other uncontrollable factors
→ momentum teams that carry untouchable confidence into every game
→ high intensity, pressure moments and how players respond in real time
→ self-talk, imagery, visualization, resilience, and leadership on full display
→ team huddles, body language, and how teammates show up for each other after mistakes

and our bracket picks? South Carolina taking it all for the women 🐓 and Duke for the men 🔵

but here’s what we really want you to remember while you’re watching 🤍

these are college students. most are 18-23 year olds performing on a national stage, carrying the weight of their teams, their schools, and millions of strangers’ brackets on their shoulders. they are human first, athletes second — cheer loud. but cheer with kindness. ✨

who do you have winning it all? drop your picks below!

For International Women’s Day we wanted to share personal moments with women that inspire & support Off Day every day 🤎

It truly is beautiful what sports can do, most of these women I met through playing basketball and they’ve changed my life forever! My husband and I met through playing both our sports in university and sports have been the biggest blessing of my life! My relationship with sports hasn’t always been in a positive space but I am extremely grateful today especially that sports brought so many amazing women into my life 🤎

Cheers in celebrating these women and many more today and every day! Happy International Women’s Day 🤎

Because being an athlete is a big part of who you are, but it’s not ALL you are! It can be all consuming we know, but we are here to remind you there’s more to YOU than your performance - whether it be work, school, or a sport. It does not define you!

Build passions, relationships, and goals beyond your sport! It can truly only help on and off the court 🤍

Over the past 3 years, one message has always stayed at the heart of what we do: athletes are more than their performance! We can’t wait to celebrate with you on Saturday, March 7th and give back to this loving Off Day community! Make sure to check our socials on Saturday 🤎

What if? A question we find ourselves asking frequently when pressure builds and the outcome feels uncertain!

We challenge you to flip the script next time your mind is doubtful and ask “what if it all works out just fine?” 🤍

This small mindset shift can be useful before a performance, after a mistake, when returning to play following an injury and more — connect with us if you’d like to explore further 😊

This coming Saturday, March 7th marks 3 YEARS OF OFF DAY!!! We have something very exciting planned, so make sure to keep an eye on our socials this week ✨

We could all take a few pointers from Stanley on rest & recovery 🥹

When you’re pushing yourself and striving to reach your goals it can be hard to remember to SLOW DOWN & rest - this is your gentle reminder 😊 Burnout is REAL, rest & recovery is crucial in the performance process! In order to perform at your best and reach those goals you need down time, here are some ideas for rest & recovery time:

• take a nap, get 8+ hrs of sleep!
• cold/hot tub recovery - @theloungecdf 🤝
• journaling, reading, light walking
• meditation and/or deep breathing
• massage, gentle yoga or stretching
• spend time outdoors & hydrate!

Connect with us if you’d like to talk more about rest & recovery🔋

unfortunately, most athletes go through an injury at some point throughout their career - injuries can come in all different forms but no matter what, the athlete needs to be supported 🤍

If anyone has any questions or comments on how to best support your teammate or friend going through an injury, we are always here! The photos featured were kindly shared from @_gabihaack, who tore her ACL in her 5th and final year of college basketball - one of the strongest humans we know!!! She is a great connection for any athlete going through a similar ACL experience! We see you. We hear you. We support you! 🤍

Everyone’s happy place is different, ours is here with the rolling waves & sunsets 🌅

Imagine feeling that peace & calmness anytime, anywhere - that’s what we can help you build. Take time to think about your own calm, happy place within your own mind & comment what you come up with 😊

Practice: Flawless
Game: ???
The problem isn't your skill or talent. It's about mental performance under pressure.

The difference between practice and competition:
•Higher stakes = higher anxiety
•More eyes watching = more self-consciousness
•Fear of judgment overrides your training
•Overthinking replaces instinct

With Off Day we can work on:
•Developing pre-performance routines that create consistency
•Building mental cues that keep you present (not in your head)
•Practicing performing under simulated pressure
•Separating your self-worth from your performance outcomes
•Train your focus to stay on process, not results

These skills will give you the ultimate advantage to be the in-game player you know you can be!

Who else is different in practice vs competition? I know I was ... 😅

now more than ever SPREAD THE LOVE 🤍 swipe for a surprise at the end 🥰

yes, it’s Valentine’s Day, but don’t be afraid to practice spreading love every day - tell your friends, family, loved ones, teammates, athletic trainers, and coaches that you appreciate them! Most importantly, put time into learning to love yourself! Appreciate the unique things about yourself that make you, YOU!

all our energy went into this day, not only for ourselves but to be present with our loved ones 🤍 we are so happy to share these moments with you and hope you can feel the love we felt on this day 🤍

throughout wedding week there were most definitely off days but with communication, love & support we made it happen! It was by no means perfect but what mattered most was soaking in time with our people and each other! and we did exactly that 😊 if anyone ever has any questions or wants to talk wedding - we are here for it! lots of different stressors were present throughout 2 years of planning and anyone that’s planned or is planning a wedding knows it can be an up & down process 🤍 no matter what - we are here 😊

excited to be more present with off day soon & we hope everyone is having a great summer 🤍 see you sooooon! 🤎

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF OFF DAY PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY WITH YOU!!! 🥳

this year has had many ups & downs! we’ve crossed oceans and navigated it all by taking it one day at a time. there is still SO much to learn and so much room for progress! patience is a skill we are still working on here at Off Day 🤍 thank YOU for supporting and following along with us! 🤎

check out our story if you would like an Off Day journal and we are excited to see where we will be in another year 😊

I HEAR YOU.
it isn’t always easy or fun, and it hurts when things don’t go your way.
the process may not be what you expected.
your voice and feelings matter.

I SEE YOU.
working everyday to be the best version of yourself as an athlete and as a person.
putting in extra time, energy and effort to perform.
for more than a jersey number, race number, or result.
for what you value, love and appreciate in life.

I SUPPORT YOU.
along your journey to achieve your goals.
in finding and doing what makes you happy.
in believing in yourself even if odds are against you.

you are never alone! you are one of a kind and I’m here to remind you of that!

This time of the year has lots of ups & downs, stress & joy, feelings of love & loss - through the good & the bad, Off Day is always here & sending you love this holiday season! We hope everyone has a great week, and takes time to celebrate progressing through another year 🤍 cheers!! 🥂

PARENTS, GUARDIANS, ROLE MODELS, COACHES - everyone that has an influence on young athletes please read 🤍

early experiences in sport stick for a lifetime and can really alter perceptions of self, sports and even exercise! 🧠

BIG question! 😅
As someone that is passionate about this topic and continues to go through this myself, here are some tips that can help foster a healthy transition out of competitive sport.
After 17 years of playing basketball, I felt life slow down and it can be uncomfortable BUT there is beauty in the change. I’m always here to be a part of your life team & support you on your journey - I know first hand it’s hard!

first day of september! New month, possibly new school year, maybe a new job. Take time to reflect on the goals you want to achieve, and the steps it will take to get there! Here are some journal prompts to get you thinking …

• what outcome goals do you hope to achieve? why?

• what are process goals along the way? what do you anticipate may get in your way? how might you overcome these obstacles?

• how will you support yourself and take care of yourself (mentally, physically, emotionally) along the way?

WRITE IT OUT, hang it up where you can see it and achieve those goals! 💪

It can be really easy to focus on what you cannot control - referees, other players, coaches, coworkers, boss, the outcome of a game or project.

This week I challenge you to focus on these 3 things within your control: attitude, energy and effort ‼️
Learning how to focus on your controllables is a step in the right direction in enjoying the sport performance or career performance process!

As always DM with thoughts or questions, and if you want more info on a free intake session 😊 crush this week 💪

Lots of questions coming up this time of year!
Here are some updates: Master of Education in Sport & Exercise Psychology complete ☑️
Next, I will be studying for CMPC and on the move doing workshops for high schools while also being an available practitioner with @thegameonapp !
Lots of stress and excitement can be circling around this time of year, you’re not alone and I’m here to help! Contact offdaypsych@gmail.com if you want to learn more 😊 CONGRATS TO ALL THE GRADS!

Asking for a friend .. 👀 What do you think about your sport of choice or any position in which there is an emphasis on performance?

Mental training 🤝 physical training

Reach out if you want to talk more about it 🧠

My thoughts behind the name and a personal picture of me having an off day…

I hope I can be a resource for anyone that wants to talk more about sport psychology or has any questions! I’ve devoted 6 years to studying and applying it along with playing collegiate basketball at 3 schools, each at a different division level!
