About Me.
I'm Tessa. Registered nurse first, youth sports coach second, and I stopped pretending those are two different jobs a long time ago. Fifteen-plus years in healthcare and education taught me one thing: burnout doesn't show up as a big dramatic moment. It shows up as a kid getting quieter in the dugout. A parent going radio silent in the group chat. A coach who used to love this and now just survives the season. I hold a master's in mental health and wellness, and I've spent my career building the kind of systems that catch that stuff early, before it wrecks a team, a season, or a kid. You don't need another consultant with a framework. You need someone who's read the vitals and coached the bench, and knows those are the same skill.

What You Can Hire Me For
1. League Culture Audits. For administrators who need to know exactly where their league's culture is cracking, before it splits the season in half.
​
2. Team and Board Consulting. Sitting with your coaches, your board, your parent leadership, building the systems before the crisis, not after.
​
3. 1:1 Coaching for Coaches and Administrators. Someone in your corner who's actually done this job, not just read about it.
​
4. Speaking and Workshops. For conferences, coach trainings, and parent nights that need someone who tells the truth instead of running a highlight reel.
​
5. Custom Program Design. Building the actual policies, trainings, and onboarding that keep your league's culture from becoming everyone's problem.
