INNER PERFORMANCE:
1-1 COACHING FOR ATHLETES
What if the sport performance you've been chasing was always already within you?
Performance is state dependent.
When you perform from fear, pressure, force or doubt, your nervous system compresses. This looks like coordination tightening, instinct disappearing and the talent you've spent years developing can't get through.
But when the interference within the nervous system is cleared, subconscious beliefs are rewired, the stored tension released, the need for external validation dissolved. Your peak performance can appear naturally.
This is State Training™. Flow isn't luck or random, it is a trainable state.
That state is already there, ready for you to uncover. And from that place your talent finally gets to show up easily and effortlessly.
Free. Instinctive. Joyful.
This is for the athlete that has tried mental skills or talk therapy and still there is a block in their performance.
Every athlete arrives differently, the arc of the work follows the same direction: inward first, then outward.
Step 1 — We map the system. Understanding how your nervous system responds to pressure. Where state breaks down. What specific patterns are firing under competition conditions that aren't firing in training. You can't clear what you haven't seen clearly.
Step 2 — We clear the interference. Using Timeline Therapy and NLP we go to the root of the subconscious patterns. The beliefs, the stored experiences, the automatic responses that have been driving your performance in the background. This is where the deepest shifts happen.
Step 3 — We release what the body is holding. Through somatic practice and breathwork we work with the physical patterns - the chronic tension, the braced movement, the stored stress responses that block fluid, instinctive performance. Your body has been holding the history of every high-pressure moment, we release it and rewire it to your specific sport and environment.
Step 4 — We train your natural flow state. With the interference cleared we build the skills - state awareness, state regulation under pressure, the ability to access flow state quickly and deliberately. Training the conditions that make it inevitable that you will perform under pressure in your sport.
WHAT CHANGES
You stops performing from fear and flow becomes your natural performance state.
The gap between training performance and competition performance closes, not because you trained harder, but because the interference was removed.
You stand on the field and feel fully yourself. Not managing nerves, suppressing doubt, or white-knuckling composure. You become in flow, present, instinctive and free.
Sport becomes something you do from love again and from that state your performance naturally up-levels.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This work is for the athlete who:
Is doing everything and still feels like something is missing.
Who performs better in training than in competition and can't understand why
Who overthinks, tightens, or hesitates in moments, even though you are fully prepared
Who is exhausted from performing from pressure and ready for another way
Who knows somewhere deep and certain that she is good enough and is ready to finally let her performance reflect that

TAYLA WHITE
Tayla White, former New Zealand hockey player & now Mind-Body Performance Coach. After overcoming her own journey of chronic illness and burnout to return to play sport at the highest level, Tayla now that supports others do the same, achieve their greatest goals through a new way of being - alignment not force.
I combine both scientific understanding and the lived experience. I've walked this path myself - from pushing through pain to embracing my body's wisdom, from force to flow, from burnout to sustainable excellence.
If I can do it, so can you!
You've spent long enough trying to earn something that was always yours.
The talent is there, the passion is there, you were always good enough! This is just the work of finally letting your performance show it.
She went from performing from anxiety to performing from herself. "My sessions with Tayla have been life changing. I have struggled with anxiety and pressure through my sport and it was getting the better of me. I now feel like myself again, having a calm outlook on life and my sport. Which has completely changed my performance." — International Hockey Player
