OUR STORY
Time to meet your coaches.
RPM, we combine decades of real-world experience, professional training, and a shared passion for unlocking human potential. With over 20 years of combined work in performance psychology and coaching, we’ve helped athletes, artists, leaders, teams, and organizations break through mental barriers, build resilience, and elevate their performance in every arena of life.
Raised in the high-pressure world of Southern California athletics, both Joe and Kaysee learned early what it feels like to compete, to face expectations, and to navigate the emotional weight of wanting to excel. Joe, a former collegiate athlete, and Kaysee, a standout competitor whose career shifted after a major injury, both experienced firsthand the mental battles behind high performance. Those experiences became the foundation for their mission today: helping others perform with purpose, confidence, and freedom.
As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) and performance mindset coaches, Joe and Kaysee bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and elite performance experience. They’ve coached NFL and NCAA athletes, CrossFit champions, Olympic hopefuls, college-bound recruits, artists, entrepreneurs, and high-performance leaders. Their backgrounds span sports psychology labs, recovery programs, mental health services, and consulting for teams and organizations—giving them a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
Their coaching bridges the gap between skill and mindset, talent and confidence, passion and performance. Whether someone is stepping onto a field, a stage, or into a boardroom, Joe and Kaysee help them turn pressure into clarity, setbacks into growth, and self-doubt into momentum.
Together, they bring a grounded, eclectic, and relational approach—meeting clients exactly where they are, empowering them in their present, and partnering with them to shape their future.
At RPM, we don’t just coach.
We connect. We equip. We transform.
Because when your mindset changes, everything changes.
What sets us apart from the rest.

Our clinical psychology background provides a powerful foundation for understanding and enhancing the mindset of athletes. By addressing the mental and emotional challenges that can impact performance—such as anxiety, self-doubt, and focus—we offer evidence-based strategies that go beyond surface-level techniques. We help athletes develop resilience, improve self-awareness, and create healthier thought patterns that lead to consistent, high-level performance. Combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of the unique demands of sports, we equip athletes with the tools to navigate pressure, build confidence, and achieve a stronger connection between mind and body.

Tools and strategies from performance psychology are essential for shaping the mindset of an athlete. They provide a framework for managing pressure, staying focused, and turning challenges into opportunities for growth. By incorporating techniques like visualization, positive self-talk, and goal-setting, athletes can build confidence, enhance resilience, and maintain clarity in high-stake situations. These tools help athletes shift their mindset from reactive to proactive, equipping them to face competition with composure and consistency. The right strategies not only improve performance but also foster a healthier relationship with the athlete’s performance self, ensuring long-term success on and off the field

We believe the synergy between the right coach, the right personality, and a personal connection is essential to unlocking an athlete’s mindset. A coach who understands the unique needs of each athlete and connects with them on a personal level can foster trust, build confidence, and create a safe space for growth. It’s not just about knowledge or technique—it’s about meeting athletes where they are, understanding their individual challenges, and guiding them with empathy and encouragement. When the relationship clicks, it creates a foundation for open communication, motivation, and lasting mental resilience, setting the stage for success both on and off the field
