8 Week Mindset Performance Program

The Mindset Performance Program is an 8-week training plan for your mind designed to help you move from self-doubt to self-belief. The goal is to create mental systems that work for you. Each session builds practical skills that translate directly into training and competition - goal setting, sharpening focus, managing pressure and performance anxiety, building confidence, and regulating emotions under stress. Through individualized, evidence-based strategies, you learn to reframe challenges, anchor yourself in routines and the present moment, and build the mental endurance needed to compete with clarity and confidence. By the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a personalized system and toolkit to perform at your best when it matters most.

Rachel M., Boston Qualifier

"Bridget helped me break through a mental barrier that had kept me from qualifying for the Boston Marathon for years! She helped me learn new tools and strategies to improve my mental game, and she taught me the importance of being prepared for anything over 26.2 miles."
