Coach Suzi Freeman
Specialists live in the space between waiting and execution.
My work is built for that reality, helping kickers, punters, and long snappers trust their training, quiet the noise, and execute when one rep matters.
The work goes deeper than mindset.
Pressure rarely comes from one place. It can show up as overthinking, forcing, hesitation, loss of trust, fear of the next miss, or trying to control an outcome.
My job is to identify the pattern underneath the performance problem, then coach the athlete at that level.
WHAT MAKES THE WORK DIFFERENT
►We find the real pattern
Not just what happened on the rep, but what is driving it.
► The work is individualized
We build routines, resets, and mental strategies around the athlete, not a generic system.
►We train for transfer
The goal is to execute when the moment gets loud.
► We can go deeper when needed
We use NLP, hypnosis, and other performance techniques strategically to create change faster.
►The athlete learns to self-correct
So he becomes less dependent on outside reassurance and better able to manage himself.

HIGH-TOUCH, FULLY CUSTOM COACHING
Private Coaching
Private coaching is my most individualized level of work.
Everything is built around the athlete, from the coaching plan and performance tools to a private Mental Performance Dashboard inside the app, customized with the routines, recordings, prompts, reset strategies, and resources that the athlete needs most.
I typically work in three or six-month programs because the strongest transformations take time to identify the deeper pattern, change it, and train the new response until it holds under pressure.
Why It Works
The work is highly personal, highly responsive, and built around what is happening in the athlete’s performance right now.
For athletes dealing with an urgent issue, I also offer SOS sessions. These are designed for situations that need quick attention, and we can often make major progress in a very short window, sometimes within a few days.
