Résumé
Jennifer's educational background plays a large role in the person and professional she is today. Having experience as a NCAA Divison 1 athlete and an entrepreneur, she understands more closely the demands of both sport and business. Her educational training has enabled her to look more deeply at these demands and understand what strategies are best suited to successfully address them.
EDUCATION
- B.A in Psychology from Purdue University
- B.A in Communication Studies from Indiana University
- M.S in Kinesiology specializing in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Michigan State University
Jennifer remains committed to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of others through Continuing Education:
- Certified Personal Training Specialist (Can-Fit Pro)
- Certified Sport and Exercise Psychology Consultant (CSPA)
- Certified HeartMath® Provider (Institute for HeartMath®)
As a Sport and Exercise Psychology Consultant, a Licensed HeartMath® Provider, and a Wellness Consultant, Jennifer is dedicated to helping others understand the psychological barriers they encounter and what can be done to over come those barriers in order to achieve their maximum potential and live their best life possible.
In addition to working with athletes and executives, she works closely with exercisers to address such things as the mental barriers to exercise, emotional eating, over-exercising, self-confidence, and motivation. Through experience, she has found that the personal stressors that plague people often carry over to all areas of their lives, which leave them mentally, physically, and emotionally drained--this is hardly living their "best life" possible!
Sport psychology is the study of the psychological factors that affect participation and performance in sports. It is also a specialization within the brain psychology and kinesiology that seeks to understand psychological/mental factors that affect performance in sports, physical activitiy, and exercuse and apply these to enhance individual and team performance.
