COLLEGE COACHING CONSULTANT
With a distinguished background in sports education, Cheryl McCormick provides top-tier consulting services tailored specifically for college coaches aiming to enhance both mental and physical performance for themselves and their athletes. Her approach is customized to meet the unique needs of each coach, focusing on maximizing their potential during the most demanding periods of the sports season.
​
Cheryl observes, "Many of the coaches I work with have limited time for personal care, often finding themselves neglecting both self-care and family obligations. This neglect can lead to illness and burnout, creating internal stress within families, and athletes can easily perceive when a coach is mentally preoccupied."

Cheryl McCormick has collaborated with numerous coaches, including Diego Bocanegra, the Head Soccer Coach at the University of Houston. If you are interested in her services, please reach out via email at cherylmccormick@gravitationalperformance.org

WORK WITH PARENTS OF ATHLETES
In today's youth sports landscape, the role of parents is increasingly pivotal. Coaches seek parental involvement to bolster support for student-athletes, yet many parents may lack the time, knowledge, or experience necessary to engage effectively. Cheryl McCormick addresses this gap by working closely with parents of athletes, providing education on key aspects of being a supportive sports parent and offering guidance on how to best assist and manage their young student-athletes' development.
WORK WITH YOUTH COACHES
The most successful coaches are those who remain committed to continuous learning in their respective disciplines. To support this, we offer premier consulting and educational resources for coaches at every level of sport.
Consider this scenario: you've dedicated years to reaching your current status as a coach, investing significant time and effort in maximizing your athletes' potential. Some of your athletes have advanced to collegiate sports, while others continue working under your guidance to achieve their dreams. You consistently give your all to your athletes, assistant coaches, athletic department, and the athletes' parents—but not to yourself or your family. Year after year, despite your winning streak, the demands of your profession begin to take their toll. Your athletes notice your short temper, and you struggle to maintain balance at home. When was the last time you focused on your own performance? I have observed this challenge among numerous coaches across various levels of sport. While some believe they have all the answers, others feel they lack the time for further learning. Yet, the issue remains: if you don’t invest in yourself to the same degree you invest in your athletes and staff, why should your athletes place their trust in you? My mission is to ensure you operate at your fullest potential while incorporating essential time for yourself.
WORK WITH THE ATHLETES
We provide comprehensive consulting and educational services tailored for athletes across all sports. Recognizing the importance of athletes being equipped to navigate challenging situations both mentally and physically, Cheryl McCormick is dedicated to supporting athletes throughout their athletic journeys.
"Mastering the regulation of emotions, mindset, rest and recovery, nutrition, and performance—while managing the other demanding aspects of a busy life—can be incredibly challenging without proper guidance," Cheryl explains. "My objective is to help you cultivate motivation and self-discipline, empowering you to excel in both your academic and athletic pursuits."
