Helping entrepreneurs, executives, and sports professionals develop a best-in-class mental game.

This isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about refining what’s already great. My clients are already:

  • driven

  • capable

  • and successful

Coaching helps them go further by leveling up and developing an inner game that drives performance, clarity, and sustainable growth.

The Inner Game of Leadership

Every great leader reaches a point where execution alone isn’t enough. The next level comes from strengthening the mindset behind the strategy — building the capacity to handle pressure, trust your instincts, and make high-impact decisions without losing focus or energy, while also defining what leadership looks like on your own terms.

I work with founders, executives, and sports professionals across industries to sharpen their inner game so they can lead with purpose and composure. My clients range from bootstrapped entrepreneurs to venture backed startups and boutique hedge funds.

About Madeline

Before becoming a mindset and performance coach, I spent the first chapter of my career as an investor at Anthos Capital, a multi-billion-dollar growth equity firm. Over five years, I evaluated thousands of companies and championed four investments: two are now nine-figure businesses, one exited for a 3x return on capital, and one is redefining cancer treatment through advancements in spatial biology. I also served as the firm’s first head of business  operations and strategy.

Today, I draw from that experience by combining neuroscience, behavioral frameworks, organizational and sports psychology, and human insight to help clients navigate the mindset shifts that fuel top performance.

Every client is different. Coaching with me isn’t a template; it’s a partnership built around your goals, personality, and the challenges unique to your journey.

What Clients Are Saying

  • Right after we launched, I started working with Madeline. I wasn’t seeking a coach; it just happened. And it has been one of my best investments in the last six months. We have navigated my self-doubt, understood the why behind it, and started to build fantastic habits. I now better understand myself and the why behind many of my fears and stress. Madeline coached me out of some of the deepest valleys of my professional career - and I am super thankful for her.

  • My dreams have become more realistic to me, they have returned back to their original inspiration and are less motivated by fear of failure. I have faith, and that faith creates action. Ultimately, whether I knew it or not, I began wanting to validate my fears. I leave coaching having not validated them, but chosen my aspirations instead. I didn’t know that mindset shift was out there. I certainly didn’t know I was capable of it.

  • What truly sets Madeline apart is her dedication to the craft of coaching. She actively listens and tailors her approach to each session, ensuring it’s personalized and impactful. Her commitment to continuous learning is evident—she frequently brings new techniques, theories, and examples into our work together. I have additionally loved her blog and it is clear she is weaving in learnings from these interviews into her coaching sessions.

  • I’ve worked with several executive / founder coaches and Madeline is top of class in what she does. Growing a startup as a founder / CEO is immensely hard and requires constant growth and self re-imagining. Madeline has helped me recognize blockers, create thoughtful plans to develop new traits, and continually followed up until I was successful. She is extremely good at inner coaching, helping me pull my intuition and values into recognized form, while at the same time pointing out patterns that may be holding me back. It’s been high enough value that I’ve had multiple of my execs start working with her, all of whom came back feeling much more capable at tackling their growing scope and responsibilities as we scaled.

Subscribe to my Substack newsletter, 90% Mental, where I explore what it means to build a strong mental game “on the court,” at the office, and in life through original essays and interviews with entrepreneurs, leaders, athletes, academics, and sports professionals.

The name is inspired by a quote that has been attributed to Hall of Fame catcher and legendary Yankees player Yogi Berra. Berra is quoted as saying, “Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.” While the percentages were clearly made in jest, Berra’s point remains a sound one. There is no doubt that  skill, talent, and aptitude play an incredibly important role in success. However, a well-developed mental game can make the difference between good and becoming great. I believe that this isn’t just true in the realm of sports but also in the arenas of leadership, entrepreneurship, and life.

I previously wrote a blog called No Directions which you can view here.
