Amanda Ferranti on the field
Meet Amanda

I help soccer players handle the mental side of the game.

This generation of atheltes doesn't need more pressure. They need tools.

With 15+ years in private practice, I understand the mental limits around mistakes, playing time, injuries, coach feedback, recruitment, and performance.

I don't just tell athletes to "be confident." I help them recognize their patterns, reset after mistakes, and build real trust in themselves.

From the field

“We were honestly amazed. That growth mindset didn’t come from nowhere — it’s clear the work you’ve done with her has had a real, lasting impact. I told her I was more impressed with the character she showed than anything she could have done on the field. So thank you, truly.”
