I’m Liz Wood — a former athlete, coach, and mental performance consultant. I received my B.A. in Psychology at UT Chattanooga, where I competed on the Women's Basketball team. I went on to earn my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling while continuing to pour into the UTC Women's Basketball program as a graduate assistant. During this time, I also pursued additional training in Sport Psychology and worked closely with the Sports Counselor on staff at UTC. While completing my degree, I accepted a position as Assistant Women's Basketball Coach at Covenant College, where I served for two years before joining Crawford Performance Consulting.

​

Now, I am a mental performance coach passionate about empowering athletes and high-achievers to build an extraordinary life from the inside out. I help individuals uncover their identity beyond performance, so they can live purpose-driven lives and lead themselves well — both on and off the court.

I love walking alongside people in the midst of life’s challenges and pressure moments — because I believe that’s where the most powerful growth happens. Together, we build a real, research-backed toolkit for mental toughness: self-talk, mindfulness, confidence building, arousal regulation, visualization, and more. I work with athletes ages 12 and up, as well as high-achieving individuals of all ages who are ready to elevate their inner game.

​

Chattanooga has been home since 2017 — the perfect city for all of my passions! I’m most alive when I’m outside: on the water, hiking, running, or exploring with friends. I’m also deeply passionate about fitness and love empowering others in their own health journey. I coach at F45, and personally stay sharp by training for HYROX, doing Pilates, yoga, strength training, and anything that challenges me mentally and physically.

I am available for virtual sessions for clients and teams across the U.S. I am also available in-person for individual and team sessions in Chattanooga, TN. 

 

Wherever you’re starting, I believe you have what it takes — and I’m here to help you rise.
