Will Martel
I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO where I watched my father coach soccer and witnessed my mother's example of empathy and positivity. Both of their influences inspired me to want to become a mental performance coach.
I’ve been coaching for 10 years now. I’ve coached both genders and ages 2-25; I have been fortunate enough to coach in settings such as clubs, schools, state associations, semi-pro, and pro environments. You can see a list of my experiences and education below.
My background is driven by a player-focused model. I decided to obtain my M.S. in Sport Psychology so that I could provide more valuable tools for the people I serve.
I am currently based in St. Louis, but can help you or your team no matter where you’re at. Just reach out!
