High-stakes leadership and performance should not feel like survival.

Dr. Dee Ann Schnautz provides mental performance coaching for educational leaders and Western athletes who want to stay steady under pressure, think clearly, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

With years of experience coaching principals, teachers, and leaders, along with ICF-aligned coaching training through the Western Integrity Coaching Academy, Dee brings a practical, supportive, and real-life approach to coaching.

This coaching is especially designed for:

• principals and assistant principals

• teacher leaders and instructional coaches

• educators navigating leadership, change, pressure, or decision fatigue

• Western athletes and rodeo competitors

• riders returning to competition or working through confidence, consistency, or performance pressure

Many of the people Dee works with are capable, committed, and used to carrying a lot. On the outside, they may look like they are handling everything. On the inside, they may feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, stuck in overthinking, inconsistent in confidence, or emotionally stretched from the pressure they carry.

Coaching provides a confidential, structured space to slow down, reflect honestly, think clearly, and develop practical tools for real-life leadership and performance.

What We May Work On

Together, we may focus on:

• mental performance

• confidence under pressure

• decision-making

• emotional regulation

• overthinking and self-doubt

• leadership clarity

• communication and boundaries

• preparation, focus, and follow-through

• consistency in the roles and responsibilities that matter most

• steady growth in leadership, riding, competition, or performance

This is not one-size-fits-all coaching. Your coaching experience is shaped around your goals, your pressure points, and the real-life situations you are navigating.

Coaching for Educational Leaders

Educational leadership can be deeply meaningful and deeply demanding.

Principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, and instructional coaches are often expected to support everyone else while also making decisions, managing pressure, building trust, navigating conflict, and leading through change.

Mental performance coaching gives educational leaders space to pause, think clearly, and develop practical strategies for the real challenges they face.

Coaching may support educational leaders who want to:

• lead with greater clarity and confidence

• reduce overthinking and second-guessing

• make decisions with more steadiness

• strengthen communication and boundaries

• navigate pressure, change, or conflict

• stay grounded while supporting staff, students, and families

• build sustainable leadership habits that do not feel like survival

Coaching for Western Athletes

Western athletes know pressure.

Whether you are competing, returning after an injury, rebuilding confidence, moving up a level, or trying to stay consistent in the arena, performance is not only physical. It is mental, emotional, and relational.

Mental performance coaching helps Western athletes slow down, notice patterns, strengthen confidence, and develop tools they can use before, during, and after competition.

Coaching may support Western athletes who want to:

• build confidence under pressure

• manage nerves, fear, or frustration

• recover mentally after a hard run, mistake, injury, or setback

• improve focus and preparation

• stop overthinking before competing

• develop a steadier performance mindset

• ride, compete, and grow with more clarity and purpose
