Game day
is here.
After months of preparation, nerves are normal before you compete.
But they should be about your performance–not whether you'll understand your coach’s instructions, find the right words to motivate your athletes, or make a mistake in English in the post competition interview.
You’re at the top of your game, and you’re ready to step onto the international stage.
Now, it’s time to make sure your English keeps pace.
There’s a reason English feels harder than a hill session…
You haven't trained it for the situations you’ll actually handle in sports.
Many methods help you learn English. But they don't help you use it to...
-
give instructions in an intense match
-
explain a strategy
-
speak on live TV with the press
-
or interview for a role on an international team.
That's why I don't use a generic plan with elite athletes and sports professionals.
We train the skills you actually need in your world.
LET'S START TRAINING
PEAK PERFORMANCE COMMUNICATION
Whether you want to prepare for your dream job with an international team, feel more integrated with your teammates, or show that you’re a leader both on and off the field–whatever comes next, your English shouldn't hold you back.
Peak Performance Communication is my personalized 1:1 coaching program for sports professionals who want their English to keep pace with their career.
We'll work together to develop the communication skills that matter most to you and the situations you're preparing for.
Hey! I'm Ashley.
I know what it's like to compete
your second language.
I'm an athlete who has spent years living in Spain and competing in Spanish—and a language coach with 20 years of experience helping people communicate in another language.
I know how it feels to speak another language under pressure in the middle of a competition, then continue making a mental effort to understand and participate in the conversation afterwards.
In short, I know this world from both sides.
So instead of sharing a vocabulary list with 10 word "sports" words to memorize each week, we train how to speak, express yourself, and understand English so it doesn't limit your sports career.

Retired football player, Utah Royals
World Champion (Spain 2023)
I spent one year in the USA and couldn't find a teacher that really helped me with this language, that is so difficult. Ashley understood me and had the patience to adapt to my life as an elite athlete. She understands my world because she's an athlete too.

Ashley's method was a new experience for me. It's personal, professiona and adapted to my needs as a sports psychologist. It was easy to apply everything we worked on in our sessions to my day to day work.

Basketball Coach,
NBA G-League (Rip City Remix)
Working with Ashley is an excellent experience. She adapts well to the profile of her students and their specific needs related to sports. We had a great connection and I saw a lot of progress in just a few weeks. After 6 months of working with her, I can definitely say that I improved not only my fluency in English, but also my comprehension. I definitely recommend working with her!
Why "Breakaway"?
In cycling, a breakaway is when a rider or group of riders escapes from the main group to fight for the victory in a race. It shows courage, confidence, and the willingness to take risks.
That’s exactly what I help you do: break away from whatever is holding your English back and build the communication skills to help you build the international career you’ve always dreamed of.
Ready to communicate at the same level you compete?
