English coach, athlete and language learner!
​Hey there! I'm Ashley.
I know firsthand the impact that language can have on your sports performance. Competing at a national or international level means engaging with a diverse range of people, and English is often the common thread that unites us.
Whether you’re strategizing with your team, conducting interviews, or connecting with other athletes or fans, English is a vital tool.
My goal is to help athletes and sports professionals like you break away from language barriers, so you can achieve your full potential, both in your professional and personal life.
Lifelong Athlete
My journey in sports began at age three with competitive swimming, leading me through basketball, soccer, and softball.
In 2006, I moved from North Carolina to Southern Spain, where I discovered my true passions: adventure racing and orienteering.
Now, I compete in endurance races that blend mountain biking, trail running, kayaking, and exciting activities like climbing and canyoning.
​
Empathizing Through Experience
As a language learner like you, I’ve navigated the challenges of speaking another language and competing in sports where I had to speak my second language, Spanish.
This allows me to truly empathize with my clients' struggles and celebrate their small (and big!) wins.
The Breakaway Advantage
In cycling, "breakaway" riders surge ahead of the main pack with courage and determination.
By strengthening your English skills, you can break away from language barriers and thrive in both your personal and athletic journeys.
Practical Skills with Relevant Language
Develop skills that empower you to communicate clearly in high-pressure situations, foster meaningful connections with other people in sports, and truly stand out in your field.
Tailored Expertise
I use my 20 years of experience in language education and my Masters degree in teaching foreign languages to design engaging, learner-centered programs focused on relevant, functional language for the sports world.
Form Meaningful Connections
Confidently engage with international teammates, coaches, and other competitors. Seize chances for interviews and networking that can elevate your sports career.
