KM Coaching
Stay On top Of Your Game
Kultured Mindful Coaching is focused on the mental training of athletes. I work with individual athletes, as well as teams, to create comfortable, educational, uplifting, mental preparation for their sport. I believe It is important to be mindful of every individual and what he/she needs. Through mental coaching, I help athletes to reach their highest performance levels, embrace their passion, and find the drive they need to succeed. Developing a strong set of mental skills helps dial in focus and build confidence. Mental Skills Training is for the athlete or team that is ready to take control of their mental game.
About Me
KIM CRUZ, MENTAL SKILLS COACH
My name is Kim Cruz my passion lies in helping athletes and teams achieve their goals through mental skills coaching. As a former athlete myself I know how important the mental side of sports is to an athletes confidence and performance. I strongly believe that by developing a strong set of mental skills athletes can dial in their focus, build confidence, and perform at their highest potential. As a mental skills coach, the scope of my practice is to help an athlete with the mental side of sport by teaching techniques such as visualization, mindfulness, and goal setting. I can also provide education on mental wellness, and help with any speed bumps an athlete might encounter during their athletic career. I worked for the University of Colorado for a summer gaining the knowledge of how college athletics work. During this time I was able to interact with collegiate athletes and gain knowledge of different sports and the mental aspects of each. I also worked for the National Football League for 12 years and gained invaluable knowledge of the dedication, commitment, passion, and integrity it takes to compete at the highest level.
Formal Education Background:
Bachelor's degree in English Communications from Fort Lewis College
Master’s degree in Sport Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.
MY WINNING PHILOSOPHY
Athletes will be interested in the work that I will provide for them, because I have a unique way of building rapport by being myself, as well as being upfront. My approach will be different with each client because every athlete is different. As a mental skills coach I will aim to create an environment of comfort and trust. I will use my expertise in techniques and skills to further my client’s mental skills.
Mental skills are a form of practice that can enhance the physical aspect of play for an athlete. The skills that I provide can also be life skills as well. I will also strive to show empathy, sympathy and care. By working with me it will be a comfort zone where confidentiality is kept and my client will come first. My research and knowledge in the field will stay up to date to help my client in any area they need in mental skills for their sport.
Mental skills coaching is a great way to be able to assist my clients everyday to build a positive and uplifting setting. My vision is to let the client know that their performance enhancement is all about them and I just carry the tools that will help them on the mental aspect of practice.
Testimonials
Alynah
Coach Kim taught us the mental side of things and got on a personal level with us that made us buy into the process and the biggest goal of all a State Championship. Coach Kim's dedication to our team was tremendous and her amount of effort she put into making sure we bonded outside of softball and that made us closer because we could all trust each other on and off the field

Coach Kym bettered our mindsets, our communication, and helped us become overall better people. She was a part of the team, and was a significant help to us all.

Playing in the championship game for softball was a dream since my first day of high school. The biggest reason this goal was turned into a reality was Coach Kim Cruz. She had different exercises for us as a team to complete so we could all grow in our mental game. I firmly believe that because of our mental status that it gave us an edge on other teams. I know for me personally Coach Kim was the reason I was able to keep my composure on the mound during games throughout the year.
