Dr. Brenna Chirby and Dr. Virginia Jones are licensed psychologists with over 20 years of combined experience in private practice. Dr. Chirby began her career as a Sports Psychologist at a major university athletic department. Together, they have built strong reputations helping teens and adults overcome mental health challenges.Drawing from both their clinical expertise and their personal experience as mothers of three athletic children each—who competed from youth sports through elite club and collegiate levels—they founded MindBalanceSPORT. Their unique approach combines traditional mental health strategies with practical mental performance training to help young athletes develop a healthier mindset and achieve optimal performance.After years of watching the intense “do more, be better, win at all costs” culture in youth sports—and noticing that no coach ever offered mental training across more than 20 teams—they created MindBalanceSPORT to fill this critical gap. They have seen far too many young athletes drop out due to stress, disengagement, lack of enjoyment, and injuries caused by overtraining.ParentShift course 30% OFF with the code TRIBE.
