Meet Our Founder
Hi, I’m Kara!
I’ve spent over 30 years in the world of competitive sports—as an athlete, coach and director. Sports have shaped so much of who I am, but it’s the ups and downs along the way that truly taught me about resilience. I was diagnosed with cancer at 14, became a mom to a micro preemie at 29, and through it all, I’ve learned how powerful the mind can be.
Now, I help youth athletes build confidence, overcome mental blocks, and develop the mindset tools they need to thrive—not just in sports, but in life. My mental strategy program comes straight from experience, heart, and a deep belief that mindset can change everything.
We can help.
More Than Skill is on a mission to guide athletes, coaches, and parents in unlocking the power of the mind for unmatched success.
Throughout Kara's own life challenges, she discovered that when the body couldn't keep up, the mind became her greatest ally. During long stretches of being bedridden, she honed the art of controlling her thoughts and emotions, holding onto the promise of brighter days.
This journey ignited a passion: realizing that real perseverance begins in the mind, long before it shows up in the body. Today, we're thrilled to share the revelation that mentality forms the cornerstone of athletic and personal growth. Let's rewrite the game plan together, one mindset shift at a time!
Let's do it!
