Performance coach for footballers — from pressure into presence.

Amy Elizabeth is a performance and energy coach for professional footballers and NFL athletes. Coaching since 2010, she works beneath mindset — with nervous-system regulation, presence and energy — so players perform from coherence rather than depletion. Clients have included DK Metcalf, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford. She works remotely worldwide and in person.

Beneath the Game

Talent is rarely the problem. Coherence is.

At the top of the game, every player is fit, skilled and well coached. What separates the moments that define a career is quieter: whether the nervous system is settled enough to see the pass, whether the body trusts itself after an injury, whether a player can carry the noise of a transfer window, a contract year or a bad run of form without losing their own signal.

That is where Amy works. As an energy coach for professional footballers, she does not add another framework to an already crowded week. Through energy, attunement and resonance, she tends to the layer beneath language — the frequency, emotional patterns and inner architecture that shape how a player shows up before a single thought or tactic arrives. Mental performance coaching in football often stops at routines and self-talk. This work goes underneath them, so that presence becomes natural rather than forced.

Amy has been coaching since August 2010 and founded Choose Evolution Coaching Solutions in 2012. Her clients include elite athletes across the NFL and European football. She is currently Executive Performance Coach at ProperGP, a fund that plans to acquire football clubs — bringing the same work to the people who lead and build clubs, not only to the players on the pitch.

Who It’s For

Built for the ones who carry the game.

  • Professional footballers in the Premier League and across European football.
  • NFL athletes and elite competitors in other professional sports.
  • Players navigating injury, transfers, contract years or the end of a career.
  • Athletes building a business, brand or family life beyond the game.
  • Club owners, executives and fund leadership who shape the culture a squad plays inside.
What Changes

What begins to shift.

  • A nervous system that settles faster after the noise of match day.
  • Presence in the moment — attention on the play, not on the replay.
  • Decisions that come from coherence, not depletion.
  • Courage and a clear voice, in the dressing room and beyond it.
  • Recovery that tends to the emotional load, not only the physical one.
  • An identity that is steady with or without the shirt.
How It Works

How the work unfolds.

Every container is personal. Most players begin with a conversation and enter through 1:1 Impact Coaching, which is long-term and by application.

I · Begin

A discovery call

An honest, unhurried conversation about where you are — in your season, your body and your life — and what is asking for space. Fit matters more than readiness.

II · Attune

Your container takes shape

1:1 Impact Coaching, held remotely wherever you are training or travelling, in English or Spanish. Weekend intensives and retreats offer in-person depth when the calendar allows.

III · Embody

Coherence becomes your baseline

The nervous system unwinds from defence. Presence returns under pressure. For a deeper arc, the Energy Evolution Experience runs over 6–12 months.

Questions

Coaching for footballers, answered.

What does a performance coach for footballers do?

A performance coach for footballers helps players bring their full ability to the moments that matter. Amy’s work goes beneath tactics and fitness to the nervous system, energy and attention — the layer that decides whether talent shows up under pressure. Sessions focus on regulation, presence and clear decision-making, so performance comes from coherence rather than depletion.

How is energy coaching different from sports psychology?

Sports psychology typically works with thoughts, routines and mental skills. Amy works at the level beneath language — energy, attunement and resonance — tending to the nervous system and the patterns held in the body. Many athletes find the two complementary. Energy coaching is not a substitute for medical or clinical care; it is a different way of working with performance.

Which athletes has Amy Elizabeth worked with?

Amy has worked with athletes including DK Metcalf, Odell Beckham Jr., Edwin Jackson, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and DaeSean Hamilton. She has been coaching since 2010 and is currently Executive Performance Coach at ProperGP, a fund that plans to acquire football clubs.

Does Amy work with clubs and club leadership?

Every conversation begins with a discovery call to explore fit.
