ARISE Coaching & Training
Growth That Reaches Beyond the Game
Faith-based mindset coaching for youth athletes. ARISE helps your athlete build confidence, handle pressure, and recover after mistakes while growing in character and purpose.
You See Their Potential. But Sometimes, They Can't.
The quiet ride home after a difficult game. The frustration after one mistake. The pressure they put on themselves to get everything right.
You remind them how capable they are. You encourage them. You tell them one mistake doesn't define them.
At ARISE, your athlete practices what to say to themselves after an error, how to refocus under pressure, and how to take the next step with confidence. Our Christian foundation reminds them they are fearfully and wonderfully made and that their worth goes far beyond the scoreboard.

More Than an Athlete. Created With Purpose
At ARISE, we believe every young person is created with unique strengths, value, and purpose.
Our Christian foundation guides how we teach confidence, character, identity, and personal growth.
We want athletes to recognize that their worth isn't determined by a scoreboard, their playing time, or the opinions of others.
Their value is not something they have to earn.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
- Psalm 139:14 NIV
Meet Coach Shandel
A Mom of Three. An Educator. A Youth Mindset Coach.
As a mom of three boys, I've seen how much pressure young athletes can place on themselves- and ow difficult it can be for parents to know the right thing to say.
My background in childcare, substitute teaching, business, and specialized youth coaching has shaped the way I support young people.
I founded ARISE because I believe athletes deserve more than encouragement to "just be confident." They deserve practical tools, meaningful guidance, and opportunities to discover their strengths.
My goal is to help your athlete grow as a person, not just as a player.

"What parents ARE SEEING"
Arise Coaching provides a platform for our youth to explore and understand the characteristics that make our children so unique and special. The initial assessment was accurate and articulated my boy's true personality traits.

Parent of youth athlete_ AZ
I've always been a skeptic about coaching, but my experience with this company has been nothing short of extraordinary. The sessions allowed my teen to explore their inner self and confront deep-seated fears. They were given tools to support them in school and life.

Questions Parents Often Ask
Does my athlete need to be struggling to benefit from coaching?
Not at all. Mindset coaching is valuable for athletes who want to strengthen their confidence, develop leadership skills, prepare for challenges, or become more intentional about their growth.
How is mindset coaching different from sports coaching?
Sports coaches teach physical skills, strategies, and techniques. ARISE focuses on the thoughts, habits, emotional responses, and personal skills that influence how athletes approach competition and everyday challenges.
What happens during an individual coaching session?
Your athlete has a supportive space to discuss experiences, identify challenges, explore their strengths, and practice practical mindset tools. Each session connects learning to real situations and meaningful actions.
Is ARISE a counseling or therapy service?
No. ARISE provides educational, skill-based mindset coaching and personal development. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. When an athlete needs clinical mental health support, a qualified healthcare professional is the appropriate resource.
How will I know if my athlete is making progress?
We look beyond wins and statistics. Athletes reflect on their confidence, responses to setbacks, communication, habits, and personal goals. Parent updates help you understand what your athlete is practicing while respecting their privacy.
How do I know which program is right for my athlete?
Start with a free parent consultation. We’ll discuss your athlete’s goals, current challenges, and the available coaching options so you can make an informed decision.
Every Athlete deserves someone who believes in their potential.
You don't need to have all the answers. And your athlete doesn't need to be struggling to benefit from mindset coaching.
Whether you're hoping to help them overcome self-doubt, develop stronger habits, or continue growing in confidence and character, ARISE is here to support that journey.
Let's talk about your athlete and what meaningful growth could look like for them.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation about your athlete and their goals.
