About

As a lifelong athlete with a competitive spirit, I thrive on challenges. Yet, my journey wasn't always paved with a champion's mindset. As a teenage athlete, I grappled with performance anxiety, overwhelming pressure to excel, and dwindling confidence in my quest for victory. These struggles persisted into adulthood, trapping me in a relentless cycle of achievement, leaving me unfulfilled and weighed down by anxiety, depression and frustration. It wasn't until I found the power to cultivate my own confidence that I broke free from the suffocating cloud of achievement pressure. This pivotal revelation allowed me to continue achieving while enjoying the journey. It's this very transformation that drove me to establish Bay Laurel Athletics. My mission is to help middle school and high school athletes discover the confidence, success, and pure enjoyment they deserve in every step of their athletic journey. Join us at Bay Laurel Athletics and let's embark on this empowering path together.Dr. Laurel, founder of Bay Laurel Athletics, offers a wealth of personal and professional experience to nurture young athletes.
