Jazlyn Pipkins, known as Coach Jaz, is a mental performance coach and an Independent Mental Performance Center™ Licensee, certified in the Identity Forge Method™. She is also an educator, former fitness trainer, and athlete development mentor who has trained, coached, and mentored more than 1,000 athletes. As an athlete, she worked extremely hard, trained consistently, and did everything she could physically to improve. What she was missing was the mental performance coaching to handle nerves, fear, pressure, comparison, and the mental demands of competition. After an injury, she realized that mental performance training is not an option or an extra. It is a foundation of athlete development.

That realization followed her into coaching. While training athletes in the gym, Coach Jaz kept seeing talented, hardworking athletes who performed well in training but struggled to carry those skills into competition. Overthinking, fear, pressure, and low confidence held them back. She knew exactly what that felt like. It made her want to be the coach she once needed. Her mission is to help athletes compete with consistent confidence by developing the mind behind the performance, along with the body and physical skills.

Coach Jaz loves working with Mental Performance Center™ (MPC) because it gives her the community, accountability, professional development, structure, and practical tools to keep growing as a coach and to better steward her gifts and experience. Through mental performance coaching, athlete development, collegiate preparation, and partnerships with families, schools, clubs, teams, and athletic programs, she helps athletes build confidence, composure, resilience, leadership, and a strong identity. Her goal is to develop better competitors and better people beyond their sport.
