Very engaging and helpful to better understand athletes and high achievers.
I honestly hadn’t considered how sports culture impacts therapeutic approaches, but in this session Cindi explained it so well. It’s so important!
Relevant to my caseload!
Valuable information and considerations related to athletes that professionals who work with athletes don’t consider. You could bring great prevention work with training to coaches PT mental health to and parents
Relatable and important
Progress, not perfection gives great framework on holding space with an athlete and staying patient center. It was informative and easy to digest.
Cindi has so much street cred as a coach!!
Good insight on different ways to help manage athletes with ED and how to meet them where they are and work on small goals they are willing to do b/c stopping is. It an option. Really interesting about the grief piece when the ends because it does end for everyone at some point.
The session gave great insight on athletes mindsets and how to utilize that knowledge in tailoring treatment for them.
I LOVED this session! It was so helpful to hear Cindi conceptualize the athlete identity as a treatment variable to consider.
Helpful for providers who serve high achievers / athletes with EDs
Cindi has so much street cred as a coach!!
The topic and speaker was engaging!
It’s so important to highlight the complexity of eating disorders within athletes and high performing/achieving people. You’ll learn how to support others through identity, grief and harm reduction work to continue always meeting people where they are.
Perfect for anyone working with an athlete!
Cindy is very engaging and relevant. All sports teams should consider having her speak on sports and mental health.
Great talk and very relatable! I loved the real life application and story of your life and how you related your real life experiences to your talk!
I would say this helped open to eyes to be able to break down big ideals into bite sized chunks that are easily digestible! I also feel that it’s very relatable for my clientele base and can be easily integrated into what I am actively doing in my sessions.
I’d say that I learned a lot. I felt redirected and informed of how to better my mental health, treat my body well, accept it and become better!

Cindi is freakin’ awesome
Cindi was engaging, knowledgeable and shared a lot of good info!
Very valuable for working with athletes all ages, especially teens.
Great tools that help bridge the gap between stakeholders and identifying key areas to account for in the therapeutic process and to make lasting outcomes.
Great emphasis on the problem and clients that needs us to speak to them in their language and support them in a way that they can accept!
Such great info and targeted focus. I learned things! Also super validating for my work so far.
This session was so validating to my own experience and the identity work I do with teens across the board.
Great look at the dynamics of perfectionism and how it’s driven by culture/not avoidable but also maladaptive.
So eye opening!
This was a great presentation!
Very inspiring and engaging!
Cindi was beyond engaging and soo inspirational.
It’s a topic that is often not talked about enough! It was very engaging and left me wanting to continue to learn more!
First time at AVCA!!! Would love to keep hearing her talks.
She needs to come back. There’s more to unpack and she is a great resource.
Very useful to fix my approach as a coach and how to handle the mental game.
I really really liked this. It felt really applicable to not only my team but also myself.
Excellent presentation on very important information that all coaches need. I loved the list of questions on how to ask athletes post mistake etc. These can be so valuable.
Very good description on how to handle people who are striving for perfection and how to adjust or work with that behavior to connect with them. What we can do differently to try to “change” or work through these behaviors so people aren’t pigeon holing themselves into this behavior.
There is typically one session a year at AVCA that hits a home run for me. It took until Saturday morning to find mine, but wow. I almost wanted to FaceTime my team in during the session. So may actionable things to help the athletes become better by how my feedback is spoken and heard
