Stick it girl

Hi, I'm Anna Kojac and I'm a mental performance coach who works exclusively with competitive gymnasts.  I'm also the founder of Stick It Girl (blog and free downloads), the Gymnastics Mental Training Academy, and Stick It Girl Academy.  I was a competitive gymnast and lived and breathed gymnastics for much of my childhood and early adolescence.   When I was 14, a debilitating wrist injury forced me to leave the sport I loved so much and I was absolutely devastated. But here’s the thing…  Even if an injury didn’t take me out of gymnastics, I know my untrained mindset would have eventually.  You see, while I was a decent gymnast I ALWAYS got in my own way.   As a gymnast I suffered from nerves and multiple mental blocks. I doubted my ability. I compared myself to other gymnasts. I had zero confidence. And I didn't trust myself.   So I get it.  When your gymnast comes to me and is frustrated or devastated because she doesn’t understand why she keeps getting mental blocks, I’ve been there.  Or when your gymnast wants to be the best but lacks confidence and self-trust, I know what that’s like because I’ve lived it myself.  

And that's why I created Stick It Girl.  

I wanted to give as many gymnasts the tools that I was missing when I was a gymnast.   If I had these tools I might have had the confidence to speak up when my body was hurting. I might have been able to compete as well as I practiced. I might have been able to stop comparing myself to other gymnasts. And I sure would have been able to trust myself and have the tools to overcome my mental blocks.  I offer different options such as one-on-one mental coaching sessions, on-demand courses on different topics in gymnastics, and the Stick It Girl Academy - a monthly membership community for competitive gymnasts with weekly Zoom group calls and various training resources.   Through my fun, relatable approach I empower gymnasts to take charge of their mindset and use it to help them overcome their fears in gymnastics, rather than let those fears defeat them.    I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your gymnast. That includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
