Rachel Fry

I specialize in mental performance, leadership development, and career growth and work with people both internationally and within the U.S. I have been teaching, coaching, and training for over 16 years. I started my coaching career in soccer where I worked with teams and did individual training for youth players over the course of 8 years. Additionally I played soccer for four years at the Division One level in university. After finishing my soccer career I taught at high schools in Thailand and The Bahamas and worked with over 2000 international students. I also taught scuba diving and freediving at the schools. I eventually went on to train with world renowned freedivers in Hawaii and competed in the constant weight discipline freediving competitions. With being a high performing athlete in multiple sports, I understand the mental and emotional skills needed to not only train and compete at high levels, but to push yourself past your own barriers.

I work with international leaders, founders, students, and athletes and focus on developing skills like confidence, motivation, and resilience that aid in the development of leadership and performance. My goal is to apply the skills and tools that high performing athletes use as well as scientifically backed tools from positive psychology to help others work toward their bigger professional goals.

I have lived in over five different countries and have worked with thousands of people from different cultural backgrounds. I am based in Washington D.C. and split the year between the U.S. and South America. I am also the Vice President of a DC environmental nonprofit organization and lead their professional development team where I deliver trainings, workshops, and speaking engagements. My behavioral science master’s is in Applied Positive Psychology and the backbone of the applied science is in the study of human flourishing.
