Building a Legacy of Excellence One Mindset at a Time

​

Hi, I’m Nykia Coates - a mental performance coach, educator, and lifelong advocate for unlocking human potential. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology, and I’ve spent years helping individuals and teams develop the mental skills to perform at their best - not just in competition, but in life. With experience as an academic advisor, teacher, mentor, and coach for high school athletes, I’ve had the privilege of guiding young minds toward resilience, focus, and self-leadership. My approach is team centered and holistic, recognizing that true excellence comes from balancing mental strength, emotional well-being, personal growth, and team collaboration. Founding Legacy Mindset is my way of creating a lasting impact. My goal is to empower coaches, athletes, and leadership teams to cultivate confidence, discipline, and a winning mindset - while building a culture of integrity and purpose. I believe every individual has untapped potential, and my mission is to help them discover it, strengthen it, and share it with the world.
