Codee Myers is a Mental Performance Coach serving in Ankeny, IA, and its surrounding areas. She graduated with her BA in Psychological Sciences from William Jewell College and went on to pursue her MA in Sport Psychology from National University. As a former Division II Women’s basketball player, she wholeheartedly believes athletes cannot reach their optimal athletic performance without mental training. Learning, understanding, practicing, and becoming consistent with mental training is crucial to an athlete’s overall success. “An athlete without mental coaching is like an athlete without a weight room.”

Codee’s education, collegiate athletic career, and coaching experiences have provided her the appropriate tools to bridge the gap in athletic performance.
