I know what it feels like to be a coach running on fumes.
For years, I lived in reactive mode... chasing recruits at midnight, buried in to-do lists, juggling team logistics, and falling further behind every day.
- It wasn’t that I wasn’t committed.
- It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to work hard.
It’s that no one had ever taught me how to work smart — especially as a college coach, mom, wife, and leader with a program to build.
That realization changed everything.

Like many coaches,
I started out with a passion for recruiting. I could spend 10 hours a day at tournaments, writing emails, and getting players to commit. And back then, I had the time.
- But life evolved.
- I became a head coach.
- I got married.
- I had two incredible kids (Jack and Ashleigh), two dogs, and a home to run.
Suddenly, I was trying to coach, recruit, manage, parent, and lead... and I was burning out fast.
I was working harder than ever, but falling further behind.
I refuse to let my kids or my family be the reason why I can't achieve excellence as a coach; rather they are the reason why I must. My need to manage my time between family and work, and become more efficient doing it, forced me to start looking at all that has been written about time, energy, and email management.
I hit a point in my coaching career where I was buried: emails, recruiting, staff, admin, travel. I had all the ideas but no time to execute them. I knew something had to change.
So I stepped back and did what most coaches never get the space to do: I rebuilt everything from the ground up.
- I simplified my workflows.
- I organized my recruiting.
- I created systems for email, campus visits, staff, and my calendar.
And for the first time, I felt in control.
I was getting better results, with less stress, and I knew I had to share what was working.

What I realized was simple:
There were no time management systems built for the reality of college coaching.
So I created one.
That system became the foundation of Busy Coach, and it’s now helped thousands of coaches and admissions professionals build sustainable, high-performing workflows without the burnout or 12-hour days.
Whether you're running a program, leading a department, or growing your career, I help you take back your time, focus your energy, and lead with clarity.
See My ProgramsMost coaches spend their days reacting: putting out fires, answering emails, handling whatever feels urgent.
But real progress comes from working on what actually matters.
I help you structure your day around the goals and vision you have for your program, so every action moves you forward. With proactive systems in place, you're not just surviving the chaos—you're leading with purpose and getting results that stick.
I know what it feels like:
- To work 12+ hour days and still feel behind
- To miss family time because there’s “just one more thing” to do
- To feel like you’re doing it all alone
- To carry the weight of building a program without the systems to support you
I’ve coached through low budgets, minimal staff, no traditions, and long to-do lists. I’ve had to rebuild a roster of 21 players, fix broken workflows, and still find time to be present with my family.
That’s why I do what I do now.
Because you don’t have to sacrifice your life to run a successful program.
Having a predetermined protocol for categories that fires normally fall into is a critical first step. How do you handle the 100's of emails that end up in your inbox everyday? How do you keep track of and consistently communicate with all of your top recruits? How do you manage interruptions? How do you identify and eliminate what is not working and identify and improve what is?

A Revelation in Coaching Productivity
When I stumbled upon your "Stop. Don't do it" article in the TCS e-news, it was a delightful surprise that led me directly to explore the Busy Coach website.
The concept of 'coaching productivity' hadn't been on my radar as a significant area of focus, but now, I'm thoroughly intrigued and impressed. As someone who values efficiency, I'm excited to see you championing this vital aspect of coaching.
Mandy's commitment to educating coaches across all levels and sports on this topic is commendable. Prompted by Mandy's insightful work, I've eagerly subscribed to your newsletter, looking forward to more enlightening content.

Game-Changing Insights with Email Overwhelm
Like so many of my peers, I was thoroughly impressed by Mandy's trainings—it was exactly what we needed to hear. The familiar overwhelm of arriving to find 200 unread emails, each demanding an immediate response, was addressed with practical, insightful solutions.
The information shared was invaluable, and I would greatly appreciate any additional resources as I plan to share these insights with our staff using my notes. Wishing you the best of luck, and let's make sure to keep the lines of communication open.
