About Dr. MichAEl Navarre
I am Dr. Mike Navarre, founder of Inside Out Coaching. In 2023 I started Inside Out Coaching to provide mental performance coaching to athletes, coaches, and business professionals. I've since added transitional coaching to help those who are undergoing significant life transitions such as a job loss, divorce, or retirement from sport or business.
I retired from Augsburg University in 2023 where I served as the Head Women’s Soccer Coach and Director of Sport and Exercise Psychology and Human Performance. I was a head college soccer coach for 24 years retiring among the top 50 winningest coaches in the country. I received my PhD from the University of Minnesota and my masters from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC), where I specialized in Sport Psychology. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in Psychology and Sociology and a certificate (minor) in African Studies.
My consulting background started as a graduate student at UNC where I was fortunate to work with UNC athletes under the mentorship of Dr. John Silva, a pioneer and legend in the field of Sport Psychology. While at UNC I was also fortunate to be on the UNC Women’s Soccer Staff where I got to work alongside another legend, Anson Dorrance. Under Dorrance UNC has won 22 National Championships. I served on the staff that won the 1997 National Championship and finished as the runner-up in 1998.
Whether you are a coach, athlete, student, or business professional Inside Out Coaching coaches ‘from the inside out’. By aligning our goals, values, and behaviors we move closer to manifesting our potential. My practice seeks to enhance my clients’ self-confidence, motivation, emotional agility, resilience, enjoyment, and ability to lead. My practice draws on my vast experience coaching individuals and teams and uses principles of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy to help my clients adopt successful thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs. My goal is to help my clients be the author of their own life.
Be the author of your story
The privilege of a lifetime is to author our own story. I’d love to help you actualize the potential you have within you. Below are a few key principles that guide my practice.
The only way out is through
We must acknowledge and effectively own and face our fears, doubts, and challenges, in order to move through them and grow. By embracing ‘our hard’ we develop the will to persist and the insight to grow.
plan your work and work your plan
Begin with the end in mind but own the present. We procrastinate and get side-tracked because we tend to act on how we feel in the moment. In order to achieve our goals we must have a plan and connect our feelings with our intentions. This is how we create the discipline and motivation to follow through.
You are the agent of change - i AM YOUR COACH
You have the ability within you. My job is to help you accept where you are, identify where you want to go, and create the plan and skills to get there!
