“Endūre has helped me navigate interpersonal relationships through successes, losses, and the stressors within this role. I can honestly say that by having this resource available, I now see myself staying in the coaching long term. I tell every coach that they should take advantage of this because its truly been life changing! I can’t overstate how valuable this experience has been.”

“I was delighted and thrilled with the opportunity to work with Endure for the U20 women’s lacrosse world championships in HK. From the outset they gave me confidence in their experience, process and approach. They listened carefully to our wishes and were extremely adaptable to suit our needs. As well as listening they gave us guidance, suggestions and much support; it was a very symbiotic relationship from the outset. What blew me away was the actual work they did with our athletes – front line work at its best. The players loved the session and were extremely engaged. The environment was warm, supportive, and included some brilliant humor to keep things relaxed. Our players felt confident to open and speak honestly and they loved the support processes suggested to them to use going forwards. Endure continued to provide support to the team and individuals throughout our championships and we were so grateful for the small insights along the way on top of the whole program of support.
I know, even now, that our players continue to use and reflect on the work they did with Endure and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Endure – a real inspiration!''

“I will always remember winning the regional championships when the team all gathered together at the end and said “Tap it in!” Shannon and Sarah had shared this strategy with our teams a few weeks earlier, and it was so great to see that it had an impact. We all take the journey to mental health in different ways and are all in different places on that path. In just one session, Shannon and Sarah offered strategies and techniques and provided a takeaway for every player on our team (and coaches too!) We look forward to having them back in the future!”

“Shannon and Sarah have been tremendous assets to our mental health and athletics initiative at Woodberry Forest School. Not only do they bring a wealth of clinical and personal experience to the workshops they've conducted with all of our teams, but they also tailor their efforts with care and attention to what individual coaches, players, and programs need most. They prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and respond thoughtfully to exactly what the coaches and athletes need. We are grateful for the powerful impact they've had in promoting and protecting mental health and fitness in our community.”

“Being able to schedule sessions on an "as-needed" basis with someone who understands the challenges of coaching, athletics, and young adults right off the bat is huge. It's so nice to not have to constantly explain what my job is or why I am in a certain situation. I feel that pretty much every situation that I bring up is met with compassion, care, curiosity, and a genuine want to help me work through the challenge I am facing whether personal or career/professional.”
— College Lacrosse Coach“When I reached out to Sarah at Endure, I was at a loss on how to enjoy the sport that I loved (fencing). Sarah was patient, understanding, knowledgable and insightful. She helped me learn to cope with situations that impacted my fencing and gave me the tools to manage both on and off the strip. It's been a game changer, in so many ways.”
— USA Fencing Athlete“Shannon has been such a joy to work with over the last almost 2 years. She is validating, helps me see things from different perspectives, and is enjoyable to interact with. The fact that she has experience as a collegiate athlete gives a different perspective and a relational perspective as well as a deeper understanding of a college athlete. Shannon has given me real tools and strategies to use for myself, as well as with my team, and I love the ability to circle back to her and discuss how it went/how it's going. I can't say enough good things about you all!”
