Testimonials

What Our Parents Say

Parents who work with Bearcat Coaching consistently see measurable improvements in
confidence, communication, and performance.

“Introducing my son Jake to Cathy Helin has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a mom. Since working with her, I’ve watched him grow more confident, mature, and self-assured. Cathy created a safe, trusting space that helped Jake build belief in himself—especially in areas where he once struggled, like sports. Her guidance has given him tools that go far beyond the playing field. I’ve seen a shift in how he handles challenges and communicates with others. The confidence and emotional strength he’s gaining will stay with him for life—and I’m forever grateful."

"We've noticed a big difference in her - she's shedding self-doubt and frustration, playing with confidence and truly enjoying herself. She's more lighthearted, talking with teammates, asking coaches questions, and showing leadership. It fills our hearts to see her growth."

"The positives I'm seeing are that she's taking more accountability for herself... if she apologizes for something that she shouldn't be, she'll be like, 'Oh, wait. I don't need to apologize for that.' ...When it is things that she shouldn't be doing, she's noticing it right away she takes a minute and gathers herself instead of freaking out and making it worse and she's realizing it in the moment. That is huge growth. Recognizing the small wins... I just see it in her face. It's just more lit up. She feels more confident."

"The relationship that she sees and feels with you is so impactful for her. You do such an amazing job and your work and the way that you connect with these young girls and the impact that you are having is so substantial, not for their game... but just in life and confidence and navigating things."
