I’m passionate about helping you shape your own mettle edge so you make the impact you were made to make.

MettlEdge is a strengths-driven, solution-focused leadership performance coaching company elevating women shaped by college sports one conversation at a time.

Meet Jill

Jill is our founder and president. Here’s why she started MettlEdge and why she’s passionate about helping women shaped by college sports shape their own strong sense of self, belonging, and purpose:

Participating in college sports can build leadership skills, teamwork skills, confidence, a strong work ethic, and lifelong friendships. It can improve academic success and open up career opportunities. It is a privilege.

But there is a shadow side to performing at such a high level. Participating in college sports can also build a belief that if you work hard enough, you can be great at anything. It can lead people to believe they should be great at anything, at everything. Just put in the work.

Many women shaped by college sports carry this mentality into every area of their lives. They don’t want to fail, so they tirelessly work to keep all the things going with greatness and a willingness to sacrifice their own needs for the sake of others. They do this at work, in their relationships, in service to their communities and in their churches. But it’s not sustainable. One day, the greatness that they once loved to pursue becomes a burden they can no longer bear, and they silently level out, burn out, or give up, alone. And often ashamed.

None of us were made to be great at everything.

But for women shaped by college sports, we have been shaped to be great at putting in the work. What if you focused that strong work ethic on growing up the everything you were made to be instead of burning yourself out striving to be great at everything. Imagine that. This is what we want most for you. This is what we design our solutions to do for you. Because we know that when you grow up the everything you were made to be, you will thrive. And when you thrive, you’ll lead others to do the same. Because that’s what you do.

In what ways might you be wanting things to be change?

If you things changed in these ways, what would be different for you? for your family? your athletes?

What parts of you would you be growing up?

How important is it to you that you do the work to grow up the everything you were made to be?

If you are ready to invest in yourself for a change so you can keep investing in others, enroll in a 1:1 coaching membership today or schedule a discovery call to learn more.

Proven 1:1 Approach to Well-Being

We rely on what has always been an essential element of human well-being—1:1 and meaningful small group connection with an unbiased, caring, and “interested in you” human who wants what’s best for others.

Through outcome-based coaching conversations and accountabiltiy to take action toward change, our Pros guide others to thrive at work in alignment with their own values and beliefs and for the collective good of their team.

We do not counsel, mentor, advise, or in any other way tell anyone what to do. We believe people are capable of creating solutions for themselves, and they know best what works for them. We are here to facilitate their thinking so they see more clearly and think more productively. And this is how people learn best, by thinking for themselves.

Full 34 Gallup® Strengths Assessment that Drives Awareness and Action

Friend, you were not made to do everything!

The Gallup CliftonStrengths® assessment is a reliable and powerful tool we add to supplement both our 1:1 and cohort solutions. It informs people of their innate areas of natural talent and their innate areas of natural talent weakness.

Core Values:

  • Excellence: It is our resolve to serve our community and clients with the best products and services possible.

  • Authenticity: It is our resolve to be real. We want to see and enjoy you. Then, to see and enjoy all the things you do.

  • Joy: We are committed to helping high achievers find deep rest without resting from doing more – because that’s what high achievers are made to do: more. We get it. We’re high achievers, too.

Core Belief:

“every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing into a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself.

To be the one kind of creature is heaven: that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.”
