Michelle L. Murphy is a certified life coach whose main objective is assisting sports professionals on their quest to live an authentic life by tapping into the core of their being and unlocking the fullness of their potential.  Through various coaching techniques, Coach Michelle helps clients translate the same excellence and leadership shown in the work place into every area of their lives: personally, emotionally, financially, socially, spiritually, mentally and relationally. Dubbed the “Coach’s Coach”, Coach Michelle’s style skillfully allows clients to produce tangible, life changing results that introduces a new realm of balance, greater sense of purpose and a deeper level of self-awareness to their lives.

   While working in several realms of sports management for more than 11 years, Coach Michelle grasped the pressures that team ownership, team executives, athletes and coaches face on a daily basis: financial decisions, tough roster decisions, injuries, communication gaps, playing slumps, demotions, and even unfortunate mishaps with the law.  Coach Michelle’s clients enthusiastically share that they walk away from their coaching sessions with tremendous breakthroughs in areas that they’ve struggled with for years.  Coach Michelle uses her highly-effective skills of communication, listening and encouragement to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for each client to freely explore their inner core with extreme trust in the Coach. The end product is an authentic individual, living the life of worthy of their calling.  Difficult decisions are now really simple, the darkness of confusion has been diminished by the light of clarity, and the limitations of walls and fences are demolished by the power of unhindered communication.  Clients witness the translation of excellence that was once isolated to the workplace now present in every area of their lives and synergy begins.

   Coach Michelle’s desire to see other sports professionals function in the optimal of their potential came from a personal experience with life coaching.  After just a few sessions with her personal coach in 2006, she discovered that her heart’s cry was for more of God and His purposes for her life.  That clarity empowered Coach Michelle to pursue her own professional coach training certification to help others live a balanced, authentic life.  Coach Michelle has a unique and innate gift to help others succeed, this combined with her passion to impact and transform lives, gave her an outlet to do what her heart loves. Operating with balance throughout her life: spiritually first, mentally, emotionally and relationally, Coach Michelle has dedicated her life’s work to serving the sports world with a more direct approach through life coaching.

   Coach Michelle is light on a hill that cannot be hidden; she is an author, spiritual mentor and motivational speaker.  In addition to coaching, she ministers to Christian business owners on the foundational principals of entrepreneurship, edifies others by ministering the word of God, and conducts group studies such as “The Purpose Driven Life” 40-day life purpose journal and “The End of Your Wilderness Experience” relationship seminars for women.  While she may be titled “Coach”, Michelle really knows in her heart that she is called to be an Ambassador for Jesus Christ by laying down her life and serving others by helping all reach their destiny and live the life worthy of the call that they have received upon their lives!
