About Mental Edge

Built for athletes. Powered by purpose.

Mental Edge was created by Alec and Kayla — two people who understand the intense highs and hidden struggles of sport. It’s not just an app. It’s the support system we wish existed for every athlete who wants to grow mentally, perform consistently, and feel free in their game.

Later, working as a mindset and performance coach, Alec began to see the same pattern in athletes across every sport:

  1. 1. They needed mental support.
  2. 2. They couldn’t afford traditional therapy or coaching.
  3. 3. They wanted to get help discreetly — without judgment.

That’s when he teamed up with Kayla — a lifelong athlete who played field hockey competitively for the joy of the game and who’s deeply passionate about helping others overcome mental blocks. Together, they built Mental Edge to be the tool they wish they had.

Why It Exists

When Alec was competing at the highest levels — including for Australia’s U21 field hockey team and as a member of the Western Australian Institute of Sport — he silently battled the mental side of performance. There was pressure. There was self-doubt. And there was nowhere to turn that felt safe, fast, or affordable.
