I am delighted to extend an invitation to you to be a part of "The Joetta Effect" Mentorship Program, a transformative initiative led by Joetta a distinguished 4-time Olympic athlete and renowned authority in health and wellness. With an illustrious career, including an induction into the NCAA Hall of Fame, Joetta brings unparalleled expertise to the realm of sports and mental performance.

“The Joetta Effect” is not your typical sports coaching program; instead, it focuses on the often-overlooked mental performance aspect of an athlete’s journey. Our primary goal is to inspire, empower, and guide collegiate athletes on their path to achieving excellence in both sports and life.

What sets “The Joetta Effect” apart is Joetta’s unique ability to bridge the gap between physical prowess and mental resilience. Having conquered the Olympic stage four times, Joetta understands the importance of mental strength, determination, and unwavering focus in achieving athletic greatness. Her mentorship program is designed to equip high school, collegiate athletes and weekend warriors with essential tools and strategies to overcome challenges, handle pressure, and develop the mindset of a true champion.

New episode alert!! Plant the seeds of intention now for a full bloom later with Joetta, four-time Olympian.

Four time Olympian, Joetta is a thriving businesswoman, a motivational speaker, and a huge advocate for girls and women. Joetta says the world is full of “cans”- what we CAN do! She encourages all of us, but especially middle aged women who sometimes feel invisible, to push through the “can’t” with enthusiasm and grace. Listen in as Joetta has us feeling motivated and ready to go!

Thank you WFMZ!!
