Coach with Barbara Ann Cochran
Terrified on Test Day?
Putting off preparing and feeling hopeless?
Frustrated because you think you’re not a good test taker?
Elizabeth King is proud to welcome Olympic Gold Medalist and World Cup skier Barbara Ann Cochran to the Elizabeth King Coaching team. For more than twenty years, Barbara Ann has been sharing her secrets of achievement with young athletes, and she and Elizabeth have recently teamed up to bring those skills to SAT and ACT test preparation and academic achievement. Barbara Ann’s insights are so valuable because she’s not a psychologist, looking in from the outside; instead, she’s a tough athlete herself who knows how to turn on the focus and energy when it’s time.
Barbara Ann shows all level of test takers how to increase confidence and improve results by overcoming obstacles within the subconscious mind, how to set SMART goals, and how to use creative visualization to see truly see dreams come true and create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Her tactics are applicable to both those students that suffer from extreme test anxiety to students who need the extra edge to take their scores to the next level. Naturally, everything Barbara Ann teaches test takers is applicable to young athletes, as well, so her coaching is particularly outstanding for scholar-athletes looking to excel both on and off the field.
