Her esteemed work in cognitive performance includes the U.S. military and athletes at all levels, ranging from elite, collegiate, high school, and youth sports.
Born in McComb, Mississippi, Rebecca competed at the collegiate and elite levels in tennis. She was selected as Mississippi’s Most Outstanding Junior Tennis Player in 1991 and 1992. She was also selected as a Prince High School All-American in tennis in 1990, 1991, and 1992. Additionally, Rebecca was awarded a full athletic scholarship for tennis to the University of Mississippi, where the Lady Rebels were ranked top 25 in the nation, and received her undergraduate degree in hotel and restaurant management. After college, Rebecca became the head tennis coach for the men’s and women’s program at Southwest Mississippi Community College. After a successful tenure, she accepted the assistant tennis professional position at the prestigious Jackson Country Club in Jackson, Mississippi.
Following the events of September 11, 2001, she decided to serve her country and enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. Near the end of her enlistment, she suffered a crippling shoulder injury, which inevitably became her defining moment of adversity, inspiring her to pursue two master’s degrees in sport and performance psychology from National University and California University of Pennsylvania, respectively.
