Katherine Reutter-Adamek

Mental Skills & Nutrition Coach
2x Olympic Medalist

Katherine is an Olympic medalist and trailblazer in American speed skating. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, she won both silver and bronze, solidifying her place among the world's elite. In 2011, she became the only American woman to win a World Cup Overall Title and the first American woman since Bonnie Blair in 1986 to claim a World Championship.

Her career took an unexpected turn after sustaining a severe injury that led to three hip surgeries, countless injections, and years of rehab. Forced into early retirement, she transitioned into coaching, determined to help the next generation of athletes.

By 2016, her injuries had become manageable, reigniting her competitive fire. She embarked on an ambitious comeback for the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, facing both triumphs and setbacks along the way. Through it all, her message remained clear: success has no secret formula—it's built on disciplined work and the mental skills that separate good from great.

Now a world-class coach, Katherine blends her experience as an elite athlete with her deep knowledge of sport psychology to teach the mental skills that drive performance. She believes coaching is about guiding athletes to places they can't reach on their own—because better coaching leads to faster improvement, and faster improvement unlocks new levels of success.

Skills like focus, resilience, and emotional regulation can either make or break an athlete. By mastering these mental tools, athletes bridge the gap between knowing what to do and executing it at the highest level.
