Mattison has completed a four-year coaching, leadership,  and high-performance training curriculum, and was certified by the  International Association of Coaching and a Certified Emotional Culture  Deck Practitioner. 

Since  1997, she has been coaching teams and individuals and consulting in  organizations in the areas of leadership, communication, coaching,  teamwork, and high performance.

Mattison  is continually exploring the art and science of human performance and  high-value coaching. As a coach, Mattison has helped thousands of people  have extraordinary lives and businesses. Mattison is fascinated by the  gap between low performers and high performers and what it takes for  people to move from mediocre to masterful in their chosen endeavors.

Mattison has written numerous professional articles and white papers and is the co-author of The Motivation Myth,  which examines how our habitual language often reduces performance in  those around us, and what to do about it. Mattison’s proprietary  leadership and coaching programs provide leaders with the framework to  better understand employee behavior, motivation, and performance in the  workplace and teach people how to bring out the best in those around  them. 

Since  2015, Mattison has served as the mental skills coach at American Rugby  Pro Training Center. In its inaugural season, ARPTC won the USA Women’s  Club Sevens Rugby National Championship, and in 2016 and 2021 ARPTC took  the bronze medal.

In 2019,  Mattison traveled to London, England, to serve as a guest mental skills  coach for the Richmond Women’s Premiership Rugby Club.

Mattison is a lifelong athlete, playing  numerous sports as a youth and ultimately attended the University of  Iowa on a swimming scholarship. After college, Mattison was looking for a  new competitive outlet and found women’s rugby. She quickly rose  through the ranks, landing one step away from the USA national team  before retiring to raise a family.

In  2006, Mattison took up the sport of touch rugby, competing in numerous  national championships, and was selected to the USA Touch World Cup  Squad in 2008. Mattison’s touch rugby team placed second at the 2010  U.S. Touch National Championships, and in 2017, her team placed third. 

As  a businesswoman, athlete, or coach, Mattison is no stranger to high  performance environments and understands what it takes to successfully  navigate those environments in multiple roles.
