Coach a team

that plays free.

Helping women’s collegiate athletic teams develop the trust, resilience, and connection to compete together, respond to adversity, and play with confidence under pressure using the Playing FREE Program.

THE PROBLEM

College athletes spend years honing their physical skills, but the mental and relational side of the game often goes underdeveloped. Too many compete afraid to fail, worried about others’ opinions, questioning their worth, or fighting against their role. Teammates share a common goal but lack the trust and connection to truly thrive together. When fear takes over, confidence fades, connection weakens, and the freedom to play gets lost.

THE PROGRAM

Playing FREE is built on five pillars that develop the athlete beyond the game. Focusing on these areas, we help players build unshakable identity, deeper trust, resilience under pressure, freedom in performance, and the confidence to lead—creating a foundation for both individual growth and a stronger team.

THE FRAMEWORK

Playing FREE is an 8-session team development program designed to build meaningful growth over time—not just spark a moment of motivation. Each 90-minute session combines guided conversations, interactive exercises, and practical application to help athletes strengthen their mindset, relationships, and impact on the team.

BUILDING CULTURE THAT LASTS

This is not a one-day workshop. It’s a two-month investment in how your team thinks, connects, and competes. Lasting change happens when a team has the time and space to put a fresh perspective into practice.

Playing FREE brings athletes together for 12 hours of intentional development across eight sessions, giving them the opportunity to build trust, have meaningful conversations, challenge old patterns, and put new habits into action over time. Each session builds on the last, turning important concepts into everyday choices that shape how teammates communicate, respond to adversity, hold one another accountable, and compete together.

Playing FREE Plus is an option that works great for those coaches that want to debrief following each session, as well as the benefit of ongoing support for the team captains throughout the season.

Rooted in faith and guided by timeless values, Playing FREE helps athletes grow not only in how they play, but in who they are and how they influence the people around them.

MEET YOUR COACH

Hey there! My name is Rachel McClure.

I am a two-time All-American, two-time Hall of Fame inductee, former professional basketball player, and former NCAA Division I and II basketball coach. My background in elite athletics has given me firsthand insight into the pressures student-athletes face, from performance expectations and role clarity to confidence, identity, and team dynamics.

As a Certified Christian Life Coach with additional training in trauma-informed care, I combine my athletic and coaching experience with a holistic approach to athlete development. Through Playing FREE, I help teams build trust, strengthen connection, develop resilience, and cultivate the confidence and freedom to compete without being defined by performance. My goal is to help athletes grow not only as competitors, but also as leaders and individuals.

I would be honored to work with your team!
