Coach Heidi
Coach Hahn has played, and coached, the basketball game at every level. Before joining the University of Findlay women’s basketball staff, she served as the video coordinator for the Bowling Green State University Women’s Basketball Team and coached at Findlay High School.
As a player, she competed professionally in Germany’s First Division with BG Donau-Ries, earning All-League honors while averaging 13.9 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Her collegiate career at NCAA Division I Youngstown State University included back-to-back First-Team All-Horizon League selections and 1,729 career points, still fourth in program history. She remains YSU’s career leader in free throws made and rank in the top ten in minutes, games played, double-doubles, and rebounds.
A proud native of Wapakoneta, Ohio, she helped lead the Redskins to the Division II state championship game and was honored as the Western Buckeye League Player of the Year, District Player of the Year, and an All-Ohio selection. She also became just the fourth player in school history to surpass 1,000 career points.
She holds a B.S. in Middle Childhood Education (2014) and an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Communication (2016) from Youngstown State. She is currently getting certified as a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach™ and Performance Visualization Specialist™.
Coach Heidi’s Mindset Journey
From the outside, Coach Heidi’s career looked like every athlete’s dream: state runner-up in high school, a Division I scholarship, and a pro contract overseas. But behind the scenes, she was fighting a different battle: anxiety, perfectionism, and relentless self-doubt.
No one talked about mental training back then, so she began piecing it together herself, using visualization, breath work, and thought reframing to steady her mind and reclaim her confidence. That shift changed everything: her leadership, her performance, and her purpose.
Now Coach Heidi helps female athletes win the battle in their thoughts, because when you train the mind like you train the body, everything changes.
She believes every athlete was Built for the Battles, and she’s here to show them how to conquer them.
Mission
At Mentally Built Athletes, our mission is to equip female athletes with the mental tools they need to overcome mindset blocks, build unshakable confidence, and perform at their highest potential. Using neuroscience-backed strategies, practical mindset techniques, and guided visualization, we help athletes conquer the internal battles holding them back, so they can thrive on and off the field.
Vision
We envision a generation of female athletes who play free, lead boldly, and compete with confidence, because their minds are trained as powerfully as their bodies. Through mindset coaching, we’re normalizing mental training in sports and helping young women rise above anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
