In the high-pressure world of coaching, it’s easy to put personal well-being on the back burner. For Jordann Reese, an assistant coach at Creighton University, this reality hit home when she realized that how she showed up each day didn’t just affect her—it impacted her players, too.

Watch Jordann’s inspiring testimonial here:

Recognizing the Need for Change

Coaching is more than just strategy and execution; it’s about leadership and energy. Jordann noticed how her physical and mental state directly influenced her team.

“These kids see the days when we are stressed or didn’t get enough sleep… However we’re performing that day, they receive that and react to it,” she shares.

This awareness sparked a shift—one that led her to Coya, a program designed to help high performers optimize their health and longevity.

The Power of Small Changes

With access to WHOOP data, expert coaching, and structured accountability, Jordann saw firsthand how incremental improvements made a massive impact.

✅ Prioritizing Recovery → Improved energy, focus, and resilience.
✅ Managing Stress → Helped her approach adversity with clarity and control.
✅ Building Community → Created a culture of accountability with colleagues.

“We still check in on each other… It just created a sense of community and accountability,” she says.

A New Approach to Coaching & Life

Jordann describes Coya as a game-changer—not just for her health but for her career longevity. As mentioned before, coaching is a high-stakes profession with constant decision-making and pressure to perform. Reese notes that this stress can quickly lead to burnout if left unmanaged. She raises a thought-provoking question for all coaches: “How long do you want to be in this profession?” Finding sustainable ways to manage stress is essential for staying energized and effective in the long run.

“I am exceptionally pleased with the program… It’s paid dividends and changed my outlook on what my health can be,” she reflects.

Her biggest takeaway? Investing in your health goes beyond feeling better—it ensures you show up better as well. 

Ready to Take Control of Your Health?

Jordann’s advice: “If your company or university offers this program, join it. Don’t hesitate.”

Health fuels performance—whether on the sidelines or in life. Are you ready to make the change?
