Paige is a freelance writer specializing in sport psychology, cycling, triathlon, sports, fitness, and wellness. Currently she is a Regional Editor with Competitor Magazine (competitor.com) and a contributing writer to Road Magazine (roadmagazine.net). She is currently working on her first book which focuses on advances in goal setting and is continuing her post graduate research on elite endurance athletes and pain management.

In addition to her writing, Paige counsels and educates athletes on the mental component of athletic experience through her private practice, Xcel Sport Psychology Group (www.xcelsportsgroup.com). In her practice, Paige teaches various Sport Psychology techniques to enhance performance: goal setting, motivation, imagery, confidence, relaxation, focus & concentration, effective team communication, and more. She currently works with athletes in individual and group sessions.

When she is not speaking, writing or working with athletes, Paige is probably on her bike. This past year she completed a 600+ mile bike ride with Specialized to raise money and awareness for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. She also just completed a 100 day/100 run challenge and is looking forward to her next adventure yet to be determined.
