Laura Lingner | Catalyst Performance Methods Claimed

Most athletes and high-performing professionals are never actually taught how to think about money, opportunities, or long-term strategy. Laura Lingner is an operations strategist, Fractional COO, executive coach, and founder of Catalyst Performance Methods. With more than twenty years of experience working across the sports industry and business operations, Laura helps athletes, coaches, and high-performing professionals strengthen their decision-making around money, opportunities, and long-term success.

Throughout her career Laura has worked with organizations and leadership teams navigating growth, complex transitions, and high-pressure environments. That experience revealed a consistent gap in how individuals are prepared to manage the financial and business realities that accompany success, particularly within the sports world where opportunities such as NIL deals, partnerships, and investments can arrive early and carry significant consequences.

Through Catalyst Performance Methods, Laura focuses on financial literacy and real-world readiness, helping athletes and young professionals understand how money actually works, how to evaluate opportunities thoughtfully, and how to protect the careers they have worked so hard to build.

Her approach integrates business strategy with a human and psychological foundation, recognizing that stress, identity, and decision-making all influence performance. By helping individuals develop clarity around financial decisions and long-term planning, Laura empowers clients to build success not only in their careers, but in life beyond them.

Laura offers both one-on-one and small group coaching focused on financial literacy, opportunity evaluation, career transition strategy, and leadership development.
