Cheri began her career as a mental health counselor for Milwaukee Psychiatric Hospital. Her passion for sports and thirst for continual education brought her to a place where she began to devote herself to increasing her skill set to include athletic-minded and goal-oriented people. Today Cheri's practice includes helping people, athletes, and organizations in the areas of healthy lifestyle changes, competitive edge, performance enhancement, and life enrichment. She believes that sport and other high-performance pursuits are wonderful mediums for providing a sense of purpose and continuous challenge.

"What is truly inspiring is watching an athlete of all levels find that extra gear within themselves, and use it to break through mental and physical barriers, accomplish goals that they never dreamed were possible, and find new levels of success that are within them.  This new level is only found when having to dig deeper and find through heart and sheer determination.  Once someone has experienced this and becomes aware that this extra gear exists within them, there are no limits to what they can do. "  Cheri Cope, M.S.

Cheri has over 25 years of competitive athletic experience. She was an all-conference downhill skier in high school and tennis player. She is currently a USTA State League Tennis Player, triathlete, and marathon runner.
