Our Mission

Breath by Bailey trains athletes to reach their full potential under pressure while protecting their mental well-being.

We equip competitive cheerleading and dance programs to respond to challenges with resilience, strengthen trust at both the individual and team level, and build a balanced work ethic that sustains high-level performance across an entire season.

Through science-backed mental performance training and breathwork, athletes gain practical tools to stay composed, focused, and connected when it matters most.

When athletes feel steady, execution sharpens.
When teams trust each other, performance elevates.
When regulation becomes a skill, performance becomes consistent.

This is how teams perform at their highest potential.

Meet Bailey

Licensed Psychotherapist | Certified Breath Coach | D1 Collegiate Athlete

Bailey Sineni is a licensed psychotherapist, certified breathwork facilitator, and former Division I athlete. She founded Breath by Bailey to help athletes perform with resilience, trust, and balance under pressure.

Her approach to mental performance is shaped by both clinical training and lived athletic experience. She understands the demands of high-pressure environments and how they impact mental health and performance. Her work focuses on helping athletes regulate their internal state and compete from a place of stability and control.

Since launching Breath by Bailey in 2025, she has partnered with 40+ competitive cheerleading programs and supported over 1,000 athletes nationwide, helping teams elevate performance while strengthening mental well-being.

Bailey speaks on mental performance and psychologically safe coaching for athletic programs and conferences across the country, including the Georgia Coaches Conference in Atlanta, GA and the Varsity All Star Coaches Conference in Phoenix, AZ. She looks forward to speaking at the Illinois Coach and Athlete Conference this April.

Bailey earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and also works in private practice psychotherapy, supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, ADHD, and women’s integrated health.

What We Develop

Resilient Athletes

Resilience begins with regulation. Athletes learn to regulate their nervous systems in high-pressure moments so they can reset quickly, respond constructively, and execute with composure through challenge. Instead of reacting impulsively or shutting down, they learn to respond with grit.

High-Trust Teams

Connection is built when teammates turn toward one another in difficult moments. When athletes are regulated, they are more capable of listening, communicating clearly, and being accountable to themselves and one another. Teams learn how to effectively work together through challenges, strengthening trust and problem-solving.

Balanced Training Strategies

Sustainable excellence requires balance between physical and mental training. Athletes learn how their internal state influences training quality, recovery, and confidence. They develop the ability to train with intensity and reset and reflect when needed, sustaining high performance across an entire season.
