The Struggles Every Athlete Knows

Any of these challenges sound familiar?

  • Do you underperform in competition despite strong practice, unable to replicate your game when it counts?
  • Do you choke under pressure when it matters most, letting nerves break down physical skills?
  • Do you have fragile confidence that swings with every play of shot?
  • Do you allow frustration with mistakes to lead to more mistakes?
Frustrated Athlete Who Under Performs in Competition

What Athletes Learn via Mental Performance Coaching

  • Proactive Confidence: Belief that holds steady regardless of the last play or game.
  • Focus & Refocus: Staying locked into the present task instead of outcomes, mistakes, or distractions.
  • Composure Under Pressure: Managing nerves so physical skills don’t break down when it matters most.
  • Trust in Training: Executing on instinct instead of overanalyzing during competition.
  • Resilience: Recovering quickly from errors or losses and using them as fuel, not friction.
  • Mistake Management: Handling frustration and anger so emotions don’t hijack decision-making mid-competition.
  • Pre-Competition Routines: Consistent mental preparation that gets athletes into the right headspace before every game.

Reviews from Peak Performance Sports’ Clients

Sports psychology mental coaching works. For more than 40 years, Dr. Patrick Cohn and his team of mental performance coaches at Peak Performance Sports, LLC, have helped athletes at every level build confidence, sharpen focus, and perform at their best under pressure.

“Thanks a lot for your help with the mental coaching. I’m so happy I won against David Allen. I was nervous earlier in the day, but when I got to the arena, I was so calm and ready to trust in my skills. I was patient and stuck to the game plan.”*

David Price, Boxer

“The last competition went perfect. Was I confident? Yes. Am I letting go of mistakes and staying in the moment? Yes. Was I instinctual? Yes. Am I positive with partner? Yes. From the mental game, I would say this was a good competition.”*

JL Lewis, Peaksports Client

JL Lewis, PGA Tour

“Working with Dr. Cohn has helped me adopt the next play mentality. I’ve been able to play more decisively and commit fully to making the throw. If I don’t feel perfect, I know I can still have a good game. I thank you so much for your help.”*

Mac Jones, Alabama

“I think your mental coaching has helped me immensely. It has taught me what to focus on in and out of the racecar. How to stay calm and focused have been key skills that I have learned which have helped me be a better and more confident racecar driver.”*

AJ, Peak Performance Sports client

~AJ Allmendinger NASCAR

“After your session, Mason had the best game so far! He hustled, shot, no goals but two assists but he was cool with it because his focus was on shooting and not scoring (finally), defended well with his hands, finally put it all together. It was fun to watch.”*

Frequently Asked Questions About
Mental Performance Coaching

Does virtual mental performance coaching actually work?

Yes. Video coaching by Zoom is just as effective as in-person sessions because the mental skills you're building, including focus, composure, confidence, are trained through conversation, guided exercises, and structured follow-up, not physical proximity. Peak Performance Sports, LLC has coached athletes worldwide by video for years with the same results as in-person coaching.

Is mental performance coaching the same as therapy?

No. Mental performance coaching is teaching mental skills to athletes focused on competition performance and building confidence, focus, and composure under pressure. It's not a substitute for mental health treatment. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, we recommend working with a licensed therapist alongside or instead of performance coaching.

How long does it take to see results?

Most athletes notice a shift in their mindset within the first few sessions or one month. But measurable improvement in composure and confidence over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent mental coaching. Results depend on how often you apply the mental training between sessions using the workbooks and assessments included in your program.

What's included in a mental performance coaching program?

Coaching includes weekly one-on-one video sessions with a certified mental performance coach, two mental performance assessments, access to the Athlete's Mental Edge workbook system, and pregame podcasts and tools you can use between sessions to reinforce what you're learning.

How much does mental performance coaching cost?

Pricing varies based on the length and format of your program. The first month of coaching is $700 and each additional month is $600. Call 407-909-1700 or book a free 15-minute intro session to get a quote based on your specific goals and schedule. Athletes must commit to one month of coaching for 4 weekly sessions.

Who are the coaches at Peak Performance Sports?

Every coach is certified in the Mental Game Coaching Professional Certification system created by Dr. Patrick J. Cohn, Ph.D., who has coached athletes for more than 40 years, including professionals in the PGA Tour, NFL, NHL, MLB, NASCAR, MLS, LPGA, and Olympic sports.
