What is SPP?

Today, achieving peak performance involves more than reaching peak physical fitness. Potential isn’t realized by chance, and we know that natural ability is only part of the equation. The field of sport and performance psychology focuses on providing every performer the resources to power their inner edge by strengthening the ability to perform, as well as the ability to thrive. So how do you begin? May I suggest connecting with a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC). In other words, ME!

At Transpire Performance, we work together in support of overcoming performance obstacles and to restore high performance levels. Whether it’s low self-confidence, a dip in motivation, handling competitive pressure, recovering from injury, or improving team dynamics, your support is tailored to meet your individual or team needs.

A common misconception is that sport and performance psychology exists only to help elite athletes win. In reality, sport and performance psychology professionals support people at every age and across a variety of performance contexts, including the following:

  • Sport (athletes and coaches)

  • Exercise (persons of all ages and activity levels)

  • Tactical (military, firefighters, police)

  • Performing Arts (dancers and musicians) 

  • Business (executives) 

Effective practice in the field of sport and performance psychology involves the use of evidence-based approaches, methods, and interventions. It also includes a consideration of relevant cultural variables that may be impacting one’s experience.

Although there are many potential intervention targets (e.g., goal setting, concentration, motivation, relaxation, imagery), the general objective is to teach mental skills necessary to perform consistently. So I ask, “What are you holding onto that is holding you back?”
