About Us

Our mission and values

We are dedicated to providing evidence-based mental skills and mindset training services to individual participants and groups of all ages across a variety of sport and performance settings (e.g., athletes, performing artists, first responders). 

Through individualized assessment and personalized services, our work aims to holistically improve client mindsets, enhance performance, increase sport and performance enjoyment, and develop skills transferable to other domains of life. All mental performance consultants (MPC trainees) through this program are doctoral students in the School of Sport Sciences at WVU working towards the Certified Mental Performance Consulting (CMPC®) credential from the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). All MPC trainees are supervised by faculty/staff who have earned their CMPC certification and are listed as approved mentors by AASP.

We demonstrate our commitment to this mission through the following actions:

• Attending ongoing individual and group supervision led by experts in the field
• Staying up-to-date with research and current media topics in the field
• Contributing and expanding scientific knowledge through rigorous research projects
• Adapting services to be developmentally appropriate for the populations we serve
• Adhering to the ethical principles and standards of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology
