What is mental performance training?
Through the application of sport psychology priniciples, mental performance training empowers athletes, leaders, and performers with the mental skills and tools to stay composed under pressure, adapt in the moment, and compete with confidence. These skills allow them to connect with their purpose, play with joy, and curate a mindset that supports a fulfilling life on and off the field, court, ice & beyond.
We train our bodies with purpose and intention. Why leave our minds behind?

Hey everyone! I’m Meghan Hamilton, founder of Stride Mental Performance.
As a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, my role is to work alongside you, empowering you with mental skills to thrive both in sport and life. I use an evidence-based framework rooted in values-guided action, a process-oriented mindset, and intentional preparation and reflection to enhance performance and well-being.
My work is rooted in a passion for supporting athletes through every stage of their journey. By equipping performers with practical, high-impact mental strategies, I empower them to sharpen their competitive edge, play with confidence, and live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

While mental performance training is popular among athletes, performers, first responders, and professionals, training can be beneficial for any individual who is seeking to enhance their mental skills and navigate various performance challenges.

No, mental performance training is not the same as therapy services. While both mental performance training and therapy support mental well-being, they serve different purposes. At Stride, we are focused on performance enhancement through evidence-based mental skills training utilizing sport psychology principles.
If at any point clinical concerns are presented, Stride consultants will support you in getting connected with the appropriate resources.

Welcome! Please schedule a free 20-minute consultation above or reach out via our website to get started.
The purpose of an introductory consultation is to meet you in person (or virtually), learn more about your performance background, goals for working together, and key areas for growth. Equally as important, it’s an opportunity for both of us to make sure we’re a great fit to work together. From there, we will collaborate to develop a customized plan designed to support your goals.
If you are a coach, athletic director, or group leader, please schedule a consult to discuss your group or team’s strengths, areas of growth, and goals for mental performance services.
