Sydney Prokupek, Founder & Head Mental Skills Coach

B.A. Neuroscience & Behavior, Pursuing M.A. in Sport and Performance Psychology, Expected Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) 2025

I was raised in Colorado and grew up playing competitive lacrosse, eventually playing Division III lacrosse at Wesleyan University. My journey through sport has brought lots of highs and lows — from championships to career-ending injuries and everything in between. These personal experiences fuel my passion for helping athletes navigate their own unique paths in sports.
I graduated with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience & Behavior from Wesleyan University. I've combined my love for athletics, my passion for helping people, and education in psychology/neuroscience. I am currently pursuing a master’s in Sport and Performance Psychology and am on track to earn my CMPC certification in 2025. Additionally, as a certified Mindfulness Meditation Coach, I bring an additional layer of expertise to mental performance training.
My professional career began as the Director of Partnerships and Mindfulness Coach at a mindfulness-focused training company for athletes. I also interned as a mental performance coach at West Point Academy’s Center for Enhanced Performance in the Summer of 2024 where I worked with cadets in military training. My current work includes a wide range of athletes, from middle school teams to professional levels, providing them with tools to navigate and excel in sport and life. 
With my personal experiences and academic background, I am committed to helping athletes become their best selves both in and out of sport. This goes beyond performance, as I am a mental health advocate and prioritize everyone’s well-being first and foremost. My goal is to foster meaningful connections and empower athletes to take control of their well-being and performance, turning their minds into their greatest superpower.
