Sydney Prokupek, Founder & Head Mental Skills Coach
B.A. Neuroscience & Behavior, M.A. in Sport and Performance Psychology (Expected June 2025)

I was raised in Colorado and played Division III lacrosse at Wesleyan University. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience & Behavior and received my Mindfulness Meditation Coaching Certification through Dharma Moon. I will graduate in June 2025 with a master’s in Sport and Performance Psychology and am on track to earn my CMPC certification in 2025. I’ve combined my education and personal experiences fuel my passion for helping athletes navigate their own unique paths in sports.
My professional career began as the Director of Partnerships and Mindfulness Coach at a mindfulness-focused training company for athletes. I interned at West Point Academy’s Center for Enhanced Performance in the Summer of 2024 where I provided mental skills training to cadets. At Snap, I work with a wide range of teams and individuals youth up to the professional level, providing them with tools to navigate and excel in sport and life. I also work with athletes going through injury recovery, life/sport transitions, and adult athletes (at the competitive and recreational level).
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 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.
