About Us


A very simple question is what led to the formation of Soul Performance Academy.  That question is:

“What percent of _______________ is mental?”

It did not matter if we asked football players, volleyball players, percussionist, or even vocal performers.  The answers were almost always the same.  Most responded with somewhere between 70 to 90%.  Then, when we asked how much time was spent working on the mental aspect of their craft, it was between 0-20%.  This huge disparity is what guides us.

A lot of buzzwords are being used like Mental Toughness, Grit, and Mindfulness.  While all these aspects are important, they key is developing a program that is specific not just to your discipline, but also specific to the person.  Soul Performance Academy does not provide “cookie cutter” solutions to create “mental toughness”.  What we do provide is a Mental Skills Training plan that is specific, long term, and adjustable.

We make sure our staff is current with the latest methods in performance psychology and mental skills training, and combine that with the latest technology to provide top of the line training for individuals, groups, and entire programs.  We work with athletes from the junior ranks to the professional level.  We also have solutions for those in the performing arts like marching band, orchestra, and vocal performance.  Lastly, we work with companies who are looking for ways to motive workers, increase efficiency, and build a team culture.
