Helping You Reach Peak Sports Performance

Sport Psychology and Mental Skills Training 

“The best and worst of athletic performances start in the mind, and those athletes who intentionally develop their mental skills will have a distinct advantage over the athletes who leave it to chance. Acquiring and performing skills by utilizing the innate characteristics of the mind' can propel an athlete from a bench warmer to a starter, a starter to a standout, and a standout to elite status." 

-Jeff Hoyt, Principal, The Inner Athlete

The Inner Athlete is dedicated to bringing performance optimization techniques to every athlete who wants to take their game to the next level. In addition to working with athletes, we offer consultation for coaches and parents.


Through individual and team sessions, athletes are trained in various areas, including confidence, focus, motivation, emotional control, and mental toughness. In cases where the athlete is struggling with their mental game, training can help them regain their ability to use their mental skills and produce their best performances.


In these sessions, the athlete learns a new means of personal mastery that enables them to play with consistent passion, joy, and success – the things that make participation and achievement in sports one of the best experiences in a young person’s life.  

What Clients Are Saying About the Inner Athlete

“During the season when my son’s confidence waned, Jeff redirected his self talk. Before Jeff, my son would clog his mind with too many technical details. Working with Jeff has helped him discipline his thinking and focus his thoughts to perform at his highest level.”
