Meet The Founder: Stephanie Hale-Burkhart

Throughout my life, sport has been the environment that has tested me, stretched me, and forced me to take an honest look at myself. Through my experiences as an athlete, a coach, and now a professional in Performance Psychology, I’ve learned that sustained excellence isn’t a passive process - it’s active work built through self-awareness, disciplined preparation, and a mindset that knows how to filter noise and fuel trust regardless of circumstance.

I am passionate about working with individuals who seek clarity, ownership, and consistency when the stakes are high. I’m confident in my ability to help those looking to develop a mindset that supports both identity and execution. That confidence comes from lived experience, ongoing refinement of my craft, and a belief I hold firmly: you already have what you need to perform at your best. The work is learning to trust it, access it, and commit to it - rep after rep, moment after moment.

Let’s get to work.
