Our Director of Mental Performance: Mike Mata

Mike is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®); the official title for sport psychology practitioners recognized by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP).

“As a child I was fortunate to be involved in most of the classic team sports: football (alongside Drew), baseball, hockey, soccer, swimming, etc. In my early teens, I shifted my focus toward motorsports, exploring the competitive worlds of dirt bike and quad racing. As this gained momentum, my family and I began to travel and race around the New England area. As the story goes, I ended up facing a couple of back-to-back, severe injuries. In persevering, I made the decision to channel my efforts into growth, appreciation, and giving back. My life experience and inner drive have been shaped by this intentional effort, naturally bringing me into the field of performance psychology and into this role.” - Mike Mata
