Mental performance isn’t a luxury. It’s your edge. PsyOPTIMAL is redefining how champions are made—one brain, one team, one decision at a time.
WHO WE HELP
Support For High-Performing Athletes
Picture a High-Performing Athlete. What do you see? Someone grinding in the weight room? Dialing in mechanics? Repeating reps until muscle memory kicks in? Now imagine an athlete who trains their mind just as intentionally—because real elite performance starts between the ears.
At PsyOPTIMAL, we don’t just prepare athletes for games. We equip them to win the battles that matter most—resilience under pressure, laser-like focus, emotional control, and team cohesion when it counts.
Founded by Dr. Wayne Chappelle, an NBA team psychologist, PsyOPTIMAL translates 25+ years of cutting-edge military and sports psychology into a powerful framework for player and staff development. Our roots in special operations, have evolved into proprietary psychological tools now used across the NBA, D-1 athletics, elite high school programs, and leadership teams.
While most programs focus solely on physical performance, PsyOPTIMAL delivers customized mental performance assessments —like ACE + Cohesion, Sports Tactics Inventory, and Sports Wellness — that give you a clear, data-driven view of what’s happening above the neck. These insights are translated into actionable strategies for both athletes and staff.
Because real toughness isn’t just surviving stress. It’s understanding it, navigating it, and then thriving it.

WHAT WE OFFER
How the PsyOPTIMAL Team Can Help You & Your Team
At PsyOPTIMAL we redefine what it means to train for high performance. Yes, elite athletes and staff spend countless hours in the gym—but true greatness comes from understanding and strengthening the mind. We help athletes, coaches, and support staff dive deep into personalized data to uncover what drives them, what holds them back, and how to unlock greater focus, resilience, and clarity. Mental and emotional fitness isn’t optional—it’s essential. While physical training resources are everywhere, the tools to improve mindset, team cohesion, and mental endurance have lagged behind. That’s where we come in. PsyOPTIMAL gives teams and individuals the structure, insight, and expert support to train the mind as intentionally as the body—because performance starts from within.
