Mental Performance and Mental Wellness Programs for Athletes

Support for the Athlete and the Person Behind the Performance

TAKE IT TO THE
NEXT LEVEL.

PurposeSoul® Athletics provides mental performance and non-clinical mental wellness coaching for athletes at every stage of their journey.

Whether you are working toward the next level, competing professionally, navigating college athletics, preparing for life after sports, or trying to reconnect with yourself, you deserve support that recognizes everything you carry beyond your performance.

Led by mental performance coach, author, and speaker Misty Buck, our services help athletes strengthen their inner game while developing practical tools for greater confidence, focus, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and resilience.

Our Services

Athletes, parents, coaches, and teams come to PurposeSoul® Athletics when their inner game needs a better game plan.

You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support. You may simply know that something in your inner game needs attention, whether that involves mental performance, confidence, focus, mindset, mindfulness, emotional wellbeing, or navigating life beyond sport.

Looking for an engaging speaker, workshop facilitator, or mental performance coach for a team, school, organization, or event? PurposeSoul® Athletics also offers signature programs designed to support stronger athletes, healthier teams, and more meaningful conversations around mental health.

1 on 1 Coaching

Private coaching gives you a confidential space to talk openly about what is happening in your sport and your life.

Together, we identify the thoughts, emotional patterns, habits, and situations that are interfering with your performance or well-being. You will develop practical strategies you can use before competition, in the moment, after setbacks, and throughout everyday life.

Sessions are available virtually, with limited in-person availability in South Florida.

Best for: Athletes who want individualized guidance, accountability, and practical tools based on their personal experiences and goals.

Mental Performance Coaching for Student Athletes

Student-athletes are balancing much more than practices and games. Academic responsibilities, playing time, family expectations, social media, NIL opportunities, team dynamics, injuries, travel, and questions about the future can all affect the way an athlete thinks, responds, and performs.

PurposeSoul® Athletics helps student-athletes build practical tools for their mental game while creating space for the person they are becoming.

Best for: College and high school athletes, parents, coaches, athletic departments, teams, and player-development programs.

Mental Health and Mindset Coaching for Professional Athletes & Retired Athletes

Professional athletes operate in an environment where expectations, scrutiny, uncertainty, competition, and personal responsibility can become difficult to carry alone.

For retiring athletes, leaving professional sports can affect nearly every part of an athlete’s life. Your daily structure changes. The competition changes. Relationships may change. The attention may shift. Questions about identity, purpose, finances, career direction, and belonging can surface at the same time.

Private coaching provides a confidential space where you can step outside of the athlete role and have honest conversations about what is happening beneath the surface.

Important Note About Coaching

PurposeSoul® Athletics provides non-clinical mental performance, mindfulness, and personal-development coaching. Coaching is not therapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

Coaching may complement support from a licensed therapist, psychologist, physician, athletic trainer, sports psychologist, or another qualified professional.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Not Sure Which Program is Right For You?

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

During a complimentary Reset Strategy Call, you can share what is happening, ask questions, and learn which form of support may fit your current needs.

Athletes, parents, coaches, team leaders, and organizational representatives are welcome to schedule a conversation.

The Wellness Experience by The Silent Injury was held in May 2022 at Yoga Factory Weston. Misty Buck was invited to speak to student-athlete leaders from St. Thomas Aquinas High School’s football team. She also donated copies of her book, the “Athlete Mental Health Playbook” to everyone in attendance. The afternoon also included a yoga and sound healing session and a Q&A with Miami Dolphins’ beloved player, Jerome Baker, and Raven Fairley, founder of The Silent Injury.

You're Human; Not A Robot

Four of the most common areas that our programs address are:

Identity

Many athletes struggle with their identity outside of sports. Who are you if you're no longer an athlete? What purpose or calling do you have now? We will work with you to help you in your next steps after sports. Get to know yourself so that you don't get lost.

Negative Thought Habits

Negative thought habits and poor self-talk can take you out of your game. If you want to perform at your best and be your best in all areas of your life, you have to do the inner work including optimizing your mindset.

Stress Management

Challenges in life are inevitable. Learn how to overcome worrying thoughts and stress so you can enjoy peace, clarity, and focus. Get a better understanding of the things that push your buttons so that you can build a plan of reliency to navigate difficulties and challenges.

Emotional Resilency

Give yourself permission to acknowledge and share your feelings. You're human, not a robot which means that emotions are unavoidable. You don't have to suffer and you don't have to ignore your feelings. When you learn to manage your emotions, you will have the ability to enjoy transformational clarity and deal with problems before they become major issues.
