Certified Mental Performance Consultant

Premier Sport Psychology exists to empower people to think better, feel better, perform better, and be better.

We partner with some of the world's most competitive athletes, teams, and organizations to optimize mental performance, develop leadership, strengthen team culture, and help individuals consistently perform at their best.

Our team is passionate about delivering exceptional service, building meaningful relationships, and making a measurable impact. We are collaborative, driven, innovative, and committed to continuous improvement.

Position Summary

Premier Sport Psychology is seeking an experienced, highly motivated, bilingual Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) to support a professional sports organization and its affiliated teams and athletes.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly in a professional sports environment, providing mental performance consulting, athlete development, and team support across multiple locations in the United States and the Dominican Republic.

The ideal candidate is more than a skilled practitioner. We are looking for a self-starter, relationship builder, and go-getter who takes initiative, earns trust, identifies opportunities, and consistently follows through.

Success in this role requires the ability to connect authentically with athletes and staff from diverse backgrounds, particularly Spanish-speaking athletes, while navigating the fast-paced, demanding, and ever-changing environment of professional sports.

This individual must be equally comfortable working independently in the field, collaborating with organizational leadership, and contributing to Premier's broader team.

Key Responsibilities

1. Mental Performance Consulting & Athlete Development

• Deliver individual and group mental performance consulting to professional athletes across multiple levels of the organization.
• Develop and implement evidence-based strategies to improve confidence, focus, resilience, motivation, emotional regulation, consistency, and performance under pressure.
• Support athletes navigating performance challenges, competitive transitions, setbacks, injuries, and the demands of professional sports.
• Provide practical, actionable mental skills training that translates directly to practices, competition, and everyday performance.
• Proactively engage athletes and identify opportunities to strengthen mental performance and personal development.
• Adapt consulting approaches to individual needs, cultural backgrounds, language preferences, and developmental stages.

2. Professional Team Integration & Relationship Building

• Develop trusted relationships with athletes, coaches, player development personnel, and organizational leadership.
• Establish a consistent, approachable presence within the team environment.
• Collaborate with coaching and performance staff to integrate mental performance strategies into existing player development initiatives.
• Support group workshops, team presentations, leadership development, and organizational performance initiatives.
• Demonstrate sound judgment, discretion, professionalism, and the ability to navigate sensitive situations.
• Build credibility through consistency, follow-through, and the ability to deliver meaningful value.

3. Bilingual & Cross-Cultural Engagement

• Deliver individual consultations, workshops, educational programming, and professional communication fluently in both Spanish and English.
• Build strong, culturally responsive relationships with Spanish-speaking athletes, coaches, and staff.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the cultural considerations and experiences of athletes from the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries.
• Help bridge cultural and communication barriers that may affect athlete development, team integration, and performance.
• Adapt communication and programming to ensure athletes feel understood, supported, and empowered.

4. Proactive Program Development & Ownership

• Take initiative in identifying athlete needs, performance challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
• Develop and execute practical mental performance programming aligned with team priorities and Premier's standards.
• Establish clear goals, monitor progress, and communicate program outcomes through appropriate, confidentiality-conscious measures.
• Independently manage schedules, travel, communications, and follow-through across multiple locations.
• Anticipate needs and recommend solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Demonstrate accountability for delivering exceptional service and consistently advancing program objectives.

5. Collaboration & Professional Excellence

• Partner closely with Premier's consulting team to share insights, align approaches, and continuously improve service delivery.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential documentation consistent with professional standards and organizational requirements.
• Uphold the highest ethical standards, including appropriate professional boundaries, confidentiality, and referral to qualified mental health professionals when clinically indicated.
• Participate in team meetings, professional development, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Represent Premier Sport Psychology with professionalism, humility, enthusiasm, and integrity.

Required Qualifications

• Current Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) credential in good standing.
• Master's degree or higher in sport psychology, psychology, sport science, or a closely related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of applied mental performance consulting experience; 5 or more years strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience supporting competitive athletes in collegiate, professional, Olympic, or other elite performance environments.
• Fluent Spanish and English communication skills, including the ability to independently deliver consulting services, presentations, and professional communication in both languages.
• Strong knowledge of evidence-based mental performance strategies and athlete development.
• Demonstrated ability to develop relationships and establish credibility with athletes, coaches, and organizational leaders.
• Exceptional interpersonal, communication, facilitation, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and deliver results with limited day-to-day oversight.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently, including internationally, and work flexible hours based on team schedules.
• Ability to maintain appropriate professional boundaries and confidentiality in high-profile environments.
• Valid passport and ability to meet international travel requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience embedded within a professional sports organization or affiliated development system.
• Experience supporting professional baseball athletes and player development operations.
• Demonstrated experience working with athletes from the Dominican Republic or other Latin American countries.
• Experience designing and implementing mental performance programming across multiple teams or locations.
• Familiarity with the unique demands of professional sports, including travel, organizational transitions, competitive pressure, and player development systems.

Work Environment & Travel

This position will be based in Florida, with substantial travel to the Dominican Republic, Iowa, Wichita, Kansas, and other team locations as needed.

The role requires flexibility to accommodate training schedules, competition, organizational needs, occasional evenings and weekends, and changing travel demands.

This is not a traditional office-based consulting role. It is a dynamic, hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys being in the field, building relationships, and making an impact where athletes train and compete.

Compensation: $70,000–$80,000 annually, plus a comprehensive benefits package. Starting salary will be determined based on the candidate’s qualifications and relevant experience.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Premier Sport Psychology is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and maintaining a respectful, inclusive workplace. Employment decisions are based on job-related qualifications, skills, and business needs, consistent with applicable law.
