FORGED offers several mental performance training programs designed to help athletes strengthen confidence, focus, and resilience.

FORGED Foundation Program
Our core 6-week program that lays the groundwork for mental performance training. Athletes learn foundational mindset skills they can apply in practice and competition.

FORGED Edge Training
Individual or small group sessions designed for athletes who want to sharpen specific areas of their mental game or continue building on the skills introduced in the Foundation program.

FORGED Academy for Teams
Mental performance training designed for middle and high school teams. Athletes and coaches learn shared mindset strategies that strengthen confidence, communication, and team culture.

Most athletes begin with the FORGED Foundation Program before progressing to Edge training for continued development, however it is not required.

Training is designed specifically for middle and high school athletes, using practical tools they can apply immediately in practices and competition. The goal is not just to improve performance, but to help athletes grow into confident competitors who can handle pressure, setbacks, and challenges both in sport and in life.

Mental performance training focuses on helping athletes develop the skills needed to perform at their best. At FORGED, athletes learn practical strategies to build confidence, improve focus, manage pressure, and respond effectively to challenges in practice and competition.

Sports psychology and therapy often focus on clinical or mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, or other psychological challenges. While there can be overlap in topics like confidence and stress management, mental performance training is centered on skill development and performance growth, not clinical treatment.

If an athlete ever needs support beyond performance training, we encourage families to seek guidance from a licensed mental health professional.

Both FORGED Foundation Program sessions and FORGED Edge training sessions can last up to 45 minutes and are conducted virtually over Zoom.

FORGED Academy for Teams sessions are 45 minutes- 1 hour and can be conducted in-person or virtually.
