Sam Buxbaum

My name is Sam and I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) with my master's degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver, a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Colorado College, and I am a 200-hour certified yoga instructor.

My passion for Sport and Performance Psychology stems from my career in competitive gymnastics, collegiate diving, and teaching yoga and meditation. I found the field of Sport and Performance Psychology as a gymnast when I experienced that my physical performance and "mental game" were intimately related - I realized that I could befriend my mind to be my ally, not my enemy.

In addition to training the body with exercise, healthy foods, and rest, it is imperative to train the mind for optimal performance. Our mind is just a fancy muscle after all, capable of amazing feats!

I specialize in working with gymnasts, divers, rock climbers, and collegiate athletes to help them overcome mental barriers to experience more focus and passion in sport and beyond!

To see if working with Samantha is a fit for you or your child, let's chat!
