PERFORMANCE COACHING & CONSULTING

WELCOME

MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, and welcome! I'm Dr. Meaghan Sullivan, a Sport and Performance Psychology Specialist, a Certified Professional Coach, and a Certified Advanced Breathing Instructor. Having worked with professional and collegiate athletes, as well as with members of U.S. Special Operations Forces, I have a wealth of experience educating and training high-level performers on various mental skills and functional breathing practices that enhance overall performance readiness and effectiveness.

​

As the founder of Master Mind Performance Coaching & Consulting, I offer virtual coaching and consulting services to individuals and teams who are looking to maximize the mental side of performance, whether it be in sport, school, work, or life. As a former collegiate student-athlete, I know, first-hand, about the mental peaks and valleys that coincide with performance, and I am passionate about coaching and equipping performers like you with the tools and skills to master your minds so you can learn to master all of life's performances.

​

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Butler University, where I also competed as a four-year, NCAA Division I student-athlete on the women’s softball team. From there, I completed my graduate studies at the University of Missouri, earning my Master of Education in Career Counseling and Sport Psychology, followed by my PhD in Educational and Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Sport and Performance Psychology. I also graduated as a Certified Professional Coach from the International Coach Academy, and I earned my Advanced Breathing Instructor Certification from The Oxygen Advantage®.

"Dr. Sullivan is a phenomenal mental coach. I shoot Olympic Trap and I have worked with multiple mental coaches in the past. Dr. Sullivan has been the most influential individual in the mental game that I have today. I learned the importance of my breath, meditation, and asking the right questions. Dr. Sullivan doesn’t just list off a solution to an issue out of a book like I have experienced in the past. Dr. Sullivan listens and forms precise questions that I have never contemplated before. By utilizing my own critical thinking, I answer those questions, and we discover the solution together. Once the question is asked, and the solution is made, Dr. Sullivan also assists in developing a plan to implement the solution effectively. I have never experienced a more professional, precise, and caring mental coach during my career as a professional shooter."

A BLENDED APPROACH

Coaching is about helping you move from where you are to where you want to be. It is a dynamic, thought-provoking, and creative process that inspires you, the performer, to take charge of your personal growth by establishing meaningful goals and developing actionable plans for achieving them.

 

Consulting is about sharing specialized knowledge, strategies, and techniques to enhance your performance. I specialize in helping performers improve their attention and present-moment focus, increase self-awareness, manage intrusive thoughts and emotions, navigate perfectionism, overcome self-doubt, and enhance composure with functional breathing practices.

 

As the client, you are in the driver’s seat and have full control over the pace and direction of your coaching sessions. I will support you along the way and ask questions that will inspire self-reflection, self-discovery, and self-advocacy, which will then enable you to determine the best way to reach your desired outcome. Once you have identified your ideal path forward, I will layer in specialized skills, strategies, and techniques that will help to streamline your journey.

"Dr. Sullivan is exceptional! The quality of focus you will receive specifically towards your developmental needs for a team or individual are unmatched. The most unique aspect is her ability to so clearly connect, communicate, and support her clients with such ease. During our team exit interviews, there was one constant my team wanted us to continue implementing...and that was time with Dr. Sullivan!"

WHAT QUALIFIES AS "PERFORMANCE"?

​Performance happens any time you are expected to carry out or accomplish an action, task, or function. In reality, every day is filled with many different types of performances, some more obvious than others.​

COMMON PERFORMANCE DOMAINS

  • Sport

  • Competition

  • Job interviews

  • Public speaking & presenting

  • Performing arts (e.g., music, theatre)

  • Academics (e.g., test-taking)

  • Leadership & communication

  • Time management & productivity

  • Lifestyle habits & daily behaviors

"Dr. Sullivan is a critical part of my current mental state, and as such my success in the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). She helped me start to develop belief in myself and what I'm capable of, create self-reflections that continue to this day on how to keep myself improving and succeeding, and has always gone above and beyond to challenge me to be a better version of myself. She has gone even outside of the mental performance area to try to find areas in which she could help me in other ways. She also taught me how to be mindful in a way that allows me to keep myself in the optimal state of energy to allow for the best potential execution. I am very thankful that someone like her is willing to help people in the competitive shooting community to achieve their goals! We are a very dedicated group of people with typically high-reaching goals and not enough mentors, so Dr. Sullivan is a highly valuable resource and very much appreciated and recommended!"

IS PERFORMANCE
COACHING RIGHT FOR ME?

We can all benefit from coaching at some point in our lives, but it can be especially helpful when we're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by our current performances.

HOW MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS APPLY TO YOU?

  • Do unwanted thoughts or emotions get the best of you during performance?

  • Do you find it difficult to stay focused while performing?

  • Do you find yourself doubting your abilities?

  • Do you feel weighed-down by the pressure to perform?

  • Do you judge yourself for thinking or feeling a certain way about your performance?

  • Do you feel unsettled by a racing heart, sweaty palms, or the jitters?

  • Do you perform well in practice but struggle during competition?

  • Do you find it difficult to live up to your high personal standards?

​

If you said "Yes" to any of the questions above, then you can benefit from performance coaching.

"In the last several months while working with Dr. Sullivan, we have seen tremendous improvement in our athlete — on and off the field. The issues, learnings, habits, and skills being worked through and worked on will make a better athlete and a better human with the tools to manage ANY situation that comes up. We couldn't be more grateful for the time and guidance through this process and recommend Dr. Sullivan to anyone. For our athlete, this is the best investment we could make and are seeing MASSIVE progress."

"I was fortunate enough to begin working with Dr. Sullivan in 2019. I wish I had done so a lot sooner. Her professional advice has given me the mental weaponry I needed to become very competitive in the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). Not only that but her advice has led me to dramatically improve my quality of life, my ability as a marksmanship instructor, and tactical problem solving as a Ranger at 3/75. After working with other mental performance coaches, I can truly say that Dr. Sullivan is a true professional in the field, and I cannot speak highly enough of how valuable her insight is. 10/10 would highly recommend."

"Dr. Sullivan has an approach to her coaching that I respect and enjoy. While she is no-nonsense in her approach, she finds a way to connect at a deeper level and let you know she has your best interest in mind. She teaches you to have the tough introspective conversations and ask questions leading to self-awareness and growth. Then she's able to help you realize your true values and the reason for why you do the things you do. This allowed me to overcome the mental hurdles that had held me back, enjoy the process, and led to achieving my long-term goal of becoming a professional strongman."
