What makes Trent Claypool with Summit Sport Psychology LLC a good neighbor?
Peak athletic performance isn't just about physical training—it's equally about what happens in your mind. Trent Claypool, founder of Summit Sport Psychology LLC, joins us to reveal how mental performance training can transform not just athletic achievement but entire lives.
Claypool brings a powerful dual perspective as both a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience and a sports psychology specialist who has worked with elite athletes for the past decade. His journey began with helping athletes address mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, then evolved into optimizing performance through specialized mental techniques. As he explains, "Sports psychology is about enhancing performance, not just fixing issues."
One of the most eye-opening moments comes when Trent dismantles common misconceptions about mental training. The mind isn't static; it's remarkably adaptable through neuroplasticity. Mental strength isn't something you're simply born with—it can be developed through consistent practice, just like physical strength. This revelation transforms how we think about performance psychology, making it accessible to anyone committed to improvement.
Trent's personal story adds profound depth to his professional expertise. At 15, he experienced devastating loss when his best friend died by suicide, followed by the Columbine tragedy. Rather than being defined by trauma, Trent channeled these experiences into post-traumatic growth, developing resilience that now informs his approach with athletes facing their own challenges. His unique combination of clinical expertise with performance psychology creates a comprehensive approach that addresses both immediate performance goals and deeper psychological well-being.
