Learn more about Host, Lauren Ammon:

"From kindergarten to college, I swam my way to state, national, and D1 collegiate conference championships before finally hanging up my suit and goggles and saying goodbye to competitive swimming. It was a fun ride and I loved every minute of it, but I often struggled to maximize my well-being to support my continued peak performance and reach my full potential. I started Performance Reimagined because of Michael Phelps' message during the 2020 Olympics: "Competition is overwhelming. We want someone to talk to who listens and doesn't want to fix us." That was my eureka moment. Working with athletes is where I belong. I created Performance Reimagined to support elite student-athletes to train their minds like they train their bodies; to remove the mental, emotional, and interpersonal blocks that keep them from their full potential on and off the field."
