Dr. Trent Claypool - Colorado Springs Sport Psychologist

At Summit Sport Psychology, we see performance as far more than  stats, trophies, or conventional toughness. It's about how you  authentically show up—when the pressure's on, when doubt creeps in, and  when your heart's fully present in the moment.

Based in the Colorado Springs region, Summit empowers athletes,  coaches, and performers to develop the mental skills that foster consistent success while honoring your whole self. We thoughtfully  integrate cutting-edge sport psychology techniques, trauma-informed care, and performance coaching to help you compete from a place of  freedom rather than fear.

Our approach balances the pursuit of excellence with  deep connection—to yourself, your teammates, and the process of growth.  Whether you're a high school athlete seeking genuine confidence, a collegiate team building a culture of trust, or a coach leading with  heart-centered clarity, we help you transform your relationship with  performance.

I don't just want you to play better. I want you to be free. Free to trust yourself, take risks, and experience the kind of joy that  performance is meant to bring.

My approach blends mental performance coaching,  psychological flexibility, and nervous system regulation—tools that move you from surviving pressure to thriving in it. Most people think mental  performance is just about mindset. But the mind is only one part of the system.  At Summit, we go deeper—training the nervous system, emotional agility, and internal alignment so that peak performance becomes a natural byproduct of who you are.

We don't just offer motivation—we offer tools  grounded in science and tailored to your journey. Because the best  competitors are the most centered, connected, and courageous ones.
