iPerformance Psychology is the worlds most advanced sport and performance psychology app. Developed by Dr. Steve Portenga, the sport and performance psychologist for the USA Track and Field Team. Dr. Portenga originally beta tested this app with Olympic athletes.
This app is a standalone utility for training athletes — both professional and amateur — to help them reach their peak performance levels. Using a combination of tried and true Sport and Performance Psychology assessments, meditations, exercises, worksheets, games, routines, and more, the iPerformance Sport & Performance Psychology Mental Skills Trainer acts as personal advisor and trainer for those wishing to improve their mental preparation and focus for sporting events.
Dr. Portenga has been quoted as saying “The app takes the best of performance psychology and integrates smartphone technology allowing me to help performers in a way not possible before. This app has grown into a tool that isn’t just a substitute for face-to-face meetings; it’s something I’m incorporating even when I meet with a performer in-person. In your hand you can now hold years of mentoring from the best sport psychology consultants, years of work as a professor in one of the most highly regarded graduate programs, and years of experience working with some of the best athletes in the USA and the world!”
The iPerformance Sport & Performance Psychology Mental Skills Trainer app came about in response to Dr. Portenga’s desire to find a more efficient and effective way to help the athletes and performers he works with develop the basic psychological and performance skills necessary for consistent performance. It started with his consulting with USA Track & Field and other professional sport franchises. He wanted a better way to communicate with the athletes with whom he was working. Due to their travel schedules, he wanted a better way to help them develop as performers when they couldn’t meet face-to-face. As an ex-engineer, he knew that the things he’s done for years to help these athletes become the best in the world could be delivered through a smartphone. Drawing on his engineering background he set out to develop an app based on his work with performers that would incorporate technology, neuroscience, and learning theory.
