Superior Sports Psyche's Mission
Superior Sports Psyche (SSP) was organized to assist athletes of all ages to become the best possible athlete they can become, by providing a systematic proven mental training techniques to reach peak performance.
Superior Sports Psyche (SSP) was founded by Certified Mental Performance Coach Brian McSparron. His love for sports and psychology are the perfect combination for his sports psychology practice at Superior Sports Psyche. As an experienced athlete, coach and educator, Coach Brian, recognizes first hand just how important mental training is in relation to successful performance. Through his sports coaching, Coach Brian has dealt with countless athletes that needed a “perfect plan” in order to have success. This need for perfection is often the catalyst for disappointments and let downs thereby crippling athletic performance. Coach Brian has the programs tools to teach and coach athletes how to uncover these perfectionist thinking obstacles and replace them with high confidence and concentration skills.
The old saying that sports is 90% mental and 10% physical is so true, yet, athletes and coaches, spend most of their time focusing on the physical component and very little on the mental, thus the athlete never gets to their full potential. American Long-Distance runner, Lynn Jennings says it perfectly “mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles in your body.”Your mind is the key to your success, whether that is on the court, in the race or on the playing field. Whether your a youth athlete, high school athlete, college/professional athlete, or a competitive recreational athlete, let SSP be that coach to help you develop that superior sports psyche.
Through Superior Sports Psyche mental coaching programs, athletes will learn mental tools that they can implement into their performance to help them control their performance fears and anxiety. SSP focuses on improving confidence, enhancing trust, improving concentration and overall performance. When working with SSP, athletes will complete an Athlete Mental Aptitude Profile to help assess the athlete’s mental problem areas, thus being a key guide to developing a winning mental training plan to overcome barriers that have been hurting performance. Additionally, SSP understands that families/coaches are an asset to the development of the athletes mental performance, and SSP will work with the athlete deal with communication problems and identify what the family/coach can do to support performance.

Brian McSparron
As a Certified Mental Sports Performance Coach and the Owner of Superior Sports Psyche, I fully believe that for mental skills programs to be effective, they must provide coaches and athletes with functional tools that will be used and easily applied to their respective sports. Many athletes have the physical skills to compete, however, mentally they struggle, which holds them back from having true athletic success. I wanted to take my educational background and coaching experience to help athletes develop the proper mindset so they can become the “best” athlete that they strive to become. That’s how Superior Sports Psyche was developed. To help athletes overcome their biggest opponent…Their Minds!!! Through my individualized mental coaching program, athletes will learn mental tools to assist them in gaining that positive mental mindset to put them above their competition. Feel free to call or text me at (770-235-2301) or email (brian@sspmentalcoaching.com) to learn more about how to achieve your full potential.
As physical educator, I loves to be active and competing in many different activities/sports including adventure races, 5k and 10K road races and triathlons. I still compete playing hockey as well as in tennis. I am moving out of my comfort zone and entering the music field as I'm learning to play the bagpipes. Through this process, I am applying my mental skills training to keep me focused and staying confident.
