Barbara Edelston Peterson – Sports Psychologist


What Problem(s) Do You Solve?

Clients come to me for a number of reasons. Some are seeking mental clarity, calm, and focus as high-performance athletes. And some are seeking ways to recover from heartbreak, low self-esteem, and inability to feel inspired by themselves, therefore, their relationships suffer as does their performance in everyday life.  Solutions that are most effective and that improve almost all aspects of daily life involve: intensifying the practice of positive self-talk, increasing water intake (hydration is medicine for all humans),  establishing or reviving clean nutrition, regular physical exertion, setting and reaching goals, and genuine acts of kindness.

What Makes Your Business Unique?

I walk the walk, practice what I preach, and ‘win’ in sports and life! The rich life experiences from 22 years of competing at the highest level in off-road triathlon with 9 world champion titles, profoundly amplify my ability to understand a client’s mindset. For all people but especially for athletes, optimal mental health is the name of the game. Finding equanimity is our secret weapon, it’s the edge in sport and life. It fosters deep strength, resiliency, and durability. It expands our capacity for self-love, confidence, self-compassion, and positive self-talk amidst an intense drive to champion a goal.

To this end, I created two therapeutic techniques to enhance self-awareness, intention, motivation, momentum, and excellence: 9 to Podium and GAME F.A.C.E. In 9 to Podium, we shed obstacles and magnify strengths to reach the podium – win in sport and in life. GAME F.A.C.E. encourages people to have fun, be ambitious, commit to consistency, and reach their goals with excellence. The benefits of this tool are spectacular – we discover a simple yet powerful message with the potential for personal transformation.
