About

The Center for Performance Psychology in Carlsbad operates within the National University campus on Palomar Airport Road, housing both a BA in Sport Psychology and an MA in Sport & Performance Psychology with Applied and Theoretical specializations. Staff hold Certified Mental Performance Consultant credentials through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and regularly collaborate with athletic rehabilitation providers such as ProActive Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine on return-to-play mental readiness protocols. The center publishes a quarterly journal translating peer-reviewed research into practical coaching applications and hosts free Sport Psychology Labs each quarter for San Diego County high school athletes, coaches, and parents. Programming covers goal setting, emotional self-regulation, imagery, coach-athlete communication, and focus training — applied mental-performance areas that intersect with the clinical caseload at Kealoha Psychology, Inc. in Carlsbad. Consulting engagements span individual athletes through full organizational teams, with staff combining over 30 years of applied experience across collegiate, military, and elite-competition performance settings.
