Sydney Prokupek - Founder of Snap Mental Performance

Raised in Colorado and grew up playing competitive lacrosse, eventually playing Division III lacrosse at Wesleyan University. My journey through sport has brought lots of highs and lows — from championships to career-ending injuries and everything in between. These personal experiences fuel my passion for helping athletes navigate their own unique paths in sports.

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience & Behavior from Wesleyan University. I've combined my love for athletics, my passion for helping people, and education in psychology/neuroscience. I am currently pursuing a master’s in Sport and Performance Psychology and am on track to earn my CMPC certification in 2025. Additionally, as a certified Mindfulness Meditation Coach, I bring an additional layer of expertise to mental performance training.
