Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Therapy is typically retrospective and often focused on healing clinical pathology. Dauntless Mental Performance is prospective and action-oriented. I don't "fix" you because you aren't broken.
As a mental performance consultant, I use The Dauntless Method—a structured system—to audit your mindset, build specific psychological skills, and optimize your execution. Think of mental skills training as strength and conditioning for your brain. If a clinical issue arises (like depression or clinical anxiety), I refer out to licensed mental health professionals."

A mental performance session isn't just sitting and chatting—it is active training. I utilize The Dauntless Method, a structured, evidence-based framework designed specifically for the competitive demands of elite athletes, coaches, and high-performing teams. You will leave every session with tangible deliverables. Expect interactive whiteboard strategy, performance video review, data tracking, and structured mental conditioning homework.
-
Mental skills training operates exactly like physical strength and conditioning—it requires deliberate, consistent repetitions. While many of my clients experience an immediate shift in awareness during our initial sessions, developing sustainable performance consistency under competitive pressure takes time. By consistently practicing the custom strategies we build through The Dauntless Method, athletes and coaches ensure they aren't just learning these psychological skills, but executing them when it matters most.

No. Mental performance consulting through Dauntless Mental Performance is an educational, skills-based service rather than a clinical medical treatment. Because I do not diagnose or treat psychological disorders or medical conditions, these consulting services are not covered by traditional health insurance policies. Operating outside of the managed care model allows me to focus strictly on your specific athletic and performance outcomes without the constraints or diagnostic requirements imposed by insurance companies. However, I recommend checking directly with your health insurance provider to see if mental skills training qualifies for Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) reimbursement. Dauntless Mental Performance can provide itemized receipts and documentation as necessary to assist with your HSA/FSA submission.

For the initial consultation at Dauntless Mental Performance, parents are welcome to participate. However, for ongoing mental skills training to be fully effective, the student-athlete requires a confidential, private space to be entirely honest about performance-limiting beliefs, competitive fears, and pressure without worrying about parental judgment. My consulting approach focuses heavily on building the athlete's individual autonomy so they can successfully self-regulate in the heat of competition. While the individual sessions are private, parents are always welcome to connect with me directly for high-level progress updates through the official Dauntless Mental Performance contact page or via email at colby@dauntlessmentalperformance.com

No. While my professional background is rooted in elite competitive sports, the human psychological and physiological stress response is universal. The mental skills training developed at Dauntless Mental Performance is designed for any individual who must execute high-stakes skills under intense pressure. Whether you are an athlete on the field, a performing artist on stage, an executive navigating corporate expectations, or a leader guiding an organization through uncertainty, I utilize The Dauntless Method to help you build psychological freedom, manage stress appraisal, and optimize your real-time execution.
