About Michael
My name is Mike Huber.
I am a father of two high school athletes and a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® with a master’s degree in Sport Psychology.
Almost 10 years ago, I chose to pursue a career in mental performance coaching inspired by my experiences as a father, coach, and athlete.
Today, my mission is to help young athletes become confident problem solvers in sport and life.
As of our kids get older, they seem to listen to us less, even when we have the answers to help them solve their problems.
That’s where I come in.
My job as a mental performance coach is to help guide young athletes to solutions totheir challenges while allowing them to unload the weight of those challenges along the way.
I love to be on a family’s support team. It’s a privilege to be trusted by young athletes and parents to help overcome their challenges. I take this seriously and take great pride in doing so.
I welcome the opportunity to be a part of your team.

Core Values
Stength-Based Coaching
Michael always want to demonstrate a positive attitude toward others. Certainly, there are times when honest and critical feedback will be required. However, he does his best to emphasize positive elements of your participation in his work with clients.
Accountability
Michael takes pride in holding himself and others accountable. He will take responsibility when he makes a mistake or does not perform up to a client's standards or his own. In turn, he expects that clients demonstrate the same level of accountability.
Intent > Content
Michael believes there are many different ways to “skin a cat” so to speak when delivering mental performance coaching. Thus, he genuinely believes that the intention to serve others supersedes the interventions shared with his clients.
Person > Performer
Michael believes in tending to the human being first and the athlete or performer second. Every aspect of our lives affects performance. If we do not feel cared for as a person, then achieving our human potential will be very challenging.
Authenticity
Michael intends to be his true self at all times. He will not shy away from practicing in a manner consistent with who he is as a person. Michael believes in the power of example and will do his best to model the behaviors that he would like to see from you.
