Frequently asked questions
What is the Olympic Mindset System?
The Olympic Mindset System (OMS) is our proprietary methodology that combines elite athletic mental training, Pentagon decision-making protocols, and championship team optimization. It's a proven system built from real-world experience and not theory. It's designed to help you sustain a high level of performance under pressure and sustain it.
Who do I work with?
We work with three groups: executives and leadership teams who need to perform under sustained cognitive load, organizations looking to reduce burnout and optimize their workforce, and educational institutions supporting students, athletes, and faculty. If high-stakes performance is part of your world, we likely have a solution for you.
Is this therapy or counseling?
Not at all. We're a performance training system, not a clinical service. Think of us the way you'd think of a professional athlete's mental performance coach. We build the mental frameworks that prevent breakdown and sharpen execution. We partner with HR and leadership, not clinicians.
How is Spencer Performance Institute different from other executive coaches?
Most coaches teach theory. Shaun has lived it what he preaches. He was the pro athlete, Pentagon strategist, Hall of Fame championship coach, worked in the corporate and private sector for over 20 years, and someone who personally rebuilt his life after being homeless, using these exact strategies. That combination doesn't exist anywhere else.
Do you offer one-time workshops or only long-term programs?
Both. We offer keynotes, half-day workshops, and full-day intensives for organizations that want a powerful standalone experience. For those ready to go deeper, we offer programs ranging from 3 months to ongoing annual partnerships.
What does the process look like when we get started?
Every engagement starts with an Olympic Mindset Assessment so we understand exactly where the performance gaps are. From there, we build a customized roadmap specific to your challenges. We don't do cookie-cutter programs.
What kind of results can we expect?
Our clients experience faster decision-making, reduced performance anxiety, stronger team cohesion, and measurable improvements in execution under pressure. The goal is always the same: turn pressure into your competitive advantage, not your liability.
How do we get started?
It's easy and simple. Reach out and we'll schedule a conversation to understand your specific challenges. From there, we'll identify which pathway fits best and build from there. No pressure, no hard sell. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
