The focus was to provide insight into popular topics that assist athletes in their mental and physical performance. Today, the organization has expanded its consulting services for athletes, coaches, parents of athletes, and all other sports professionals at all levels and ages of sport. Specializing in mental mindset techniques, sports medicine, and sports nutrition, GP is focused on educating future sports professionals and providing active services for all high performers!

Welcome to Gravitational Performance, a cutting-edge organization that provides advanced training and coaching solutions to athletes and coaches in various sports disciplines.

At Gravitational Performance, we recognized early on that mental readiness plays a vital role in athletic success, which led Cheryl McCormick to develop our unique Mental Adaptive Analysis Assessment. This innovative evaluation goes beyond traditional psychological testing by implementing reaction time tasks and interactive scenario simulations to measure an athlete's cognitive agility, stress responsiveness, and decision-making consistency under pressure. Conducted entirely online, this assessment ensures accessibility and convenience while delivering actionable insights through a series of interactive exercises and cognitive challenges. Sophisticated algorithms analyze performance patterns, allowing us to offer personalized recommendations that enhance mental training and support every athlete's journey—all without the need for any in-person data collection.
One notable success story involves a collegiate athlete who struggled with managing anxiety during high-stakes plays. Through the Mental Adaptive Analysis Assessment, Coach McCormick pinpointed moments of cognitive overload, enabling him to design tailored training interventions such as targeted breathing techniques and scenario-based mental exercises. As a result, the athlete not only refined his in-game decision-making but also experienced a significant boost in overall performance, showcasing the powerful impact of addressing mental dynamics in competitive sports.
