Who we are

Located in Sanford, North Carolina, Peregrine Rising was founded by Dr. Tyler, who holds a Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology and has competed in competitive team sports at the collegiate level (ice hockey), in individual sports (triathlon and CrossFit), and in motorsports (rock crawling). He worked as the lead researcher and presenter at Resilience Through Movement Foundation, giving seminars to coaches and athletes on the science behind the benefits of physical activity for mental health. He has given leadership talks to sports teams and professionals, using his military, athletic, and life experiences to demonstrate how mental performance skills go far beyond sports; they apply to life.

At Peregrine Rising Mental Performance, we believe that building stronger athletes begins with building stronger people. Our mission is to help athletes not only sharpen their mental skills for sport, but also apply those same skills to life beyond the game. We focus on understanding the unique needs of each athlete and team, tailoring our approach to bring out their best. Through personalized strategies, practical tools, and a commitment to growth, we help individuals rise to their full potential on the field, in the classroom, and in life.

While working together, we can help develop athletes, teams, coaches and professionals with:

  • Elite Performance Mindset

  • Motivation

  • Anxiety / Arousal Control

  • Imagery / Visualization

  • Self-Confidence and Perception

  • Goal Setting

  • Concentration, Awareness, and Focus

  • Injury Recovery

  • Group and Team Dynamics

  • Leadership

  • Character Development

  • Communication

  • Competition Preparations

  • and more!

At Peregrine Rising Mental Performance, we use Positive Coaching and Self-Determination Theory approaches with athletes, teams, coaches, and professionals. We believe that the whole athlete must be developed to unleash their full potential in sports and life.

Dr. Tyler’s true passion is passing on his knowledge to the next generation of athletes and professionals so that the next generation far surpasses anything anyone could imagine.
