Mindset & Performance Center

The Higher Intentions Mindset & Performance Center is dedicated to developing the mental, emotional, and physical habits that support high-level athletic performance and long-term personal growth.

Led by Carolyn Smyth Murphy, the Mindset & Perforance Center provides structured support for athletes and teens through mindfulness, recovery practices, and performance-based mental training.

This department exists to complement on-court development by strengthening focus, discipline, resilience, and overall well-being.

Our Philosophy

At Higher Intentions, we believe performance is built on more than physical training. Athletes improve faster and sustain success when they develop strong mental habits, recovery routines, and self-awareness.

The Mindset & Performance Center is designed to help athletes stay grounded, focused, and consistent in both sports and life.

Who This Is For

The Mindset & Performance Center is designed for:

-  Student-athletes

-  Teens looking to build structure and discipline

-  Athletes seeking mental performance support

-  Individuals committed to personal growth and consistency

Our Approach

Our approach is simple: build better habits, improve focus, and develop resilience through consistent practice.

Everything in the Wellness Center is designed to translate directly into improved performance on the court, in the classroom, and in daily life.
