Chloe Maleski
Mental Performance
Hey there, I’m Chloe!
My journey into Sport Psychology began with a twist of fate during my time as a track athlete at Duke University. Despite earning a scholarship, I faced setbacks due to performance anxiety. Determined to unravel this challenge, I delved into the intersection of mental health and athletic excellence, realizing its profound impact. This epiphany ignited my passion for unlocking the untapped potential within athletes.
Post-Duke, I embarked on a holistic wellness odyssey, spanning roles as an Equinox personal trainer, a board-certified health coach, and a psychology graduate from Pepperdine University. My quest for understanding led me to collaborate with Dr. Hastings, the LA Rams’ esteemed sport psychologist, while concurrently supporting Arizona State University’s student-athletes.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I’m an advocate for hybrid fitness and personal growth. My coaching ethos blends visualization, mindfulness, stress management, and cognitive performance techniques to cultivate resilience and well-being. Rooted in my collegiate struggles, my multidisciplinary approach aims not just for athletic enhancement, but holistic transformation.
My journey isn’t just about breaking records; it’s about shattering barriers and inspiring others to do the same. Ready to unleash your full potential? Let’s embark on this transformative journey together!
