Welcome to Living the Dream Sports! Since our establishment in 2012, we've been dedicated to empowering athletes, coaches, parents, and sports organizations. Originally starting as a club baseball program focused on physical training, we have evolved to emphasize mental performance training, leveraging the expertise of our owner, Derick Snell, who's playing and coaching career spans 4 decades.  As a player Derick had an innate ability to think quickly on the field and mat to gain advantages over his opponents.  As a coach, Derick enjoys the chess match that happens during competitions and always looks for opportunities to teach his student athletes about the mental side of sports.  Players who are able to know themselves and are able stay within their strengths and look to expose their opponents' weaknesses, patterns and tendencies are the players that have such a distinct advantage even if they lack the physical skills sets of their opponents.  Living the Dream Sports has helped players at the youth, high school, college and professional level achieve their peak performances.

Derick's educational background and job experience in chemical dependency directly shaped this new approach to mental performance/sports psychology training.  Derick believes in this method so much in 2024 he was able to get his business model of intellectual property copyrighted to protect this amazing opportunity for athletes to grow and learn together in what Derick calls "Sports Therapy".  Living the Dream Sports offers not only athlete mental performance training, but also does coach and parent educational mental performance training as well.  With over 100 total courses, some general and some very sports specific, there isn't an area of mental performance or sports psychology training that Derick hasn't attempted.  Adapting to today's culture and world has allowed the growth of classes that Living the Dream Sports can offer.  Everything from overcoming the fear of failure and pursuit of perfection to learning what types of goals and goal setting is, to motivation, pressure, and learning techniques such as mental imagery, breathing and emotional regulation, Living the Dream Sports has you covered.  Most classes and seminars are offered as an educational, development, theory or techniques based mental performance opportunity.
