About: Coach Scott Papek, based in the Boston area, is an elite mindset coach dedicated to helping males of all ages max out their mindset in life and sport. Understanding the unique challenges athletes face, such as building confidence and performing under pressure, Coach Papek focuses on training the 4 C's of an elite mindset—Commitment, Confidence, Concentration, and Composure. As an ICF Certified Coach in Applied Positive Psychology, Scott leverages his expertise to help athletes, coaches, and teams break through mental barriers and reach their full potential. When working with teams, the focus is on building Ultimate Trust. His experience as a basketball coach further equips him with a deep understanding of the specific needs of athletes, coaches, and teams in today's competitive environment. He is also the co-author, along with Dr. Widman, of Max Out Mindset for Parents book/workbook, and the author of Age is Your Edge: How to Find Purpose & Fulfillment in Midlife.

Athletes face several mental challenges that can hinder their performance and growth, often without realizing how much their belief systems hold them back. They may struggle with self-doubt, fear of failure, and a lack of consistent confidence, especially under pressure. Through Scott's approach of asking the right questions and challenging their beliefs, athletes are encouraged to explore these mental barriers, become more curious about their true capabilities, and push beyond what they previously thought possible.
