Certified Mental Performance Consultant

Premier Sport Psychology•Fort Myers, FL

1d•$70,000 - $80,000

About The Position

Premier Sport Psychology is seeking an experienced, highly motivated, bilingual Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) to support a professional sports organization and its affiliated teams and athletes. The position provides mental performance consulting, athlete development, and team support across multiple locations in the United States and the Dominican Republic. The consultant will deliver individual and group services, develop evidence-based mental skills strategies, and build trusted relationships with athletes, coaches, staff, and organizational leadership. The role calls for a proactive, self-directed practitioner who can work independently in the field, collaborate with leadership, and contribute to Premier’s consulting team. Fluency in Spanish and English and culturally responsive engagement, particularly with Spanish-speaking athletes, are central to the position. Based in Florida, the role involves substantial domestic and international travel, including to the Dominican Republic, Iowa, Wichita, Kansas, and other team locations. The consultant must adapt to training and competition schedules, occasional evenings and weekends, and changing travel demands. This is a hands-on, field-based role rather than a traditional office-based consulting position. Compensation is $70,000–$80,000 annually, plus a comprehensive benefits package; starting salary depends on qualifications and relevant experience.
