At Strokis Performance Consulting, performance is about more than talent alone. Success comes from the ability to train the brain just like you train the physical and technical parts of your sport. It’s about staying focused under pressure, building resilience through adversity, and consistency when it matters most.

Founded by Katie Strokis, a former NCAA Division I athlete and experienced performance consultant, Strokis Performance Consulting works with youth and collegiate athletes, coaches, and organizations to strengthen the mental side of performance. Services are grounded in evidence-based sport psychology principles and real-world experience helping individuals and teams develop high-performance habits.

For Katie, growing up in Indianapolis surrounded by the competitive world of motorsports racing and athletics sparked a lifelong passion for sport and performance. That passion led to four years of rowing at the Division I level at the University of Alabama.

With a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from the University of Alabama followed by a Master of Science in Sport Psychology from Florida State University, the foundation of this work combines academic expertise with firsthand competitive experience.

As a consultant, Katie’s experience spans high school, collegiate, and semi-professional athletes across sports including competitive dance, cheerleading, rowing, bowling, and soccer. In addition, six years were spent supporting the U.S. Army as a performance consultant and resilience educator, helping Soldiers and Department of the Army Civilians develop mental skills and leadership capabilities in high-pressure environments.

Whether working with athletes striving for the next level, coaches building stronger team cultures, or organizations focused on leadership and resilience, the mission remains the same: helping people discover their purpose, perform their best, and be consistent when it matters most.
