Hannah Prieto, M.Ed., CMPC

I’m Hannah Prieto, M.Ed., a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), former Big Ten gymnast, and PhD candidate in Sport & Performance Psychology. With master's degrees in both counseling and sport psychology, I take a whole-person, collaborative approach to performance that supports athletes’ development both within and beyond sport. As a former Division I athlete, I understand firsthand the pressure, uncertainty, and identity challenges that come with competitive sport. Through both applied work and doctoral research, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the factors that support athlete confidence, motivation, wellbeing, and long-term development. I support athletes across youth, collegiate, and professional sport as they navigate pressure, setbacks, injury, burnout, perfectionism, and transitions—so they can pursue their goals without losing their wellbeing, their sense of self, or their love for the sport. I also support parents, coaches, and organizations in creating environments that promote both healthy development and sustained high performance.
