Dr. Haley Perlus: Turning Pressure Into Power
Dr. Haley Perlus is a renowned mental performance coach, author, and speaker who has made her mark as both an alpine ski prodigy and a “Performance Whisperer” for Fortune 500 leaders, Olympians, and everyday high achievers. With a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she draws from her own athletic journey and her deep belief in human potential to help individuals master their mental game, transform pressure into power, and achieve their personal gold standards. Dr. Haley is the author of Personal Podium,creator of the #MentalToughnessMoments series, and a passionate advocate for self-belief, personal growth, and mental wellness.
Takeaways:
Mental toughness is a skill, not a trait—it can be developed by focusing on motivation, confidence, focus, and anxiety control, making it accessible to anyone willing to put in the work.
Preparation trumps natural talent or pressure—the best performers build on their strengths and prepare thoroughly, enabling them to confidently “want the ball” during high-stakes moments.
Grace isn’t an excuse for inaction—you should give yourself compassion on tough days, but never let yourself off the hook completely. Doing something, even if it’s not your best, is always better than doing nothing.
Sound Bites:
“I do believe people can grow. I do believe people can change. I do believe we have more control than we give ourselves credit for.”
“Goals are great for vision, but standards are what you control and uphold daily—they become your benchmark for mental toughness.”
“Winners want the ball because they’re willing to risk, to grow, to challenge themselves, and to see what they’re truly made of.”
Quote by Mick: “You don’t rise to the occasion, you rise to your level of preparation.
