Each person views and experiences the world in their unique style. Appreciating individuality is essential to providing exceptional services in counseling, consulting, psychological assessment, and performance enhancement with clients, athletes, and teams. My fundamental belief is, “how we think affects how we feel and what we do each day”. Sometimes our experiences from the past, and/or present, affect our ability to function at a desired level and we struggle to complete daily tasks. This is the time to work collaboratively with a professional to help improve your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to achieve peak performance in all areas of life.

"Brian Monteleone has done a great job with our players at UNC Charlotte. His understanding of the psychological aspects of competition are clear. The way he works with people to tailor their plan for improvement based on their personal background and unique strengths is tremendous."
-Jamie Green, Head Golf Coach, Duke University

Andrew DiBetto Professional Golfer
"A former high-level athlete at the collegiate ranks, Dr. Monteleone contains a wealth of knowledge about the world of sports and the pressures and emotions that are experienced during competition. Doc and I have been working together for five years on the golf course. He possesses an excellent skill for analyzing a player and finding out what mindset and mental intensity works best for each individual. He notices small, but important details while helping a player become more aware of his strengths, weaknesses, and needs. Doc also works with individuals on how to incorporate new strategies into their practice habits so that they feel confident and prepared leading up to a tournament. I feel lucky to be working with Doc, as we now have a relationship and level of respect that transcends past golf and into all aspects of life."
-Andrew DiBitetto, Professional Golfer and Former UNC Charlotte All-American Golfer

What is Sport Psychology?


Sport Psychology is the application of psychological principles and techniques to assist athletes, coaches, and teams in developing cognitive and physical skills enhancing athletic performance in competitive situations. Sport psychologists teach athletes performance enhancing skills, mental training techniques, how to overcome psychological and performance difficulties, and assist with personal growth and development. In this way, sport psychologists help athletes increase their ability of achieving peak performances. For athletes experiencing performance difficulties, sport psychology interventions, with assistance from the coach, can help improve athletic performance and resolve difficulties to get the athlete back to peak performance. Sport psychology techniques can be used with individuals or small groups.

What is a Sport Profile?


The Sport Profile is designed to measure attributes and abilities that relate to successful performance as an athlete. The athlete completes several assessments that identify personality traits and psychological characteristics. The results are compiled into a brief report that discusses the results specific to athletic competition and the sport(s) played. Strengths and areas of improvement are identified for the athlete, along with specific suggestions to help improve mental and athletic performance. Dr. Monteleone and the athlete review the results together to answer questions and to collaboratively develop a plan to achieve your athletic performance goals. A Sport Profile can be completed for most adolescent and adult athletes. Athletes out of town will be provided feedback via phone consultation.
