HPSP is a private coaching and psychology practice for high-performers in sport, business, and life.
When focus slips, pressure builds, or the stakes get real, I’m who they call to get locked back in.

My Approach
HPSP is built for people who want to operate at their highest level mentally, physically, and professionally. I don’t do surface-level advice. I combine advanced coaching, applied psychology, performance training, and non-traditional therapy to help you get clear, get disciplined, and get results.
Motivation only takes us so far. The real work is about learning how to think, train, and live with precision. Whether you're an athlete, executive, or someone navigating high-stakes transitions, I help you build habits, structure, and systems that hold up under pressure.
You’ll sharpen how you think, elevate how you move, and clean up the internal blocks holding you back all through a structured process that blends deep mental work with tactical daily execution.
Sessions are fully virtual, but the impact is real. Most clients leave not just performing better, but leading themselves with more focus, power, and purpose than they ever have before.
I’m Dr. Derek Hurschman, former professional athlete, college football coach, and now a therapist and high-performance strategist with a doctorate in Clinical and Sport Psychology. For over two decades, I’ve helped elite athletes, founders, creatives, and high-pressure professionals sharpen their mindset, build structure, and push toward their next level mentally, physically, and professionally.
My approach blends psychology, coaching, performance training, habit design, and strategic depth. It’s not traditional talk therapy, and it’s not surface-level coaching. It’s targeted, high-impact work designed to rewire how you think, move, lead, and operate.
I do not operate out of a textbook. Our work and my training are and was earned through experience, grit, and a results-driven mindset. If you’re looking for someone who’s lived it, coached it, studied it, and brings the kind of pressure that drives lasting transformation, I am who people call when they’re ready to level up.
