Program
2028 grad preparing for the college recruiting summer?
You’re in the right place.
The recruiting summer isn’t just physical…
it’s mental.
Constant evaluation.
Comparison to others.
Fear of failure.
Need for high pressure performances constantly.
And typically, no real support for how to handle it.
This is where mental performance matters.
This is where we come in.
We work 1:1 with lacrosse athletes to help them handle the pressure, confidence swings, and mental challenges that come with the recruiting process.
Instead of reacting to every performance or comparison, athletes learn to reset quickly, stay focused, show up consistently, and find their full potential in the moments that matter most.
Introducing:
The Cognelite Recruiting
Performance Program
A structured, high-level mental performance program designed specifically for lacrosse athletes navigating the recruiting summer.
Through consistent 1:1 support, athletes build the confidence, focus, resilience, and mental skills needed to perform at their best on the field and feel the best off the field during the most important stretch of the recruiting process.
June 1 - September 1
