Seth Rose, PhD, CMPC® , BCB-HRV

Hi, I'm Dr. Seth Rose, a Sport and Performance Psychology specialist, Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and a Ph.D. in Sport and Performance Psychology. With over eight years of experience, I specialize in designing and implementing holistic mental performance programs that include mental skills training, performance enhancement techniques, and cognitive development. Having worked with U.S. Military Special Operations communities, elite athletes, and coaches at every level, I bring a wealth of experience in helping high-level performers optimize their mental readiness and effectiveness. My mission is to empower individuals to achieve sustainable peak performance by harnessing the power of their minds to excel when it matters most—in sports, work, and life.

 

I have consulting experience with a multitude of sports such as baseball, softball, golf, pole vaulting, rugby, rowing and crew, soccer, basketball, martial arts, endurance athletes (swimming, cycling, running, triathlon), and many more at both the club, intercollegiate, and elite levels. I currently serve as a Cognitive Performance Specialist for U.S. Military Special Operations communities in the National Capital Region. 

 

My expertise lies in mental training for performance enhancement, heart rate variability biofeedback, emotional and self-regulation strategies, psychological well-being and coping, and leadership and teambuilding training. I'm dedicated to unlocking human excellence and I'm driven to understand the emotional underpinnings of sport and performance.

 

Previously, I've worked at several colleges and universities including Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Stanislaus, and the University of Idaho as both teaching faculty and mental performance consultant within their athletic departments. I've completed my M.S. in Kinesiology specializing in Sport and Performance Psychology from Cal State Fullerton and my Ph.D. in Education specializing in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology from the University of Idaho.

 

I'm a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®) with the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) who is passionate about unlocking human excellence and training individuals to reach health and performance goals through systematic mental skills training, data-informed analytics, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness-based approaches, and leadership development. I routinely integrate biofeedback technology for learning optimal self-regulation of one's psychophysiology including heart-rate variability and am certified in Heart Rate Variability - Biofeedback (BCB-HRV) through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA). I have also completed my Precision Nutrition Level 1 Sleep, Stress Management, and Recovery Coaching Certification.

​

I enjoy training and racing triathlon in my free time, including long-distance/Ironman events, enjoying nature and outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and spending time with my wife, Erin, and two dogs, Charlie and Tito.
