PSYFI Performance Psychology – Training the Brain, Body & Breath as One
PSYFI Performance Psychology is the country’s first performance psychology company that trains the Brain, Body & Breath as one
Meet David Mykel, the founder of the Psychology-Fitness™ industry and PSYFI Performance Psychology, the country’s first performance psychology company that trains the Brain, Body & Breath as one. As a personalized performance coach, David takes a holistic approach to well-being, focusing on the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health. He empowers individuals to transform their minds through their bodies—and their bodies through their minds. David’s comprehensive method supports mental health journeys while building physical strength, fostering resilience, and unlocking peak performance for his clients.
As a child, he discovered that he excelled as an athlete and that gift could help lift him from the poor immigrant community he was raised in. He realized baseball was his way out and became a rising star on the east coast with dozens of scholarships to Division-1 schools. Immediately after graduating from high school, he played catcher in the Miami Marlins organization before attending College in New York. While refereeing ice hockey his last year of college, an unthinkable injury shattered David’s knee and the opportunity to fulfill his 17 year major league baseball dream.
Unable to play, he chose to continue his education in psychology and performance, his other passions, graduating first in his graduate school class, which propelled him into a 13-year Litigation Psychologist career. Like baseball, David rose to become one of the best in the country, but the immense pressures of this industry caused him to quit and sent him on a three-year journey traveling the world, to find himself. However, instead of an existential revelation, he found himself back in a corner office consulting in litigation, but this time, instead of battling opponents in the courtroom, he was battling for his life against suicidal depression.
“I became obsessed with the how (neuroscience) and the why (psychology) of our brains and committed to beat depression and take my life back.” said Mykel.
In 2017 he founded the Psychology-Fitness™ industry and began assisting others in their journey to become physically, mentally and emotionally stronger by integrating their Brain, Body & Breath, not separating them, which is what most programs do. He combined his education and experience as a psychologist, personal trainer, breakwork teacher, and meditation instructor, all in one package.
David arrived in the mountains three years ago after a pro-snowboard client suggested Colorado. David landed in Copper Mountain. Since his arrival he has assited hundreds of individuals helping them overcome burnout and achieve personal and professional balance through a unique coaching experience.
