Zak Krysak is the Founder & Head Mental Performance Coach of The Grind Performance. After struggling with his mental game and stepping into the coaching world, Coach Zak wanted to help others perform at their highest potential while developing a system in combatting mental health issues. This is where The Grind Performance was born in helping all individuals develop the critical skills to perform at one’s highest potential within athletics, academics & life itself. Coach Zak specializes in areas of how athletes can gain numerous competitive advantages through mental tactics and game theory strategies.

After competing as a multi-sport and college athlete, I realized that elite athletes differ from average ones not by talent or physical ability, but by their mindset. Growing up, I aimed to excel in sports and did everything possible to succeed with dreams of reaching the next level. Despite training hard, working out and excelling academically, I struggled with my mental health and performance. Reaching a low point, and following the passing of my close teammate due to mental health, I made it my mission to help other athletes and provide them solutions to navigating the challenging athlete lifestyle. This shift led me to my current role today. I started coaching at the age of 16 and have been accredited with Mental Performance Mastery & NCCP certifications. My experience as a high-performance athlete inspired me to help others develop the mental skills I once needed. Having worked alongside some of the top coaches around the globe such as; Brian Cain, Tom Graham, Tony Robbins and Brenley Shapiro provides me the knowledge and expertise assisting others in reaching their full potential.
