Mental performance is often the deciding factor in high stakes situations — whether that's in sports, performance arts, or military operations. That's why, if you're looking to coach top performers in any field, becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant®️ (CMPC) is a distinction that gives you the knowledge, skills, and credibility you need to succeed. Dominican's Master's and Certificate in Applied Sport and Performance Psychology help you meet all the prerequisites to become a CMPC. You can also choose the coaching track if your primary goal is boosting your athletic coaching skills.

Robert Chase already had a successful sales career in the healthcare sector. But he was curious about how businesses work holistically and enrolled in Dominican's MBA. And the rest is history. Inspired by what he learned about design principles and systems thinking, he saw an opportunity to reduce the enormous amounts of plastic waste in hospital operating rooms. He founded NewGen Surgical, a company that now delivers line of five sustainable products into more than a quarter of U.S. Hospitals and is growing internationally. He remains connected to Dominican by offering internships and filling key positions in his company with Dominican students and alumni.
