Clear & Active Performance
THE APPROACH
BE -> BECOME -> ACHIEVE
I aim to help athletes, coaches, and anyone searching for peak performance in their respective field to achieve more by first becoming more. The approach is to guide individuals to become their best selves, and success will inevitably follow.
About Me.
Hello! I am Camden Read. I am from Pleasant Grove, Utah and am the Assistant Coach and Head of Mental Performance for Southern Virginia University Men's Soccer team. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in psychology at BYU and am currently completing my Master in Sport Psychology through Capella University. I love being active, playing sports, running marathons, being outside, playing boardgames, reading books, and pushing myself to become better. I first gained interest in Sport/Performance Psychology in my senior year of High School. I had played soccer my whole life and worked very hard to become a top level player, but always had mental barriers that would hold me back. I became familiar with mental skills that could elevate my performance and immediately had a desire to share these principles with others. After returning home from serving a two year mission for my church, I embarked on a journey of learning how to aid individuals on their journey to becoming their best selves and achieve peak performance.
