ABOUT PEAK PERFORMANCE TWIN CITIES
The demands on young people today are higher than ever—and so are the expectations. They’re pushed to excel academically, socially, and competitively, often without the mental and emotional tools needed to meet those pressures in a healthy, sustainable way. Many struggle silently with anxiety, self-doubt, comparison, or burnout—whether in the classroom, on the field, in the arts, or simply in everyday relationships.
That’s where Peak Performance Twin Cities steps in.
Founded by licensed psychologist Dr. Tim Jandro, Peak Performance was born out of both personal experience and professional insight. In his 20s, Dr. Jandro felt lost—struggling with identity, purpose, and direction. It was through family, coaching youth hockey, and eventually entering his own therapy that he began to reconnect with himself and find meaning. He discovered a natural connection with young people and a deep desire to help them navigate the very challenges he once faced alone.
That calling led him back to school, ultimately earning his doctorate and becoming a clinical psychologist. Combining this expertise with his background as a student-athlete and youth coach, Dr. Jandro saw a critical gap: while young people had endless opportunities, they often lacked the tools to handle the pressure, stress, and constant comparison—especially in the age of social media.
Peak Performance was built to fill that gap. We help youth and young adults strengthen psychological flexibility—the ability to stay grounded under stress, regulate emotions, focus on what matters most, and take consistent, values-based action. These aren’t just performance strategies; they’re life skills that build confidence, resilience, and grit.
Through a combination of individual sessions and group-based mindfulness training, Peak Performance creates safe, supportive spaces for adolescents and young adults to explore their identity, overcome challenges, and become stronger—in sport, school, and life.
Whether it’s one-on-one coaching, performance counseling, or peer-based training, Peak Performance is more than a service—it’s a trusted guide for youth navigating the complexities of today’s world, and a catalyst for helping them become the best version of themselves.
