FAQ

 What is EXTA?

EXTA stands for excelling through adversity, and it is the first tech enabled mobile app that creates mental skills training for athletes who desire it. We provide licensed sports psychologists and mental sports performance coaches to help athletes with a variety of mental issues, from sports performance to personal issues that may be affecting their way of life on and off the field. 

How do I get started?

Book a free consultation to speak with the Co-Founders to discuss the pilot program. We will match you with an EXTA coach once you have completed your brief assessment. 

Is my EXTA coach a sports psychologist?

Because the supply doesn't support the demand, every EXTA coach is not a sports psychologist. But all EXTA coaches are either licensed  sports psychologists, certified mental performance sports coaches, or certified mental skills training coaches. All of our EXTA coaches have been trained on specifically how to navigate and understand the student athlete/athlete experience. 

How do I communicate with my EXTA coach?

You will communicate via text, call, or live video chat with your EXTA coach.  A 40 minute "Excel" session with your EXTA coach will take place when your schedule aligns, in which you will discuss your plaguing issue. Choose time slots when you are available, and we will match you up with your EXTA coach. You also have the opportunity to text your EXTA coach Monday-Friday(8am-5pm), and you will receive daily motivational text messages from the EXTA Co-founders.
 

How much does EXTA cost?

EXTA is a subscription service, providing performance advice, mental skills and mental training for athletes. One session is only $55 . Finding sports psychologists can sometimes be hundreds per visit and extremely time consuming. In addition, many platforms offer subscription fees but with us you can schedule once or ten times, or however many times you feel you need to speak to someone for support. For athletes at participating colleges, EXTA is completely free. Because we pride ourselves on service, we offer scholarships for high school athletes and college athletes to also have access if they cannot afford the session fee. 

How does EXTA protect my privacy?

All EXTA coaches use Hippa compliant platforms to communicate with EXTA athletes, your personal information is private.
