USA Fencing has partnered with SuperiorPerformance and SuperiorParent, innovative apps designed to provide constant engagement and training for mental preparation.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Fencers spend hours at their club perfecting footwork, improving hand-eye coordination, and learning moves to help them be physically prepared from head to toe.

But what about their between-the-ears preparation? More and more, the best fencers — from youth fencers to Veterans — are discovering that performance psychology can be just as important to their success as the physical game.

That's why USA Fencing has partnered with SuperiorPerformance, an innovative app designed to provide constant engagement and training for mental preparation. This collaboration aims to enhance the mental resilience and overall performance of our athletes, ensuring they are as strong mentally as they are physically. But it doesn’t end there. SuperiorParent helps parents and caregivers empower and inspire their fencers to be their best.

SuperiorPerformance, co-founded by experienced sports psychologists, is dedicated to making world-class performance psychology accessible, affordable and effective for all athletes. The app's methods are harnessed from feedback provided by USA Fencing national teams and our own sports med providers.

“We’ve heard it from Olympians, Paralympians and fencers just starting out: mental prep is just as important as physical training,” says Phil Andrews, USA Fencing CEO. “Partnering with SuperiorPerformance allows us to provide our fencers with the tools they need to excel in every aspect of the sport.”

SuperiorPerformance is led by Dr. Jim Loehr, a world-renowned performance psychologist with nearly 40 years of experience. Dr. Loehr has worked with hundreds of world-class performers across various fields, including sports, business, and law enforcement. His elite sports clients include golfers Mark O’Meara and Justin Rose, tennis players Jim Courier and Monica Seles, and Olympic gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen.

The app provides proven methods that have helped numerous world champions and top athletes, as well as CEOs and executives from Fortune 500 companies, to reach their peak performance.
