Connor Payton

Welcome to my virtual home. My name is Connor Payton, and I'm a current Master’s student specializing in Sport Psychology and Exercise Physiology. I am passionate about the science behind performance in any high-intensity situation, as well as how physical and mental preparation contribute to long-term success.

 

From the time I could remember, I've had a passion for sports, but more specifically, competition. Once the reality set in that participation within these sports would not progress much further for myself, I shifted my interest to identifying and maximizing talent in other individuals. Throughout my upbringing, I have developed a unique perspective on leadership, preparation, and high-performance culture, as well as having opportunities to discuss these words and their definitions with some of the world's best, in both professional sports and the arts.

 

Although my upbringing is an important part of my story and who I am, I've always felt a call to bridge the gap between the performer you watch on screen, to the performer themselves. What is everything that makes you you? My own path is one with the desire to shift the focus to the individualized person, as well as researching techniques to best identify who are capable of consistent performance in high-intensity situations.
