Stephanie Zavilla is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, founder of Ignite Sport and Performance Consulting, and gets to live her dream every single day serving athletes, performers, and organizations across the World. She spent her youth playing soccer and golf, eventually resulting in a scholarship to play NCAA Division I golf for the University of South Dakota. It was there that she realized the power and potential of the mind when pursuing athletic and personal goals, and decided to attend the University of Denver, where she earned her Masters Degree in Sport and Performance Psychology. She currently serves as the Director of Sports Performance for the Winter Park Competition Center, as she has for the past 13 years, working with snow sport athletes, coaches, and parents. Through Ignite Sport and Performance Consulting, Stephanie has worked with football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, exercise endurance, surfing, mountain biking, competitive climbing, rodeo, lacrosse, figure skating, gymnastics, cheerleading, tennis, and Paralympic snow sports (to name a few!) on every level from recreational to professional/international/Olympic. Stephanie also enjoys working with first responders and armed forces, speaking at conferences/workshops/events, authoring research papers, as well as serving as a mentor or adjunct faculty for her alma mater at the University of Denver.

When she is not serving athletes, coaches, parents, and organizations, Stephanie finds happiness in hiking, camping, white water kayaking, golfing, live music, Paul Simon, and of course, skiing as many months in a row as possible (146 months and counting!)
