I'MĀ ITZIK RAPAPORT
I had the pleasure of being recognized by:
- LA Galaxy
- LAFC
- DC United
- Stanford
- UCLA
- UC Irvine
- Numerous other top organizations
IĀ workedĀ with US Youth National Team players, youth academy programs, and Division 1 athletes nationwide. As a Certified Mental Performance Specialist (CMPS),Ā IĀ have assisted thousands of athletes in achieving the following:
- Staying focused under pressure
- Leading with clarity
- Performing with confidence
MY STORY
Back then, I was a Division 1 soccer player. I had the talent, the drive, and the hunger for success, but I always felt that something was missing.
When adversity hit, I lacked both the skills and the support I needed.
This experience motivated me to become a mental performance specialist. Today, I help youth athletes develop the mental skills necessary for success, not only in soccer but in life as well.
I specialize in creating programs that are specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. No two situations are exactly the same, so I work closely with each player to identify the source of any mental blocks and develop a structured plan to help them overcome these obstacles and unlock their full potential. Throughout my years of experience working with a diverse range of individuals, I have learned various techniques to guide them from their current state to where they aspire to be.
"After each session with Itzik, I felt like I wanted to hop up and start improving immediately. The tools you shared with us have seriously helped me in all kinds of situations on the pitch, in the classroom, and everywhere else in life. Learning from you was a really meaningful and powerful experience, so super thankful for all the information and inspiration you shared."

My experiences with itzik has been great. He is a dedicated, driven, and honest person. Working with him has allowed me to understand the importance of mental performance.
I would highly recommend anyone who wants to better themselves both on and off the field to work with Itzik and his program. Not only is he amazing at what he does, he genuinely cares about the people he works with.
