Your Path to Becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant

CMPC Mentorship for Aspiring Mental Performance Consultants

So You’re Pursuing CMPC Certification—Here’s What You Need to Know About Mentorship

If you're on the path to becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), first—congratulations. You're pursuing meaningful work in a growing field that blends science, psychology, and performance in a way that truly impacts lives. Whether you're an aspiring practitioner, graduate student, or someone transitioning into this space from another profession, you're likely starting to realize that the mentorship process is a cornerstone of CMPC certification.

Since you’re here, you may be wondering:
What does a good CMPC mentor do? What will I get out of mentorship? And how can we make those hours impactful—not just a box to check?

I’m Dr. Brooke Fuller, Ed.D., CMPC, and I mentor aspiring professionals like you through the certification journey. With over experience teaching in higher education, applied sport psychology, and professional mentoring, I’ve walked the path you’re on. My goal is to guide you in developing not just competence, but confidence in your future practice.

Let’s break it down.

Why Mentorship Matters in the CMPC Process

Mentorship isn’t just about accumulating hours—it’s about refining your identity as a practitioner.

According to the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), you must complete a minimum of 400 hours of mentored experience, with 50 of those hours supervised by a CMPC (40 mentorship/10 direct knowledge-if you’re unsure of what these are, reach out!). These hours allow you to gain real-world experience, integrate academic learning, and reflect critically on your development.

But here's the thing: not all mentorship experiences are created equal.

Your mentor should not only know the field—they should help shape your fieldwork experience, build your applied skillset, and help you feel seen, supported, and challenged. That’s what I strive to do.

What CMPC Mentorship Looks Like at Fuller Mindset

The first step in starting your CMPC mentorship experience is to make sure we'd be a good fit.
Next you will schedule you first session. You will then be prompted to complete the Mentor-Mentee Agreement.
Begin speaking with coaches and athletes to get the word out that you are offering mental skills training services. Meet with Brooke once a week or every other week for our mentorship sessions. Our meeting frequency can be varied, but in order to stay focused on your goal of attaining your CMPC, I recommend these time frames.
You will be tracking your direct client contact, support activities, and mentorship hours along the way. We will work together to set goals to keep you on track to complete your CMPC hours in the time frame you desire.
As you get closer to completing your mentorship hours we will begin discussing how to submit your CMPC application and how to best prepare for your CMPC exam.
After you complete your hours, you will submit your application for approval to take your CMPC exam.
After you pass your exam you will then be able to begin working with athletes and performers as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant!

When you mentor with me through Fuller Mindset, we don’t just tally hours. We build a process that’s tailored to your experience level, learning style, and career goals.

Structured Sessions

Sessions vary, but many include some of the following:

Wins & Updates – What progress have you made in your applied work? Let’s celebrate what’s going well.
Focus Topics – We’ll cover themes like case conceptualization, intervention design, assessment, and navigating systems (teams, schools, organizations), and any specific topics you’d like to dive into more deeply.
Client Case Reflection – We use (mostly) real or hypothetical client scenarios to explore your decision-making, approach, and professional boundaries.
Skill Building – We’ll workshop tools you can use with clients, discuss research-to-practice applications, and find ways to enhance your practice.
Action Steps & Feedback – Each session ends with takeaways, action items, and space for your questions.
