Winning Edge Sports Psychology was founded by licensed psychologist Joe Lenac in Saint Louis, MO. Joe has been active in competitive sport throughout his life, and his love of sports and psychology evolved into the sports psychology practice of Winning Edge. Joe recognized the role that mental skills play in athletic success. He believes and teaches athletes that the single most important factor to consistent successful performance is mental training. Joe recognizes that athletes want to win, but winning is not an effective goal. “Winning” at Winning Edge is developing yourself to your full potential. By focusing upon personal goals and personal growth, our athletes succeed at every level of life and sport.
As owner of Winning Edge, Joe brings his passion for sports and psychology along with twenty-eight years of professional experience to work with athletes, teams, coaches, and families. Our clients range from developing amateurs, to select juniors, to weekend warriors, to collegiate, to world class and professional. Joe’s experience includes working with the NFL St. Louis Ram’s as consulting team psychologist. His work with the St. Louis Ram’s involves teaching sport psychology skills to veteran and rookie team members as well as working with injured players.
