When learning a new skill, repetition is integral to building a new pattern.

The body and mind operate primarily on patterns, or habits, which are indifferent to being helpful or not. Being open, ready, and committed to consistent practice and focus on new or enhanced habits optimizes the system that creates them. Right action repetition breaks not only old ways but also solidifies new ones. That’s why the design of this 21-Day Program is to teach & practice new skills that will jump-start your natural capacity to peak performance.

About the Program

Derek Covington is a certified mPEAK instructor. This 21 day program is based on the empirically researched mindful peak performance program (mPEAK) at the UCSD Centre for Mindfulness.


In 21 days you will:

  • Gain greater clarity on your next big adventure

“The path is just beginning. No matter what chapter you are currently on, you are in the right place.”

- Pete Kirchmer

Derek Covington

Throughout my 20+ years in Olympic sport over nine Olympic Games, I have helped elite performers and teams across the globe achieve success. As a former competitive hurdler and coach, I have learned first-hand the importance of mindfulness in achieving success – more than a series of techniques, but a personal journey. Known for being innovative and visionary with a track record of world-leading excellence in designing systems for individuals and teams to perform their best under stress in complex, high pressure environments. Coaches performers to enhance the human capacity for peak performance, resilience, focus and “flow.” We conquer ourselves – not the mountain.
