In this episode of Connecting with Purpose, we're joined by Gina Tucci, founder of Beyond the Scoreboards, licensed counselor, and mental performance coach. With a lifelong passion for sports and athletic competition, Gina helps athletes, coaches, executives, and teams overcome mental roadblocks and elevate their performance.
Drawing from her background in sports psychology and mental health counseling, Gina creates customized programs that build resilience, shift mindsets, and enhance peak performance. She specializes in equipping high performers with mental fitness tools to manage pressure, navigate transitions, and gain a competitive edge.
As the former Director of MindCode at Resilience Code in Denver, Colorado, Gina developed a program to address clients' mental health and performance challenges. She holds a certificate in sports psychology from Seton Hall University, along with Master's and EdS degrees in counseling.
Her own journey—overcoming performance anxiety, learning to detach from expectations, and developing resilience—has profoundly shaped her work. She believes in the power of visualization, self-awareness, and a growth mindset to help individuals thrive in sports, business, and life. With years of experience working with elite athletes, coaches, and corporate leaders, Gina is the perfect guest for Season 3 of Connecting with Purpose, where we explore the intersections of sports, business, and personal growth.
