"We have been incredibly fortunate to have Olivia Papakyrikos lead multiple workshops within our community, and each one has been so impactful for our athletes, parents, and coaches! Olivia brings a ton of knowledge and expertise, but what really sets her apart is her ability to make that information practical, approachable, and immediately usable. She takes topics that may feel overwhelming and helps you walk away feeling grounded and prepared with tools you can actually put into practice. Olivia also has an incredibly calming and grounding presence. Even the way she communicates and her tone of voice can immediately put you at ease and make you feel supported!! We cannot recommend Olivia and Papakyrikos Performance enough! TRULY! Her work is valuable for athletes of all sports, genders, ages, and levels- and for the parents and coaches supporting them!"

"Olivia served as a workshop leader as part of our 2026 Girls in Sports Leadership Summit, an annual event that we run for 100+ female-identifying high school student athletes. Olivia's workshop, "The Mental Skills Playbook: Performing Under Pressure" was a hit! The students described Olivia's workshop as highly engaging, helping them build both skills, self-awareness, and confidence. One student wrote, "I learned different techniques for calming my stress, but also that stress can be beneficial. I really liked the visual example of positive self-talk because having an image that quickly comes to me helps me in moments where I am choosing between positive and negative self-talk." Another offered, "I learned that everyone struggles, and I'm not alone. I also learned some really useful coping mechanisms for when I get stressed." If you are considering reaching out to Olivia for a speaking engagement or event, don't hesitate a moment longer! She was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process (prompt and professional in her communication, detail-oriented, etc.), and she knocked it out of the park with the high school audience. She has so much to offer - we will bring her back in the future!"

"We had Olivia come speak with our swimmers and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She worked with a wide range of ages on our team and did an incredible job making topics like body image and an introduction to sports psychology both approachable and engaging for everyone. What really stood out was her ability to connect with the kids. Even our youngest swimmers were attentive, involved, and genuinely interested the entire time. Keeping a large group of swimmers with lots of energy engaged is no easy task, and she handled it so naturally. She created such a positive, supportive environment and gave the swimmers tools and perspectives that go far beyond the pool. We’re so grateful to have had her and would absolutely love to work with her again!!"

— Emily Ellison

"Our team worked with Olivia in person and over Zoom and she is always able to present valuable, meaningful, insightful information and promote thoughtful, fruitful dialogue that continues far past our sessions. She quickly establishes a rapport that is genuine and supportive. She is a real asset and we look forward to working with her for years to come."
