About Mental Mountaineering
Mental Mountaineering is a reflection-based mindset and mental performance tool built for athletes, teams, and the people guiding them.
We help players build self-awareness, track how they’re showing up, and get personalized AI insights that strengthen leadership, emotional resilience, and role alignment — all grounded in research-backed frameworks like Transformational Leadership, Authentic Leadership, and Social-Emotional Learning.
Why Sports?
Because organized athletics are one of the most powerful — and overlooked — vehicles for personal development.
Sports teach discipline, teamwork, grit, and identity under pressure. But too often, we leave mindset and leadership development to chance.
In a world that’s rapidly changing, we believe self-awareness is the most important skill a young adult can develop.
It’s the foundation for navigating challenge, leading others, and growing with purpose — in sport, school, and life beyond both.
Why We Exist
Mental Mountaineering was founded by Brian Droz, a product strategist with a background in performance analytics, leadership development, and behavioral science. After years building systems that tracked what people do at work, he set out to build one that helps people reflect on who they are — and who they’re becoming.
This isn’t just about mindset.
It’s about forming the kind of leaders the world — and your team — will need next.
