About Me
Dr. Kojo Arhin (Psy.D.) is a mental skills and performance coach who works with athletes and high performers. He is also certified as a Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement Trainer. His journey began as a football player on scholarship at Northern Arizona University, later competing in various leagues and eventually playing professionally for the Billings Outlaws in the Indoor Football League.
After transitioning from playing to coaching, Kojo spent 13 years as a strength and conditioning coach and wide receiver coach, training youth and professional athletes across multiple sports. He has also prepared NFL prospects for combines and pro days and trained NFL veteran players during the offseason training cycles.
Driven by a desire to understand the mental side of performance, Kojo returned to school and earned his Doctorate in Applied Clinical Psychology, where he has an expertise in evidence-based strategies that athletes can all benefit from. He founded Performance Edge Mental Fitness not as a clinical psychology practice (which we do not provide) but as part of an athlete's whole preparation to achieve their best when their best is required.

About Performance Edge Mental Fitness
Performance Edge Mental Fitness helps athletes and performers unlock their full potential, especially in high-pressure moments. While we do not provide clinical therapy, our background in both physical and mental training enables us to train athletes to become “mindful doers”—individuals who recognize unhelpful thought patterns and manage them before they affect performance.
In today’s competitive environment, where overthinking, fatigue, and time pressure can limit success, mastering the mind is essential. After working with hundreds of athletes, parents, and coaches across multiple disciplines, one truth is clear: mental skills are often the key difference between potential and achievement.
Many athletes know their emotions affect performance, yet some feel overwhelmed by them, while others feel disconnected. At Performance Edge Mental Fitness, we bridge that gap by providing evidence-based strategies that build emotional awareness, resilience, and focus.
Our mission is simple: help athletes train their mental side of performance so they can show up at their best when it matters most—turning potential into peak performance.
