ABOUT
At Human Performance Mentors, we don’t just create leaders—we awaken them.
Our mission is bold: to ignite true happiness, fulfillment, and global well-being by developing leaders who live with purpose and lead from within. We believe leadership is not just a skill—it’s a way of life. It begins with the questions most people avoid:
“Who am I?”
“What’s truly possible for my life?”
We train leaders to rise from the inside out, fusing mindset and skillset with spiritual clarity, emotional strength, and practical action. This is cutting-edge human performance training, not just for your career—but for your entire life:
Spiritually. Relationally. Physically. Professionally. Financially.
This isn’t hype. It’s transformation.
Our method turns individuals into solution seekers, powerful creators who influence their environments, not react to them.
We don’t chase success—we align with it.
“Be Who You Want to Be” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a call to action and a global movement we are proud to lead. Through every initiative, intensive, and conversation, we’re empowering people to become the kind of leader others want to follow.
So ask yourself:
Are you ready to lead… or still waiting for permission?
Michael Cooper
Founder / Mentor
I’m not here to motivate you. I’m here to wake you up.
For over 30 years, I’ve trained champions, guided elite leaders, and mentored parents of high-performing athletes who are done drifting through life. I’m Michael—high-performance coach, human behavior strategist, and founder of the Missing Playbook™ and Non-Drifter Nation™.
I specialize in the invisible game—the mental, emotional, and spiritual edge that separates the elite from the average. My work isn’t about hype. It’s about deep rewiring—clarity, confidence, and the kind of inner fire that turns pressure into power.
Whether you're a parent, an athlete, or a high-level operator, you don’t need more noise.
You need a proven blueprint to build mindset mastery, gameday confidence, and unshakable leadership—on and off the field.
This isn’t surface-level coaching. It’s a full-system upgrade.
I offer exclusive intensives, private mentorship, and immersive retreats for those ready to break the cycle and lead at the level they were born for.
If you’re still reading this, you know mediocrity isn’t for you.
You’re not here to drift.
You’re here to dominate.
Welcome to Non-Drifter Nation™.

Ask yourself, how well are you utilizing your mind to operate at an elite performance level?
PHILOSOPHY
Drive. Grit. Relentless Determination.
A refusal to settle for anything less than extraordinary.
At Human Performance Mentors, we believe fortitude is the defining trait of a leader. It’s more than perseverance—it’s the spiritual, emotional, and mental armor required to thrive in the arena of life.
Fortitude isn’t built in comfort. It’s forged in adversity.
It touches every dimension of your existence—your spiritual path, health, professional ambition, financial discipline, and the quality of your relationships.
That’s why our work is rooted in developing the mental and emotional resilience leaders need to rise, not retreat, when life applies pressure.
Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a daily decision.
And it demands strict self-discipline, clarity of vision, and the courage to walk a higher path.
We’ve spent decades studying, applying, and teaching this truth:
Your ability to lead begins with your capacity to lead yourself.
This is the path of the uncommon.
Where pressure is purpose.
Where adversity reveals identity.
Where every moment is a choice—to drift, or to dominate.
We don’t break.
We don’t bend.
We rise.
We lead.
We build legacies from the inside out.
This is Human Performance Mentors.
And this is where leaders are born.
" Success. Performance. Clarity. Fulfillment. We’re all chasing it—but only a few are willing to do the real work. That’s where Human Performance Mentors comes in. World-class coaching, elite mindset training, and life mastery tools—built to turn athletes, influencers, and leaders into champions on and off the playing surface" - Michael Cooper

At Human Performance Mentors, we deliver world-class coaching experiences designed to unlock clarity, build resilience, and create unstoppable momentum—on and off the playing surface.
When individuals and organizations are introduced to the Missing Playbook™, some principles resonate immediately—because they speak truth. Others challenge conventional thinking and disrupt outdated patterns. That’s the point.
Real transformation starts when you're willing to think differently.
Once our clients experience the power of this philosophy, hesitation disappears—and results take over.
We don’t just talk mindset—we train it.
We don’t just coach leaders—we build them.
And we don’t just promise change—we deliver it through proven systems backed by experience, results, and decades of elite-level performance.
Masterminds Private Success Coaching Seminars Workshops Keynotes
When we introduce individuals and organizations to the Missing Playbook™, some of the ideas will require no further explanation or proof of their accuracy because they are familiar to practically everyone. Fresher concepts challenge individuals to think in new ways, and for that very reason many students of this philosophy sometimes hesitate to accept them as sound. But once they become aware of the research and the power behind the philosophy of the Missing Playbook™, their hesitancy quickly evaporates! Results prove that mental training really does work.
