About Adam

As the Director of Mental Performance for the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team and co-founder of the Antifragile Academy—an initiative designed to help people thrive amid stress, chaos, and uncertainty—Adam Wright, MA, PhD, has spent over two decades enhancing the mental resilience, focus, adaptability, and well-being of high performers.

With advanced degrees and training in human performance's biological, psychological, and social dimensions, Dr. Wright bridges time-tested interventions and cutting-edge research with the practical demands of competing at the highest level. He thrives on the razor's edge of high-stakes performance, whether working with elite athletes, C-suite executives, founders, first responders, performing artists, or medical professionals.

Dr. Wright’s ability to integrate mental, emotional, and physical conditioning sets him apart, making him a trusted partner for those determined to excel in the most demanding environments.

  • My mission is to unlock human potential by driving mental, physical, and emotional excellence, enabling individuals to perform at their best, thrive under pressure, and achieve sustained growth and well-being.

  • My clients are the ones who embrace challenges head-on and aim to perform at the highest level, no matter the field. They come from diverse arenas where the stakes are high, and the margin for error is slim. Here’s who I work with:

    Elite Athletes: From national-level competitors to professional teams, these individuals understand that mental resilience is as crucial as physical conditioning. They’re committed to achieving and sustaining peak performance under relentless pressure.

    Tactical Professionals: In military, law enforcement, and emergency services, these clients operate in extreme conditions where precision, resilience, and split-second decision-making can make all the difference.

    Performing Artists: Actors, directors, and creatives navigating the unique pressures of the entertainment industry—from mastering their craft on set to handling the intensity of public life. For them, mental clarity, focus, and emotional resilience are essential.

    Corporate Leaders and Executives: At the top of their game, these clients make high-stakes decisions daily, balancing vision, strategy, and the well-being of their teams. They seek the mental tools to perform consistently and lead confidently under pressure.

    Medical Professionals: Surgeons, physicians, and healthcare leaders facing critical decisions and intense responsibilities daily. They require resilience, focus, and the mental stamina to perform consistently while delivering the highest standard of care.

    The pursuit of excellence drives my clients. They value a process that supports sustained performance, resilience, and growth, and they understand that mental skills are essential to achieving their goals and thriving—not just surviving—in their fields.

  • My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, built on a strong partnership with each client. At the core of this collaboration are trust, respect, and open communication, ensuring clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

    Every journey is unique, and I’m dedicated to creating an environment where your strengths, challenges, and motivations drive progress. Together, we set clear, measurable, values-driven goals and design personalized strategies that push you forward. Understanding how past experiences shape your mindset, we’ll use those insights to fuel growth and resilience.

    Drawing from multiple disciplines—psychology, neuroscience, sports science, and philosophy—I craft practical strategies that amplify performance, well-being, and personal growth. This holistic, client-centered approach keeps us adaptable and laser-focused on achieving sustainable success, whether navigating high-stakes environments or everyday challenges.
