Our Story
Preparing people to perform — not just train.
We develop junior athletes and adults through structured, professional coaching systems designed to build confidence, resilience, and repeatable performance — on the field, on the course, and in life.
PSP was built on the understanding that effort alone is not enough. Without structure, progress is inconsistent and performance breaks down under pressure. That’s why we don’t use one-size-fits-all training or generic programming. Every athlete and adult we coach is met where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally — and guided forward with intention.
Pivotal Strength. Stone-Solid Resilience. Peak Performance.
Why Pivotal Stone Performance Exists
Effort alone doesn’t create performance. Structure does.
Pivotal Stone Performance exists to address a problem that shows up across athletics, professional environments, and everyday life: most people want to perform better, but few are supported by systems that make consistent performance possible.
Motivation comes and goes. Effort spikes and fades. Without structure, training becomes inconsistent, progress stalls, and performance breaks down under pressure.
PSP was built to provide a structured, professional performance pathway designed for long-term development — not short-term results. The approach is informed by years of observing how high-performing individuals across different cultures train their bodies and minds to stay strong, mentally sharp, and capable over time.
Whether working with youth athletes, competitive golfers, or adults balancing demanding lives and careers, PSP focuses on building the foundations that allow effort to matter.
What that looks like in practice:
Structured programming with clear progression and intent
Small training environments that allow real coaching
Accountability systems that build confidence, discipline, and resilience
PSP doesn’t exist to make training harder.
It exists to make performance repeatable, durable, and sustainable.
Who We Serve

Meet the Coach
Pivotal Stone Performance is led by Coach Penny Childers, a performance and mindset coach with more than 5,000 hours of hands-on coaching experience working with junior golfers, competitive athletes, adults, and executive clients.
Pivotal Stone Performance was created in response to a clear gap Coach Penny observed across both athletic and professional environments: too many people were being trained harder, but not prepared better. Strength without coordination. Effort without structure. Motivation without systems.
Her background includes extensive professional work in high-pressure operational settings overseas, shaping a performance perspective built on execution, decision-making under stress, and long-term resilience — not theory or quick fixes. Through this work across multiple countries and cultures, Coach Penny studied how different populations trained their bodies and minds to support longevity, clarity, and sustained performance.
Across athletic, professional, and everyday environments, one pattern was consistent: the strongest performers were not chasing intensity or quick results. They operated within structured systems that supported strength, movement efficiency, sound decision-making, and recovery over time. That observation directly shaped the foundation of PSP — performance is built, not gifted.
At Pivotal Stone Performance, every program is intentionally designed to improve coordination, strength, mobility, and mental toughness, so athletes and adults don’t rely on motivation alone. They develop repeatable capability that holds up under pressure.
Using TPI-informed movement screening, structured strength training, and performance mindset coaching, Coach Penny identifies the physical and mental bottlenecks that limit consistency. From there, she builds durable systems that translate directly into measurable performance — in competition, in work, and in life.
Clients don’t just train harder at PSP. They move better, think clearer, and execute with confidence when it matters most.
Pivotal Stone Performance is built on one uncompromising standard:
Pivotal Strength. Stone-Solid Resilience. Peak Performance.
