Eric Thompson

Eric Thompson is the founder of LIFTT Leadership, a neuroscience-backed framework for emotional regulation under pressure. A former D1 baseball player and coach, Eric works with championship teams, Olympic athletes, NBA coaches, and elite performers across sports and business. Recently, he worked with the University of Texas Longhorns softball team during their 2025 national championship run, helping athletes like Reese Atwood and Teagan Kavan build the mental skills that separated good performance from championship performance. Eric's approach focuses on how athletes can regulate their nervous systems under stress, quiet the inner critic, and perform when it matters most—skills that translate from athletics to life beyond.
