The Optimal Performance Institute (OPI)

The Optimal Performance Institute is a non-profit, educational organization started in 1995. The motto, Interrogo, Cogito, Patro means Question, Think, Achieve. By 1998, John Farley and The Optimal Performance Institute organized a live, week-long certification training in applied sports psychology (which included sports hypnosis). Leaders in the field of sports psychology traveled to the $100 million Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment complex in New York City ready to teach Eighteen (18) psychologists and other professionals from around the country. The faculty included many leaders, including: Dr. Bruce Ogilvie, the father of applied sports psychology in North America; Dr. Thomas Tutko, San Jose State University professor and author of several books, and Dr. Don Greene, U.S. Army Captain, Special Forces (Green Beret), and author of many books — as well as both an Olympic sports and musical performance consultant.

Circa 1999, The Optimal Performance Institute (OPI) became a degree granting institution, approved by the state of California to confer doctoral degrees in applied sports psychology. Later, OPI added bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fitness, nutrition and applied sports psychology. At the end of 2011 the degree granting aspect of OPI was transferred to what was Wexford University. The Optimal Performance Institute continues to offer live trainings for professionals who want to enhance human development for themselves and others. Today, OPI provides dental and medical professionals the hypnosis skills and knowledge needed to improve patient outcomes.
