"The New York Islanders made a forward-looking hire this week that speaks less to systems and rosters and more to the unseen layer that increasingly separates good teams from great ones. The organization announced the addition of Siana Sylvester as Mental Performance Consultant, a role that will span NHL, AHL and prospect levels - a signal that the club is investing in cognitive preparation the same way it invests in skill development, analytics and recovery."
"Sylvester arrives with uncommon range. She is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, a Professional Certified Coach and a mentor within the AASP ecosystem. Her resume crosses sport, government, military and aerospace - including work with NASA leaders and military officers - which is precisely the kind of cross-domain background that modern high-performance teams seek."
"Most recently, Sylvester spent seven years with HigherEchelon, a firm specializing in organizational and mental performance. There she led Army-wide Holistic Health & Fitness (H2F) and Ready & Resilient (R2) programs across five installations, managing more than 50 coaches and training soldiers in resilience, performance and pressure-management. Earlier in her career, she served as Mental Performance Coach for Harvard and Smith College women's hockey programs and contributed to NFL Player Engagement's inaugural Bridge to Success program."
