After graduating from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Smith has become a true Pacific Northwesterner while maintaining his Southern roots. Establishing a private practice (Unleash! Mental Performance, https://www.unleashskill.com/) in Bellevue dedicated to the mental wellness of athletes, Dr. Smith often relies on his personal experience as a guide to obtaining his mission of improving the world of sports through the development of past, present, and future athletes. During his free time, Dr. Smith enjoys maintaining an athletic lifestyle and developing his Texas-Style smoking BBQ skills.
