Revolutionizing the Talent Acquisition in Sports
In the sporting world there is obvious value in regular communication with the athletes directly and the people around them. The insights that come from these conversations are rich and important. How those conversations are substantiated — or not — by the outcomes of personality assessments is due for criticism.
Personality and the Impact on Performance
Think about the last time you watched an elite athlete compete, regardless of if they won or lost. There’s no question what they did with their body, the skill and athleticism they displayed, was impressive. But what you don’t see is what’s going on between their ears.

MISS vs. MAKE – Leveraging Comparative Personality Data for Enhanced NFL Draft Strategies
Our goal at Mental Metrix is to help organizations understand the mental makeup of their draft prospects — from at the top of the draft through free-agency — to build the most competitive, cohesive roster.

Super Bowl 2024 Pre-game Analysis: Leadership Dynamics
At Mental Metrix, we bring objectivity to the mental metrics that support winning a championship. We know physical skills are important, but at this level all players are exceptional. We want to understand who has the mentality to win on the day when it matters most.
Our Why
It was my fifth year in the NFL and I could not stay healthy. Mentally, I was done, and it was obvious. A sport psychologist changed my life, extending my career. If we can create a space where the psychology aspect is used for athletes we can get buy-in and ultimately set them up to be successful on the field, on the court, and afterward, when they’re done playing. Mental Metrix provides the data needed to help create and change that space.
I am Chris Spencer
I had what most people would call a successful NFL career. But I know I could have achieved more, should have achieved more. I think a lot about, what did I need as an athlete? What would have helped me? That’s why I created this company, Mental Metrix.
