Igniting a global movement of high performers

In the dynamic world of sports and high achievement, a new force is emerging—one poised to change how athletes and high performers approach their craft. Ignite Performance Consulting is leading a shift in mindset and leadership training.

Reagan Swatosh (MBA ’26) and her partner co-founded Ignite Performance in 2022 after deciding to combine their skills, expertise, and passion for the high-performance niche. Together, they have over two decades of experience training, speaking, and coaching. Driven by a shared passion for fostering peak performance, they sought to create a venture that would not only equip individuals with the tools needed to lead confidently but also enable them to overcome mental barriers and excel beyond expectations.

The core of Ignite Performance focuses on equipping athletes and high performers with the mindset, tools, and support needed to lead with confidence, overcome mental barriers, and reach peak performance. Swatosh and her team achieve this through elite mindset training, performance coaching, and high-impact team workshops to unlock each individual’s full potential.

Their goal? To ignite a global movement of high performers who lead with resilience, purpose, and relentless execution, transforming their teams, communities, and futures.

Today, the need for such transformative performance solutions is more urgent than ever. With rising mental health challenges, increasing pressures to succeed, and limited access to personalized support, the need for mindset coaching, training, and strategies is crucial for success. In sports and high-achieving environments, burnout, lack of confidence, poor team dynamics, and underdeveloped mental skills are issues that Ignite Performance aims to address. Recognizing these growing challenges, Swatosh developed practical strategies to help build mental resilience, sharpen focus, and instill a sense of purpose. These strategies fill the gaps left by traditional training, returning to the fundamentals of developing the right mindset and leadership skills necessary to maintain peak performance in highly competitive settings.

Swatosh is working on Ignite Performance full-time through the Skandalaris Launchpad accelerator program this summer. Swatosh shared, “The resources here have not only sharpened my business acumen; they’ve also helped me see the long-term vision for Ignite more clearly and equipped me to bring it to life.”

Ignite Performance has seen over 10,000 individuals positively influenced by their work, a milestone that speaks volumes about the effectiveness and dedication of their team. This achievement is just the beginning. They plan to launch a new online platform that will include exclusive access to special resources, content, habit tracking features, and the community of users.

Swatosh’s entrepreneurial journey exemplifies the power of taking bold steps and embracing the unknown. When asked what advice she would give to aspiring entrepreneurs, Swatosh said: “The start is what stops most people – so don’t wait for the perfect time, idea, or plan. Just start. Take one step at a time – even if it’s small. Momentum builds clarity, and action builds confidence. The earlier you dive in, the faster you’ll learn, grow, and find your direction.”

Ignite Performance is redefining what it means to excel in high-performance environments. Through their approach and dedication, they’re paving the way for a new generation of resilient, purpose-driven leaders — one step at a time.
