Based in Miami, Misty's journey began with her own mental health struggles as a teenager. Growing up immersed in sports culture as a coach's daughter and an athlete, she internalised the "tough it out" mentality that often prevents athletes from addressing their emotional needs. This firsthand experience fuels her mission to create safe spaces where athletes can acknowledge their full humanity beyond physical performance.
As a contributor to Hall of Fame Health, a Certified Life Coach, and Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, Misty delivers compelling keynotes and workshops that tackle the unspoken rules of mental toughness in sports and cultivating a winning mindset. Her approach centres on four key pillars: acknowledge and release limiting beliefs and emotions, create clarity and confidence, lean into one's authentic experiences and gifts, and cultivate a winning mindset to remain resilient through challenges. She teaches strategies to help clients develop a personalised mental conditioning and coping toolkit.
Misty has spoken at UCLA, the University of Miami, community events, and for student-athlete organisations like the Florida High School Athletic Association. She has also served as a featured speaker for corporations such as Douglas Elliman’s NBA Crossover event in Miami.
Misty's work extends beyond traditional sports psychology, addressing how athletes can maintain mental wellness while building their personal brands and navigating life transitions. Her podcast, Bailey and Buck Unplugged, explores the mental well-being of celebrities, athletes, and public figures.
Book Misty Buck to equip your team with practical strategies for mental resilience, authentic self-expression, and sustainable high performance that transcends the playing field and transforms lives.
