Robert “Rob” Cabry MD is a board-certified sports medicine physician, decorated United States Navy veteran and experienced performance specialist. Over a 25-year career in sports medicine, he has worked with athletes of all ages and levels, including collegiate, professional and Olympic competitors. He travelled internationally with US Figure Skating for ten years and continues to consult with individual skaters, giving him first-hand insight into the psychological as well as physical demands of elite performance.

Dr Cabry has also spent four years developing his work in sports hypnosis. He created Peak Performance Mind Code, a programme designed to teach young athletes how to understand and use the power of their minds in a clear, practical and age-appropriate way. His approach combines his clinical knowledge of sports medicine with direct experience of the pressures athletes face when focus, confidence and emotional control matter most.

At IHC27, Rob will present “Peak Performance Mind Code”. He will share concise techniques that athletes can practise daily to strengthen focus, manage pre-performance nerves, reduce self-doubt and build durable confidence. The session will explore the role of the unconscious mind, elite visualisation, future-success journalling and the useful principle that athletes either win or learn, and only truly fail when they quit. His goal is to give practitioners an accessible framework they can use when supporting young people in sport and performance.
