After working as a researcher at the prestigious NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, he joined Mental Training Inc. in the USA and started working with elite and Olympic athletes in major sports including tennis, swimming, UFC, BMX, and golf.

Now based in Melbourne, Australia, as Director of Vida Mind, the sport psych branch of Vida, one of the largest tennis academies in Australia, Dr Lafont provides peak performance coaching to athletes, performers and business executives.

Inspired and trained by the greatest teachers in positive psychology, Zen, human potential, and neuropsychology, Damien teaches others how to use the unlimited power of their mind to build an unstoppable mindset, grow inner strengths and become happier.

Deeply involved in the sport and consciousness field, Dr Lafont is member of the Sport Energy Consciousness Group, collective of doctors, psychologists, scientists, world class athletes, and leading-edge coaches who provide transformational practices that translate the wisdom of sport’s “Ideal Performance State” into practical training methods.

Dr Lafont’s research about peak performance has seen him collaborate with the world’s best elite sportspeople, musicians, dancers, and artists, and spiritual masters – many appear in several books he has authored and co-authored including Back to the Zone – sport and inner experiences; and Your True Nature – Wisdom of Living Masters with his partner Natalie Deane. In their latest book The Power of Positive Impact they bring together their sport experiences as well as the latest research in neuropsychology.
