About OKTO
Athletes are expected to be unbreakable. Behind the stats and seasons, many carry injuries, identity loss, and pressure that training alone can’t fix. OKTO was built by athletes to bring structure to the mental side of sport by delivering evidence-backed tools that support focus, resilience, and recovery.
OUR APPROACH
OKTO combines lived athletic experience with evidence from psychology and recovery science. The methods are flexible and practical, designed to meet athletes where they are- whether that means building focus, managing stress, strengthening routines, or navigating transitions. What connects it all is a commitment to tools that are athlete-built, evidence-backed, and usable far beyond sport.
