Minot State presents Shaun Tyrance: Wellness and Keys to High Performance
MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University is pleased to announce Shaun Tyrance, team clinician and vice president of player services and assessment for the Kansas City Chiefs, will speak at two events at MSU on Monday, March 24.
Tyrance will address MSU Athletics and the Minot State staff about professional takeaways from working with top-performing teams, coaches, and athletes in the NFL at the Student Center Conference Center at 10:30 a.m. His address, “Wellness and Keys to High Performance,” set for 7 p.m. at Ann Nicole Nelson Hall, is for students and the public for a conversation on maximizing personal, academic, and athletic performance.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Tyrance to our campus and can’t wait to hear his message,” said Ralitsa Wierson, Minot State student mental health counselor. “Shaun’s experience with the highest level of professional athletics and his background in mental health counseling and wellness work will resonate with — not just our student-athletes — but all individuals from multiple backgrounds, interests, and age groups.”
Tyrance just concluded his sixth season with the Kansas City Chiefs following Super Bowl LIX. He was promoted to vice president of player services and assessment in May 2022. In this role, he focuses on all aspects of behavioral health, wellness, and performance psychology for all club employees, including players, coaches, and staff.
Prior to joining the Chiefs, Tyrance had opened a successful private practice in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2010, where he provided mental health counseling, leadership development, and mental skills training to college and professional athletes. In addition to working with athletes and coaches, Tyrance has consulted with Fortune 500 companies to help them hire and develop top talent within their organizations.
He holds multiple certifications as a mental performance consultant, has been published in periodicals, and is the co-author of two books. He was a four-year letter-winner and co-captain for the Davidson College football program, graduating with a bachelor's degree in sociology.
Both speaking events at Minot State are free due to sponsorship from MSU Athletics, the MSU POWER Center, and Minot State Student Affairs.
