Drake is an MSU alum earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Drake earned his Psy.D. from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and his Master’s degree in Counseling with a specialization in Sport and Health Psychology from Adler University.

A Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), Drake has worked extensively with professional, collegiate, and amateur athletes, both individually and in team settings. He takes a practical approach to mental health, believing that performance and well-being are interconnected through a strong mind–body connection. Drake emphasizes building resilience through failure, gaining confidence through overcoming challenges, and uses a laid-back, approachable style to help destigmatize mental health in athletics.

Drake enjoys staying active in a variety of sports, with golf as his go-to for blending competition and relaxation. He loves to travel, especially to see sporting events live. His favorites have been the FIFA World Cup in South Africa and the Ryder Cup in Italy. He rarely misses the chance to have a game playing in the background. Drake also values time with family and friends, including with his dachshund Lucille.
