Positioning a Performance Coaching Brand to Reflect its Expertise

Dr. Jonathan Fader founded SportStrata on the belief that the mental skills behind elite athletic performance apply far beyond sports. Drawing on decades of experience, including serving as team psychologist for the New York Mets and New York Giants, he built Strata into a performance coaching practice that not only served athletes, but executives, healthcare professionals, performers, first responders, and organizations.

As the organization evolved, the identity no longer reflected the breadth of Strata’s expertise or the diversity of the people it serves today. Repositioning the brand meant creating an identity and digital presence that better reflected the organization while establishing a stronger foundation for continued growth.

Reflecting the Full Scope of Strata

While the refreshed identity established a new direction, the website became the primary tool for communicating it. Every page was reorganized around Strata’s expanded audience, making it easier for visitors to understand the organization’s philosophy, services, and approach to performance coaching.

The experience balances the credibility of Dr. Jonathan Fader’s work with an approachable structure that helps athletes, executives, healthcare professionals, performers, and organizations quickly see where they fit within Strata’s offering.

Built for Where Strata Is Going

The work extended beyond a visual refresh. Every element of the identity and website was designed to support Strata’s continued growth while creating a stronger connection between the organization’s expertise and the people it serves today.
