Misty Buck's biography

At a glance

  • Mental performance coach for athletes and executives
  • Certified life coach and mental health advocate
  • Podcast host and author on mindset shifts
Misty Buck is a transformative force in athlete mental health and mental performance, bridging the gap between peak performance and emotional well-being. As the author of Athlete Mental Health Playbook and Athlete Branding Blueprint, she brings a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to her work with athletes at all levels. Her third book, Mindset Champion, is set for publication in 2025. Based in Miami, Misty's journey began with her own mental health struggles as a teenager. Growing up immersed in sports culture as a coach's daughter and an athlete, she internalised the "tough it out" mentality that often prevents athletes from addressing their emotional needs. This firsthand experience fuels her mission to create safe spaces where athletes can acknowledge their full humanity beyond physical performance. As a contributor to Hall of Fame Health, a Certified Life Coach, and Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, Misty delivers compelling keynotes and workshops that tackle the unspoken rules of mental toughness in sports and cultivating a winning mindset. Her approach centres on four key pillars: acknowledge and release limiting beliefs and emotions, create clarity and confidence, lean into one's authentic experiences and gifts, and cultivate a winning mindset to remain resilient through challenges. She teaches strategies to help clients develop a personalised mental conditioning and coping toolkit. Misty has spoken at UCLA, the University of Miami, community events, and for student-athlete organisations like the Florida High School Athletic Association. She has also served as a featured speaker for corporations such as Douglas Elliman’s NBA Crossover event in Miami. Misty's work extends beyond traditional sports psychology, addressing how athletes can maintain mental wellness while building their personal brands and navigating life transitions. Her podcast, Bailey and Buck Unplugged, explores the mental well-being of celebrities, athletes, and public figures. Book Misty Buck to equip your team with practical strategies for mental resilience, authentic self-expression, and sustainable high performance that transcends the playing field and transforms lives.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
