Hey! I'm Coach Carolyn, and I am a mental performance coach.
During my time playing competitive ice hockey, I overlooked the importance of the mental aspects of sports. I used to believe that success in sports was primarily dependent on physical training, without considering the mental game. However, after retiring from playing and starting to coach youth ice hockey, I realized that focusing only on physical training was limiting my athletes' potential for high performance both on and off the ice.
​
Now, I am a firm believer that guiding athletes to success in sports requires more than just practicing physical skills, extra drills, and off-season conditioning. I am committed to incorporating education and training for mental performance into my coaching, considering it to be just as crucial as physical practice.
In 2022, I received my master's degree in sport and performance psychology. During my graduate training, I collaborated with mentors and athletes to enhance my expertise as a mental skills coach. My goal was to ensure that as I pursued my coaching career, I was fully supporting the overall development of the athlete. Now, I am eager to share this knowledge with you. Whether you are an athlete aiming to elevate your performance or a coach seeking ways to inspire consistent effort from your players, mental skills training is vital and invaluable.
Like any team sport, success requires communication, effort, and trust.
Are you ready to get to work?
